Greetings. I finally had some time to go back and look at some petroglyph photos from a trip I had taken into the Santa Rosas earlier this year. See post below. "Three Days of Petroglyphs in the Santa Rosas" I am not an expert by any means but this is my best decipher of what the indigenous peoples were trying to "say". They were all probably common knowledge among the tribes back then. What does the brain trust think?
First up.
I think this one represents the drying of Lake Cahuilla. It even correctly shows the Colorado river inlet orientation.
This one.
The four visible plants? Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn? The ancient people had a lot of time to look at the night sky.
Last one.
I am seeing a Star and a Person. The star people as in ancient legends?
Daren is the expert here. What say ye?
I will be heading out again as I know I missed some. This area contains the most petroglyphs I have seen in one place in my travels into the Santa Rosas.
Cheers
