In #SouthAfrica it depends on the tribe (11 official languages, one of which is sign language). The Khoisan/San/Nama (original inhabitants of this area, also known as Bushmen and they are the ones with the rock art and petroglyphs) have names which can differ slightly between tribal groups.
So I guess tomarrows the Beaver Moon? When did giving each months Moon a name, usually animal, become a thing? What's the origin of this? Is it the same each year?

I know you recommended Witty’s Lagoon, but I never made it over there & didn’t know there were petroglyphs there. Or hugging trees. Or the Sitting Lady Waterfall. Dang, now I wish I had gone there 😭
Here’s a picture I took of the petroglyph at E. Sooke RP.

When we stand for the Petroglyphs, we stand for our ancestry, our culture, and the stories that shape us today. Let’s keep their voices heard for future generations to cherish and remember. 💛

(2/7) ancient petroglyphs left behind by Native Americans. But what if there's more to this tale than meets the eye? What if these carvings hint at something otherworldly, hinting at contact with ancient extraterrestrials? I mean, come on, look at these symbols! They're unlike anything found

Rockhounding for Petroglyphs in New Mexico, and Death at Rock Bottom, a paranormal mystery: Rockhounding is the hobby of searching for (and typically collecting) rocks, minerals, and fossils. (One would never collect rocks with petroglyphs...)

The ancients observed those huge electric discharges from the ionosphere with their own eyes and preserved them in rock art and petroglyphs to remember over generations. Those were most likely more intense sprites than today's.

(6/7) already provided by the cultures responsible for these symbols. If anything, the Hopi Rock further highlights the complexity and depth of human cultural history without any need to sensationalise it with alien theories. Feel free to chime in—do you find the origins of such petroglyphs

Experimenting with my beach finds. I carved an eye into this pebble. I had to wear gloves and earmuffs tho because the scraping sensations made my teeth hurt 😬

(4/7) carvings most likely belong to Indigenous peoples, such as the Wampanoag or their ancestors, who have a rich tradition of petroglyphs. Academic studies have suggested these glyphs could date back to the 17th century, serving storytelling or spiritual purposes rather than intergalactic

(2/7) imaginative minds for centuries. Etched with strange petroglyphs, it's long been a subject of wild theories speculating everything from ancient astronauts to lost civilisations. Naturally, conspiracy theorists have leapt at the opportunity to declare it a trophy of alien encounters. But,

What about the Murujuga Cultural Landscape. 50,000 year old petroglyphs. Not like the government hasn’t covered up & lied about damage. He is fucking disgusting 🤮 Must be quite a cushy job he’s been promised.

If AZ wasn’t so spectacular, Salt River Canyon get a lot more love.
Also, don’t vandalize ancient petroglyphs, for Gosh’ sake.

Flaming Gorge is a wonderful drive down into Utah from Wyoming. Totally recommend if you have the time. Dinosaur National Park is where I got an inspiration for a entire body of art work of Rock Petroglyphs done in mono prints. Sold allot of them through the years.
Old shot from a random road trip in May 2010. Somewhere in Eastern Utah. Flaming Gorge, maybe?
