Crawling inside the cave reveals some well-preserved pictographs with trace elements of many more at one time. It must have been a powerful experience to enter this chamber when it was in use. There were a lot more petroglyphs on scattered boulders around the vicinity as well. All signs point to this being a significant site for the indigenous people, in use for many many years. #petroglyph #petroglyphs #pictograph #pictographs #rockart #prehistoric #prehistory #ancient #ancientpeople #indigenous #indigenousart #nativeamerican #nature #art #archaeology #prehistoricrockart #petroglifos #ancient #desert #cavepainting #canon #california #mojavedesert #greatbasin
Petroglyphs above the entrance to the second chamber. You need to crawl in, then it expands into basically a dome. At one point in prehistory, the entire interior was likely covered in pictographs. Some still remain but the remnant traces of pigment bespeak what was likely an awe-inspiring cave. #petroglyph #petroglyphs #pictograph #pictographs #rockart #prehistoric #prehistory #ancient #ancientpeople #indigenous #indigenousart #nativeamerican #nature #art #archaeology #prehistoricrockart #petroglifos #ancient #desert #cavepainting #canon #california #mojavedesert #greatbasin

Abrigo del Castañarejo, al Sureste de la provincia de Ciudad real. Arte rupestre post-paleolítico de la vertiente nororiental de Sierra Morena. Se encuentra ubicado a 930 ms.n.m, en la parte exterior de una pequeña cavidad que ofrece la roca cuarcita, orientada al sureste. Fue encontrado en el año 2008, por Ángel Soguero Muñoz, durante una excursión familiar con sus hijos Víctor y Andrés. Posteriormente en el año 2010 fue estudiado por Alfonso Caballero Klink, Laura María Gómez García y Francisco José López Fraile, siendo este a día de hoy el único estudio realizado sobre este yacimiento pictórico. #arteprehistorico #arteesquematico #arterupestre #arte_prehistorico #arte_rupestre #arte_esquematico #pinturasrupestres #pinturas_rupestres #rock_art #rockart #arqueología #prehistoricrockart #prehistory #preistoria
Michael commissioned this Irish Bog Oak pendant for his partner - he requested a contemporary design which included Irish wood and if possible a little silver inlay heart #❤️. We usually craft wooden rings from Irish Bog Oak so it made sense to use an off cut of this precious prehistoric wood. #woodenpendant #woodjewelrymaking #irishbogoak #bogoak #woodenrings #blackoak #prehistoricrockart #commissionedwork #beautifulwood #silverinlay #rings #pendants

Flower imagery or something else? One school of thought places this site, amongst others in southern Arizona, as evidence of Hohokam belief in the flower world.

More interesting glyphs from this Hohokam site I’ve been posting about lately. Check out the unfinished anthropomorph with no legs on the upper boulder, perhaps best seen in the second photo. That curvilinear meander, also best seen in the second photo, is similar to other “U”-with-circles-at-the-ends glyphs I’ve seen at this site. I’m really perplexed by the petroglyph singled out in the third photo. The very large asterisk best seen in photo 5 reminds me of a navigational symbol.

A snow leopard family with the cubs in tow enjoy a beautiful vantage point on a steep bluff above the turquoise Zanskar river. In the decade that I spent looking and documenting these many have sadly disappeared including this one. The significance of these precious works of art, documenting our collective human journey, cannot be overstated. Discovered across the globe, this ancient form of expression serves as the earliest record of transmitting complex thoughts and enduring communications across different groups and generations. Through rock art, we gain insights into the concerns and values of our ancestors from millennia past. While documentation is crucial presering them is even more relevant. Today efforts are on with a lot of local involvement and one hopes a lot will be preserved going forward! #petroglyphsofladakh #rockartofladakh #documentaryphotography📹 #ladakh #ladakhtourism #conservation #rockengravings #archaeology #arthistory #unseenladakh #heritage #languageofart #snowleopards #snowleopardsofladakh #anthropology #symbolicart #ancientart #prehistoricrockart #river #zanskar #turquoiseriver #artistic #creativeart #culturalheritage
