They're not arms. They're talons. The image represents a bird grabbing it's prey. I think each piece is unique. I don't know if one can classify them. Thanks for showing. Interesting.

Thank you for your question! We have a wonderful presentation by Shumla's Senior Preservation Archaeologist called "Understanding Lower Pecos Feline Imagery on our KZbin channel that talks about some of the possible interpretations. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKSngXxqdqqNgck

@@kathycondon4734 a lot of rock art is ancient and their meanings are not known. They have interpreted some of them. Some of the tall figures with the outstretched arms are shaman and dieties of theirs called katcinas. Some believe they are maps of information about this surrounding area. Water, gameju nok are often depicted on those walls. There is a book called.”The rocks begin to speak” That explores the meaning of several notable panels of rock art.

Why do all rock art pictographs in the American Southwest look so similar ?
@shumlaarchaeologicalcenter5 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question! There are a lot of similarities among pictographs. They are often made with the same colors...black, red, yellow, and white. And, pictographs from different areas often have the same shapes....square-bodies torsos, facing outward, or stick-bodies. We are all human and we often create images in a similar fashion. People from the past are just like us. On the other hand, there are differences. In some areas, pictographs are made with green and blue pigment. And, for people who study rock art, they can often place where an image was created just from a photograph....Four-corners area versus Texas versus California versus the Plains. We appreciate your interest in the rock art of the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Southwest Texas and we hope you'll visit our website to learn more about our work! www.shumla.org

I saw the spirit of a virus that had infected me. If I was an artist I could reproduce it. I think these people were reproducing what they had seen and imagined. Maybe the spirits of the cactus in one painting. The cactus has it's own spears and there are human made spears depicted. Is this an explanation of how humans got spears from the cactus spirit ?? Thanks for showing.

5k-6k years of age is considerably long age for paint & figures to endure in a rock shelter thats so shallow & exposed to the elements, also the variety of colors used in the executions is extraordinary with a poly of color application as opposed to so many pictographs being monotonal using 1 -3 different colors at best or 1-3 shades of the same color.Throughout history until more recent commercial times, artists made their own concoctions of pigments with the ultimate aim and concern being the longevity of the pigment. with permanent oils often cracking and flaking after time, yet fresco painting like a water based tempura type medium applied to damp plaster to allow maximum penetration like a stain, eliminating the flaking and cracking. Fresco painting was commonly done on the cathedral ceilings and walls in Europe as well as on murals & stucco base relief sculptures in Meso America.Your presentation was good, but may i suggest a few things to enhance your production by showing more photography of the subjects your speaking about while talking ,including photos of the whole panel and the individual images instead of 1/2 images cut off at the head, showing D stretch images of the entire panel as well as individual characters in detail would be a great addition too, By Bringing the 5 other shelter sites into the conversation with many of them being 3k years older it would be great to see photographs of those sites & panels as well, to compare styles & to put it all in context, a picture is worth 1000 words in this case. less graphs & more attention to images would be great.

If I was looking at this mural up close I would wonder if the rock that they painted on was prepared in any way such as sharp edges made soft by grinding a little bit because I have a tendency to see the images that are on the stone I can sort of look past all color just to be looking for the possible image that was on the stone so I would have to be up close to see if this stone wall was prepared before it was painted on the first time

Thank you for your comment! We have not seen evidence of the Indigenous artists intentionally smoothing or grinding the physical surface of the limestone walls prior to painting. The limestone surfaces under the paint appear to have the same texture as the surrounding areas of the shelter without paint. We have noted some examples of where the artists incorporated natural features of the rock wall into the painting-- using the rough texture of the shelter wall as part of the composition.

At kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DdmpSrZ5uDp9Em50s it appears to me to be a shaman's interpretation of a firsthand account of an Aztec temple. The jagged "steps" on the side as well as the stairway in the center to the squared top. It also appears to possibly have bodies falling down the sides with decapitated heads. The figures to the sides of the "temple" also appear to be depicted as blood fountains.

Some look like cactus people, and one looks like a dog person. The " temple" ?? A flower, or fruit. There are overlaying pictures ?? No ?? I'm not an artist. So I don't know. There appears to be a human head, but it's black and doesn't seem to fit ??

These stunning images and reconstructions remind me of what Picasso said after viewing Spanish cave paintings: "We have learned nothing new." Some images make me wonder if Paul Klee wasn't an Indigenous American in a former incarnation. I live near Sedona and each time I encounter a glyph or graph on a hike, I am delighted to be a witness. Have learned much from your presentation. Thank you.

I am about 15 minutes in, and this question may very well be answered later in the video, but I figured I'd ask here: is the claim that the painters of the Lower Pecos are the ancestors of the pyramid builders in Teotihuacan? Or that they would migrate from the Lower Pecos into Mesoamerica in the centuries between the end of the Pecos River Style and the construction of those pyramids?
@shumlaarchaeologicalcenter9 ай бұрын
Thanks for your question! Some researchers (like Lopez Austin) argue the presence of early North Chichimec iconography in Mesoamerican indigenous groups. For example, the symbol complex of the Feathered Serpent has much earlier manifestations. However, to track the ancestors of the pyramid builders in Teotihuacan we would need more information and research. What we know is that in the murals of the Lower Pecos, there are iconographic motifs that we can see in Mesoamérica (Teotihuacan murals and other sites). Since the Archaic period, hunter-gatherers painted symbols that are part of an ancestral religious tradition.
