Panther Cave (41VV0083) Pictographs - 3D Modeling

The Panther Cave Pictograph 3D Modeling Project is a great example of the collaborative work Shumla conducts as part of our ongoing conservation and education efforts in the Lower Pecos River basin. This 3D model was part of a documentation project with our partners to digitally preserve the site for future generations.
Panther Cave, named after the giant Pecos River style panther pictograph at the far end of the site, contains a wide range of different rock art styles including Pecos River style, Red Linear style, and several unidentified pictograph styles. The site is situated in Seminole Canyon State Park & Historic Site and jointly managed with the National Park Service. Unfortunately, Panther Cave is endangered by periodic flooding and is accessible only by boat.
Shumla recently produced a new 3D model of Panther Cave as a part of the baseline Alexandria Project. Check it out at our SketchFab account at the link below!

This is amazing. This makes seeing what is actually there so much easier. Do you mind if I say it is actually very trippy?

Looks like Montezuma‘s well in Arizona

It's very cool but one very interesting one was missed and not enhanced and it is a clearer one than the first. Look at 1:10, in-between the first enhancement and the second.

Why do all rock art pictographs in the American Southwest look so similar ?

[@shumlaarchaeologicalcenter]

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

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 ??

@@redtobertshateshandles Art is a tricky thing for sure. It is all in the eye of the beholder and "meaning" can be obscured. Interesting how we all see different things in it.

Hmmm . . . I can tie my sailboat at the dock right?

[@jerry-xi4gi]

some parts you went straight past with enhancement...they would have been amazing...i don't understand why you did that ?

[@CRIMSONKINGRAGE]

I think most of the enhancements are completely shite and ruins what you are trying to do
