I hope that if they’re going to put the camera on the guest that the guest will put some lights on his face, so we can see him. Then again it’s incredible that we have an old guy in a zoom meeting anyway.

Thanks for this fascinating webinar -- great for frequent rock art tourists (like me) as well as for academics.

Love the Crow Canyon archaeological center. I haven’t seen this one yet. I hope some of you awesome people from the West Coast will come help us out on the East Coast. We’re just destroying all kinds of stuff here.

32:05 top left you can see the eyehole and the face. The carved faces on the stones- first I would look for the birds because those are easier to see. Before paper, books, stone was the media for storing media. At first, I showed the archaeologist what look like just rocks, and then I found of the most defined ones and they still deny it-perhaps you could advise?

33:39 the emblems in red are what I see here in North Carolina as well. They are tribal emblems, and are not a type of animal or anything. It’s like a letter.

What I’m here to tell you is that there is a complicated, multi facet style of art within the stones that goes unrecognized until you study for three or four weeks. The way to learn it is complete immersion, keep them all on your kitchen counter, and in your common areas.

37:29 this guy knows, you know. Do you know how in India that I have that blue God with six arms? It doesn’t have six arms, those are only the poses of the dance. This is so frustrating trying to share ancient indigenous art- We should’ve recognized it a very long time ago. If you know, then we have to teach other people. There’s no possible way that some people just are so dense that they cannot understand or learn this. It’s about making people care. Things like the fish with the bear, figuring out the puzzles. That is what it’s going to get the public attention. Keep doing this!!! I love it 41:21 I use the Dstretch on my phone. It’s incredible.

44:22 sorry last comment! This is great, and I’m really enjoying the video. you will find that the petroglyphs are painted on top of the older carvings. People used to stand on the side of these mountains and sand them down to create an image. Later people came around and respected the site unlike us. They put their own art on top of the old art. I want you to be able to see the old art. It is the key to understanding human consciousness.

Are there any examples of landscapes carved (as opposed to "etched") into boulders or cobble sized stones?

Animals peck. Artists stipple, with a hammer and a fine point chisel. Language matters.

Humans pull the stick out.
