That looks like a beautiful spot!
Your missing the art
I'm not sure exactly what you mean? I always appreciate the art and symbology of a site, the beauty of the area I'm in, and respect for the all the people who came before. As I've not had a chance to get out much recently, I really do miss the art.
I live in Hurricane and have been looking for that site for ever, I would love to meet up with you and visit that site. Let me know
I spent lots of hours scouring every possible location on Google Maps, then lots of hiking though sand checking those locations. Best of luck in your exploring!
That's cool I understand, can you let me know if it's in the right side or the left side of your heading north towards the dunes?
If you take a look at the terrain at around 12:00 in the video you can get a pretty good idea of part of the area I travelled,. The first 1:15 covered about two hours of hiking ;) FWIW, this hike was mostly all on the Utah side of the border.
I'll see if can piece it together, it just gets frustrating sometimes when your limited in time to look. Thank you for your help.
Amazing, great videos on Rosy Canyon. Cam you see any of the petroglyhs from the road before you climb?
Generally no - there are a couple of glyphs right near the roadway but most require a bit of hiking to get to.
@@PetroglyphWatch My mom lives on Cane Beds Road, we drove over below where we think you were and used binoculars, if my knees were better I'd so climb that. That is such a beautiful area. The glyhs around 3:30 of the "baskets" are awesome, perhaps the Basketmakers did those ones!
Looks like a sacrifice alter
One way people figure out how old petroglyphs are is to figure out if glacial or water striations were there before the carvings or after the carvings, or from the lichen growth on the previously pecked gliffs. I have seen deep striations over the top of a dream catcher petroglyph Carl Crusher was showing awhile back. I see waterlines around 6:00 and the giant scrape marks lead me to believe there was water there and that definitely was a dinasau, but there are at least 2 other characters to the right of the T-Rex. Higher up from there looked like white Terridactals. Cool video. Thank You for taking us along. 😊
Your work is absolutely fantastic. I have been slowly watching some of your videos, and I do so intentionally. On one side you have tha natural surroundings, the rock and cliff formations, where most of the petroglyphs are. And then you have the art itself. I take my time studying them, and all is made possible to adventurers like you, a massive thank you. Do you have an email I could reach you at sir? Thanks again.
Thanks for your comments and appreciation of my attempt to share the symbology that has been left for later generations - my goal is to share these sites before they are lost and to allow others to enjoy the beauty that I find in the desert. Cheers!
It is very humbling to think that ordinary people left “art” and “stone artifacts” behind, some of which are a thousand years old and some, tens of thousands years old. What will ordinary people living today leave behind that will last as long. My best guess is our legacy will be buried in landfills. Not much beauty or “art” to be found there. Thank you for sharing a beautiful panorama of the desert and the amazing petroglyph.
Thank you! It's my pleasure to share the beauty that I find in the desert, in places that most people fly over or drive past with barely a glance out of the window. Let's hope that in ten thousand years we will have left something meaningful to those peoples.
Multigenerational very awesome!
When you make reference to a glyph with a unique name please elaborate on the meaning of that name
Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a specific timestamp that you are referring to?
I’m in Cortez, Mesa Verde For Corners country. Great Presentation thanks. 😮
Thanks! Every time we go out, we learn a little bit more, and sites like this one that have been visited for many thousands of years helps to put our place into perspective.
The circle reminds me of the finger loops in an atlatl. Google: "basketmaker atlatl."
Thank you for removing the trash left by thoughtless people. I hate it too. Thanks for sharing this too! 😍
Dang, those are some old glyphs! 😍Thanks for sharing.
I agree “dumb asses” those who added their marks in modern times. Shame on them.
Thanks for sharing, some cool images there!
An amazing find today (for me). To watch your adventure and witness what you're sharing is why I seek creators like you. I tend to enjoy Trek Planner, Tom and Julie and you thr most thus far. I've watched many, it's the way of the adventure that's Appreciated.
Thanks! Sometimes the small finds when I'm exploring are my favorite.
I enjoyed this triple today. Pictographs are always my favorites. Pictographs are awesome though. It seems there csn be some intuitive sense with some questions, such as water, farming, hunting maybe husbandry eith a few sheep? Water changes a lot over the centuries which leads me to sense those could be water glyphs. Though it's difficult to see the source if water for some, perhaps that source dramatically changed? The oval eith the line symbolism seems like it could have become a normalized presentation? Adding bowls/cups to mean a spring location? Thanks for your thoughtful adventures.
Thank you so much for the captions and the education
Thanks for sharing those petroglyphs. The deep Sharpening scratches and other for different purposes are interesting. Settlement around there must have been seasonal and the glyphs seem to indicate the many movements over centuries.
That area has been used (at least) since the Early Basketmaker period, and historically by the Southern Paiute. There is so much to see that I keep returning back to that area for more exploration.
FASCINATING
At 6:00, I think those are two birds facing one another.
Yeah, I agree - I need to go back once the snow has cleared and get some more images of that panel. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thank you!
Those groves are also made by man. The circles maybe a calendar
The notch runs off the edge so a person can get down and sight up the notch. The hole at the end is there for a stone to be placed in it to complete a sight tip, like a rifle. It becomes a sighting instrument.
The author points out that some have a drop off of 50 feet. Hmmm
don't know why every scratch a kid made on a rock is called art and tried to be given some deep dark meaning. A lot of them aren't even that old.
Are you aware of Anthony Peratt's linkage to plasma patterns? Worth a look. These are found all over the world.
U of Arizona’s tree rings studies have shown a 12th century drought. That means the period before was at least somewhat wetter. Harvesting water must have been critical. If most of these Cup and Channel glyphs end in a drop off, perhaps the form itself was used to collect water, a wide mouthed pottery jug placed at the bottom. Over 900 years there has been weathering and hence the sloughing off of bits and chunks of rock. So anything well exposed to the elements does not look today exactly as it looked 900-1000+ years ago. Where needed today people configure gutters to channel roof water into barrels. These ancestral Puebloan people were just as smart.
Those a great points. Most end in a short drop off, but occasionally they are on the top of cliff with 50' or more of drop. Since most are in the Shinarump Conglomerate, perhaps there has been some sloughing away of the level below the current cliff edge. NAU also has done some great studies about dendrochronology in and about Northern Arizona.
Those scratches are an ancient form of writing. Celtic maybe or nordic. Don't remember which.
14.30, snake and the eagle, great spirit in between. Brothers who fight.
Yeah, it appears to be that. Many of these canyons were home to the Ancestral Puebloan peoples, and many of their stories are still told among the current Puebloan tribes. I'll have to search out stories related to that idea.
If you are ever down around the valley I know several spits unknown to most. ruclips.net/video/qxjMOAsjWp8/видео.html
The first " water glyph" aligns with both winter solstice sun rise and sun set perfectly. Seen them both myself. I call them calendar glyphs. At red pueblo museum in Fredonia has a great slide show of 300 plus az strip water glyphs.
I love the mystery behind these. And how rare they are relative to the already rare petroglyphs
Lost spring is creepy ! Glad you didn’t get abducted by aliens way out there.
Last time I was out at Lost Springs Mesa the aliens seemed to be all away - maybe at Burning Man?
@@PetroglyphWatch went up there again today and saw a military plane ✈️ fly over us!
@@PiercesPOV Friday afternoons on Little Creek seem to be a good time for the Air Force flybys, especially out on the east rim of the mesa.
The bow hunter hunting is so cool. I stumbled upon a similar art piece in the gorge south of st george today. Keep up the good work, we have a spiral shirt in the shop that looks just like the one in your video :)
I've already got the spiral glyph shirt :) Proudly representing OTE!
That stick with a spiral looks like the modern day DNA Chain. Doesnt it? ❤
More likely an electrical discharge from the heavens. A lot of these symbols represent some terrifying celestial events, mostly plasma in different shapes such as circles with long tails, the hunched man, their human representation of something they couldn't describe. It's why they took shelter in caves and under rock, the safest place from a frightful sky.
You boner! Yes it is well preserved. But thanks to this video and others who exploit these areas, they will be vandalized soon. Thanks for that. Not cool sharing locations on the internet. Selling out the sacred!
Great video. The coil shaped, and zig zag glyphs, are one of the most iconic symbols in the rock art world. These images have been carved on rocks, on every continent, on earth. There are plenty of interpretations, but what do we use the coil for today? We use it to transfer energy, to cook our food, dry our cloths, and start our cars. The question is, what did the ancient people need coils for? What ever it was, it was important to them, and it was something to be NOT forgotten. Well, it has been. We are just left to hypothesize.
Great sites (that high one!) and awesome video! Be careful on those ledges...
Have you ever invested the color on your viewscreen? You can see some things better. Great video. Thank you for sharing these.
Yes, I do that and also use an iPhone app called "iDStretch" for color analysis as well - on painted surfaces it really helps to show the features that I might miss at first glance. And nearly always I find features when I review and edit the video that i missed on that visit, unless I have a lot of time to just sit and contemplate the rock art that is there. Quite often I'm working recording in the afternoon and like to get back to the car before dark.
Are these in or near Rosy?
Thank you. I really enjoy Your videos of the petroglyphs. Regards from Ody Slim
Great 😊 really enjoyed your video, thank you.
The Anasazi/Ancestral Pueblo people were acrobats. And, to think they were wearing leather or natural fiber sandals on those rocks and ledges. You aren't bad yourself getting up to some of those spots! Very cool, thanks for the videos.
2:32 Is that a portrait of Harry Baals? 😆
Hi Petroglyph Watch. Good to see ya ✌️
You probably know this already, but just as ancient people paint on walls in caves, they also painted on stones that they carried with them. Migratory people needed to travel lightly, so they found a way to put several images on one stone. It takes a while to learn, but if you take a close look at the rocks you will begin to see that every single one of them was brought to their present location by a human being. Can you see the photo realistic portrait on my avatar? We use Dstretch as well. Fantastic work, I love your passion. 👍
That is for sacrificial offerings the blood flows off the end. Theyre always on large flat surfaces. Sacrificial table
Is this close to the reservoir
No, it's not particularly close to the reservoir - it's a couple of miles west
This one also has nearby natural basins! Maybe they hold the supply of rainwater for the ritual act of filling the glyph.
Why do I feel like these serve a ritual purpose? Hunting ritual? A devotional act? Maybe something floatable went into the cups (berries, grain of corn, eye ball, or whatever) then blood or water was poured into the channels until it poured over the edge? I don't see these as direction finders, at all.
Amazing glyphs and amazing coverage. Thank you!
