I went to Wyo for the summer, got a few good pics to share.

Do you think this is Spanish or the ancient ones.Yes they are every where.

Hadji,
By george I think you are starting to get it.
Very good catch.


Roxie,
Are these in the US?
Truly exelent and well preserved examples of early petroglyphs.

Very nice.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Good afternoon my friends, sorry for the late post.

A) all old Spanish mines had a small niche of some kind at the entrance with an
image of a particular Saint, Generally the Virgin de Guadalupe with a perpetually burning candle.

They always made the sign of the cross upon entering and leaving.

Most of these images are long gone, but you generally can still find the Smoke blackened niche near the actual portal easily.



B) The habit of binding the skull to form it into an elongated shape, i.e., flattened forehead, was also practiced in Central / south Sonora next to the Chihuahua border.

I recovered a skull with a bit of skin and hair from a burial cave in that region of a young woman about 22, that had had two children. It had been radically reformed to the point that the forehead was almost not noticeable.

I believe that it eventually ended up in a university museum.

Old dog,

Yes, they are in the US. The images came out better in the photos than you can actually see them in person.

I like those pics,did they use a form of pant or a stain. Using the color red did that mean anything or the use
of different colors.I also have the red used on one of my Alphas,the alpha is like a large what I call a 3d map
it's at the end of the alpha.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

When you dosee these petroglyphs intermingled through a Spanish site,
you may discover some of the critical Spanish signs painted as well.
I have seen several places where this is the case.
It requires a very observant and selective eye.
But they are there.

Lanny,

That Lion is looking at some thing very good. Notice the broken limb of tree pointing to it. This is a Spanish land mark I have seen this lion here in New Mexico also and it is looking at a mine or treasure hidden the one I'm talking about is hidden very good. Notice how the Bolder it is sitting on has been ground flat. This is a very importand mounument you were very close.

I couldn't stand it any longer and had to head out to the hills. Actually just down the road. I ask my 8 year old daughter if she wanted to go and she replied no until I offered her the camera, she is taking all the shots here. I thought she did super. Her young mind sees things that I will never see. take a look.

Here's some of the others that she took, check out the hoyos and profiles.

Way to go Thomas,
Get the kids to haul the gear and learn how to use it.
If the girl took these without being coached she has a very good eye.

There is a lot going on up on that ridge.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

on one of my recent trips I saw this hillside in the distance...
Bear in mind it is close to a quarter of a mile off.
These signs on this hillside are HUGE.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

and here are a couple more,
any ideas what the relief carving is?

I was near the edge and my partner says "look at me and smile"
He took the picture and then told me where I was standing. LOL

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Old Dog, could that carving be a sun sign?

 

[Old Dog]

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Shortstack ,

I suppose it might be.
I took the picture on an overcast day,
I'll have to get back out there and shoot it in the sun.

Look at the tool marks though!
That whole rock has been carved.
I think this exhibits the most work I have seen on one single sign any where.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

WHOA. To do that kind of work instead of piling small rocks on a flat area could mean a very important location is connected with it. But, then again, the way those folks moved some seriously LARGE stones and boulders and carved large figurines, maybe that piece in this picture was done as a "restful" project.

The reason I thought of a sunsign is because I couldn't make that carving fit any object such as a snake or arrow; it has an odd shape to it. Then I remembered that big pyramid in Mexico that has that big a--ed snake shadow made by the sides of the steps. I believe it's on the Pyramid of the Sun. There's nothing special about those steps until the sun hits them just right.

Well, I'm just learning about these signs and hopefully my guess is at least close.
