I used some kind of marker to mark over the carvings so they could be more visible, what do you guys think? I will be returning here soon and just wanted some input on
What to look for, i have found larger rocks than this one within distance from this one, the carvings seem
To be more faded than this one, but they are surely there all
Over!

These are Tecoxquine petroglyphs, not treasure markers.

The Tecoxquines (Aztec Group) are a little known culture from the early 1500's, found in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit, Mexico. They left prolific rock art and petroglyphs. You can Google Jalisco rock art an see many examples online.

How far are they apart / compass degrees, how high are they MM or inches will tell you how a lot, previous post will tell you a lot also, some may be of a different culture. Especially the triangle with eyes and a flat side may indicate Royal Trail someone may have thought hey this would be good place to mess things up. I would try to follow this direction and see what comes of it, Flat side of the boulder would be my guess on a direction indicator, compass is a must, measure the bolder at the ground to the top will let you know if its measured by 33 inch / 66 inch pace. That's just my guess.

Tecoxquines petroglyphs video. Spiral is common throughout Central, South, and North America. Some look Boca Negra in NM. Like OP said above, Ojibwa did it, Huron did it, Shawnee, Adena, etc.. Cass City Petroglyphs in Cass City Michigan had some awesome ones till someone took a sledge to em. Some of the theory to the Spiral ones like fella said on the first page dealt with the Universe or Spiral of life, also it can be associated to ingestion of psychotropic plants. Nicotina Rustica had high concentrations of Alkaloids that could cause things, also they have found a variety of psychotropic plants in close associations to petroglyphs. Water sources like was said a few times usually mean a spring or a water hole, especially in the arid/hot climates. Awesome finds!

Great video, PA, these were easily identified by the location found.

The spiral seems to be a key symbol in many cultures, and not just on this continent. Some beautiful examples in Celtic and Australian Aborigine cultures as well. Thank you for the excellent post!

Nice carvings. There are many interpretations for the spiral petroglyph. LeVan Martineau identified them with water sources. The Hopi say they represent migrations. Others associate them with historic celestial events. And on and on. I guess we don't know what their creators had in mind when they created them and other petroglyphs, but we've got plenty of speculations. I had a memorable acquaintance tell me once that 16th European treasure hunters carved them to mark important sites - the meaning allegedly being, "all the stars in heaven". Who knows?

I'm possibly even more interested in concentric circle carvings, especially the extremely weathered ones that seem to be very old compared to the "Indian" petroglyphs nearby - often so subtle that I'll bet not one in a thousand who marvel at the "Indian" stuff ever notice them. This first cluster reminds me of your Celtic theme.



This is extremely weathered.

Very nice! And very true, that. Sometimes you have to peel back the layers, to recognize the language...and reveal the dialect.
