Ancient Petroglyphs

Cheers Big Al great pics mate

that lake pic is awesome

Thanks for posting Alexander.
Are there any descendants of the culture who created the petroglyphs left who still value them in their culture today? Like you say I think it best the petroglyphs be left where they are for others to discover. Similar to Aboriginal sacred sites here. I have walked in some very special places where artifacts thousands of years old were just lying around on the ground, & skeletons of the 'old people' were occasionally seen, exposed by the wind & rain. The 'rule, with all of these was was to not disturb them as they form part of t he songlines which connect today's culture with all that has gone before, back to the beginning of time.

No, I don't think so. Because here in Central Asia was a few big culture mixing and wars in far past. So no one can say it for sure that was this made by their ancestries.
But it is bad that this place not call historically valuable place. Not many people know about it and no one secure this place.

Now why would ya wanna blow them up man that's just naughty ;)

Excellent photos mate, thanks for sharing.
Would have been exciting finding those when you didnt know they were there.

Just a couple of rock carvings from a little north of where I live. Have no idea how old but have worked out from some of these carvings that water was in a NE direction about 2 days walk At this site there is a small rock pool which is covered with 1 and 2 man rocks to protect what water is collected when it rains. There are quite a lot of these type of carvings around this particular area and most are slowly disintegrating due to the extreme changes of temp.45 + during the day and down to - 3 and below at night.

Thanks for sharing mate!
If anyone also have a photo of ancient art lets post it here.
