    Amazing Petroglyphs in Southern Nevada

    This is among my first posts here, so I'm not quite sure about posting locations of off-the-radar sites like this one. I'm more than happy to share info about this or anywhere else I've been.

    I'd also love to hear any interpretations of these petroglyphs, amateur or pro.

    First, we encountered a long panel clearly depicting a celebration after a successful hunt. This photo shows most of the panel.

    Dancers again and an archer shooting at animals:

    So, that was an amazing find, but a few minutes later things started to get WEIRD!

    First, concentric circles on the ground. I wondered if this buried rock was once exposed.

    Then, we had our minds blown:

    Previous glyphs in perspective (look at the rock in the foreground):

    Great Find

    Great find and nice photographs, the only thing missing is the Lat/Long info. Would be nice to photograph and document the location.

    I don't use a GPS, so I don't have coordinates. If you want to find these, access the area above Arrow Canyon. These 'glyphs are not in the wilderness area, but you could probably throw a rock and hit the wilderness area from the 'glyphs. They aren't far from Arrow Canyon narrows.

What we experience in powder is the original human self, which lies deeply inside each of us, still undamaged in spite of what our present culture tries to do to us. Once experienced, this kind of living is recognized as the only way to live

    The Shield figures are unusual for Nevada. What area is this?

    These were found near the Arrow Canyon Wilderness Area.

    That would be so cool to see these ancient writings in person. I hope you had a great time seeing all of these incredible writings.
