    Maybe…the coyotes drew them 🤔 😄😉

    The ancient education system must have been local to be successful. How did the ancient desert dwellers make notation of their music? Notched sticks to record the intervals might not have been widely available in the desert. How did they teach mathematics?

    Good videos! 😎👍

    Maybe some mad dude came and carve that petroglyphs, recently.

  10. @MrBornfisher on December 10, 2024 at 8:05 pm

    The dead rabbit with the arrow is a great petro. Love the coyote story.

    4:43 – an attacking Triceratops ? … incredible

    Nicely done video and as others mentioned in their comments, it’s nice that you keep the location a secret to try and avoid the vandalism of these historical sites. I am in my 70’s now and love the desert, in my younger years I travelled in my 1986 Jeep CJ7 all over and what is interesting as you already know, is that a lot of these symbols/petroglyphs are repeated throughout the Mojave Desert and elsewhere. Apparently this area didn’t have Big Horn sheep or maybe you saw those Petroglyphs, but didn’t show them. A lot of the symbols are repeated throughout the desert regions, so there must be some standardization in their meaning. Thank you again for a nice and interesting video. Happy trails…

  21. @craigcorson3036 on December 10, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    So when you were sheltering under that Joshua tree with the coyote – did you offer it some water? Could have made a friend for life.

  22. @crungen5 on December 10, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    What is known about them?

  23. @EvaLapinska on December 10, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    What`s a technique of this rock art? what was used to draw them? It was obviously created already on crashed stone pieces, because no one of visible compositions are interrupted – they all are complete and adjusted to the certain shape of the stone. But those stone piles are even more interesting than petroglyphs they are holding. Is there known any background about their origin?

  24. @johndemeen5575 on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Some hippies done that in the 1970s. How dare they. St.Paul.

  25. @dirtwizard5647 on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Are you sure it wasn’t peyote not coyote j/k
    It could be Naga glyphs . Thanks 🙏👍

  26. @kimlarso on December 10, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    Find the tunnels dug all throughout the PW from Alaska/Canada down to Arizona/Mexico/Texas by the workers they’d bring in from dif countries (another form of human trafficking)

  27. @michaelleblanc7283 on December 10, 2024 at 8:32 pm

    "Kilroy was here" messages go back a long way in spirit if not text. Wonder which one of the glyphs might be a Kilroy . . . { : )

  28. @R8ndy on December 10, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    Those rocks are not natural to that location. The broken rocks with the picture glyphs were placed there. Guessing there may be a man made worksite nearby. Or at least there was a worksite at some point.

  29. @carvinlambert6899 on December 10, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    Young people, teenagers. They explored just outside of their Huts and would draw just to past their day, after their chores were done… Pottery shards are always nearby, revealing the Camp sites. The very nice drawings are by an Adult to get them started, and for them to practice.

  30. @UncommonEyes on December 10, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    One looks like a roadrunner😊. Have seen petroglyphs but exploring days are over.😢

  31. @virgilcain8152 on December 10, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    Any arrow heads?

  32. @charleshicks3492 on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Well done😎⭐️🤩

  33. @davekreitzer4358 on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Very Kool man , thanks for sharing ! ✔️👍😎

  34. @jimmoran7365 on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Thank you.

  35. @ToyzintheatticBombnation on December 10, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Very cool video..thank you!👍

  36. @stevesyverson8625 on December 10, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    At 4:48 you have a nice panel of petroglyphs. Those are unique for me. You also reveal mechanical weathering at it’s finest. What a complex fracture as this slab stayed in place. Heat and cold unrelenting over the years. Well, I wasn’t there so it could have happened suddenly, but I digress.
    Nice desert varnish on one of the three major types of lava.

    Hey DT, have you checked out Florine Lawlor OFLV AaDA?
    Yes, I am speaking in code and playing Johnny Cash’s “I’ve been everywhere man”as a dedication to DT.
    Amazing!!! !!!!!!!!!
    Edited to add exclamation points. Not enough. Better now;)

  37. @getl0st on December 10, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    What’s the bet it say, "Help, we’re Lost" in Caveman Glyphs….

  38. @tracker1673 on December 10, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    At 4:28 there is a cross with circle at the ends of each line. I have seen a very similar looking one in Nevada. There does seem to be similarities all over. Hawaii and even Guam. Obviously no evidence of contact but they must have seen the same things in the night sky.

  39. @AncientStar-1 on December 10, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    It’s just the usual kid graffiti, nothing astounding or magical. It’s also getting worn-off, and not all that old. The weather –rain and snow will have them warn down soon. Why do people get all that excited about olde kid scribble??🥱🧐

  40. @janjentz1053 on December 10, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    Love Petroglyphs. 6 years ago our daughter took us to Parowan gap. I was hooked. We now live in So. Utah and love to explore. Thanks for sharing.

  41. @billysgarden-u9s on December 10, 2024 at 8:42 pm

    repressentions of what they saw. plasma/ electrical sprites

  42. @desert-walker on December 10, 2024 at 8:47 pm

    Very cool yes don’t tell anyone where it is unless you know them well, I never do that’s for sure🌵😎

  43. @HuangXingQing on December 10, 2024 at 8:47 pm

    Might you host some Meetup hikes out to the places you show on this channel? I’d love to come down and traipse around that region.

  44. @TarkMcCoy on December 10, 2024 at 8:47 pm

    And if you put all the pieces together correctly, you get the plans for intergalactic travel…

  45. @CjbrkBrooks on December 10, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    One of those looked like a boat with a mast with sails.

  46. @BabyBoomer71 on December 10, 2024 at 8:57 pm

    Those little diggings might be an insect, scorpion or a little animal like a mouse?

  47. @darrylbaber6329 on December 10, 2024 at 8:57 pm

    If a person wants to convey a message to the generations that follow them stone is a good way. However one language would be more likely to be lost to time than using several languages for the lasting purpose of understanding

  48. @charleslloyd4253 on December 10, 2024 at 8:59 pm

    From a civilization that was destroyed by whom we call Asian native Americans today?

  49. @kendallsmith1458 on December 10, 2024 at 8:59 pm

    Sometime before Europeans;
    "Where is that boy? He’s supposed to be learning to hunt!"
    "Oh he’s over there scratching on rocks again. They call it GRAFFITI."

  50. @kimlarso on December 10, 2024 at 8:59 pm
