Newspaper Rock, Petroglyphs @ Utah

Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument is a Utah state monument featuring a rock panel carved with one of the largest known collections of petroglyphs.

 

It features a 200 square foot area of extremely dense Native American petroglyphs on a "desert varnished" cliff wall. The petroglyphs were created by several ancient cultures beginning some 1,500 years ago. The drawings consist of animals, human figures and many inexplicable symbols -- a six-toed foot?
