The World's First Photographers

Prehistoric Native American petroglyphs. Archeologists believe most of the rock art was created during the Archaic (6000-1000 B.C) and Fremont (450-1300 AD) periods. It's mind boggling to me how these can survive that long. I kept thinking "wow... these were the world's first photographers!". : )

 

Note the drawing on the top left. It is a woman giving birth, with the baby coming out feet first.
