The hiking was serious and long, views were fantastic and always fun finding ruins and artifacts. From the Grand Gulch area, around Mexican Hat, Vally of the Gods.
I estimate the knots are 700 to 900 years old.

Thanks Tom. You are a good photy type person.
This is the famous Great Gallery mural - four to six thousand years old.
Really beautiful photographs, Tom. Makes you itch to get out of town.
Can't scratch enough.
Say, didn't von Däniken use that one big character in the Great Gallery to make some sort of statement about alien visitors millenia ago? The more I look at them, the more they look like bodies shrouded for burial or entombment. Did you get any good dope on what archaeologists or anthropologists are saying about them? I think these figures look really enigmatic and spooky.
As you seem to be interested in this here is a pix of the famous, carefully sited and carefully drawn pictograph of something that was very obviously important to the artist, and he, or she was a good one. All of this is indicative of the peoples who made this artifact of being deeply impressed of what they were recording and wanted to preserve it for as long a time as they could. Modern archeology astromomers believe this may well represent a historical image of the supernova that exploded in 1053 AD, lighting the earth for three days, according the multiple Chinese historians. From hiking to the remote site and observing the great care the artist took to make sure his recording was in a protected site and the care he, she took to render the image, I believe this may be the case. At any rate, Chaco Canyon, where this is located in New Mexico, is, because of the Sun Dagger, known to have been a civilization highly influenced by the stars. For your consideration.
Introduction to the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner I can easily believe, that there are more invisible than visible Beings in the universe. But who shall describe for us their families? and their ranks and relationships and distinguishing features and functions? What they do? where they live? The human mind has always circled around a knowledge of these things, never attaining it. I do not doubt, however, that it is sometimes beneficial to contemplate, in thought, as in a Picture, the image of a greater and better world; lest the intellect, habituated to the trivia of daily life, may contract itself too much, and wholly sink into trifles. But at the same time we must be vigilant for truth, and maintain proportion, that we may distinguish certain from uncertain, day from night. -- T. Burnet, Archaeol. Phil. p. 68 (1692)

This picto site was selected for its protection, as it is on a horizontal slab of sandstone extreamly well protected from all elements. And it must have required scaffolding to allow the artist to reach the site.
