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.
Daniken - seems like I remember that. There is really no good dope on what these were ment to represent. Guesses abound with your idea of clan leaders in burial clothing being the most common. Daturia (sp) a hallucinogen is common to the area. The figures are larger than life, seven or eight feet high. A very small piece of the pigment was taken by the park service several years ago for radio emission testing - it yielded a stunning, IIRC, four to five thousand BC. Maybe six to eight. The mastery of the artist(s) is impressive, especially when compared to the typical native art of antiquity, which, as interesting as it is, is scratchings. The Great Gallery is one of the continents most impressive heritage sites. A bitch to get to. Yes, they define enigmatic. BTW, this spot is prolly no more than two miles away from where that Aaron guy got his arm trapped by a boulder and had to cut it off with a dull Swiss army knife four or five years ago.
