A film crew painted over the art many years ago destroying it sadly. They are not supposed to be these bright colors. The undamaged art I had to climb up in there. I discouraged peopel from touching and stepping on any of the art. I needed my light reflector to get better shots with the extreme shadows. I wonder what this art really looked like once upon a time.
Tunnel with motifs overpainted.
Below is a sheep motif. Too bad it was painted over :(
The photo above shows where the Petroglyphs are untouched. It's a flat area you can't really see form the ground and is in shadow. Double diamonds below, possibly a rattelsnake motif, very popular at these sites.
Little man, about 8 inches long, hence my ruler.
Archer motif. This possibly told a story.
Little Alien (?) dude. Hmmmm area 51 stuff going on here???
A snake motif
This little sun was inside the wall and was painted over.
