-----------Petroglyphs of Venezuela -----------------
Most people know of mysterious places with pictographs found in the world such as the the caves of Lascaux in France, the petroglyphs of North America, of Africa, and the remains of the ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures of South America. However, few realize that there are places of equal importance scattered throughout Venezuela and the Amazon Region. Although a large number of petroglyphs have been documented in Venezuela, the mystery remains that a vast majority remain unpublished and in most cases undiscovered. Even with all the worlds modern technology, nothing can reveal the secrets etched in time that are now over covered with vines and jungle growth. Explorer Alexander Humboldt is attributed with the discovery of some of the most remotely found within Venezuela but most still remain lost the the memories of time. The question remains as to the significance of petroglyphs. Why are they (with such similar line and form) found all over the world? How did people get to these far corners of the world?

In some case, one can observe how the earth has changed during this duration of time since their making that where once water flowed now there is none. But, the other unanswered question remains.... what where their purpose? There have been some theories as perhaps they where made in some cases by shamans to indicate places of power or resources such as flint stone or symbols to convey ideas and concepts. But, others have speculated that perhaps they are nothing more than graffiti. None the less, when we see petroglyphs from our forefathers, we are transported perhaps to a memory of a time when our needs where different - a time when the wind and the sun had power in our lives. When our food came from our skills and our survival from kinship. There seems to be a memory of a man with a relationship with earth; where a rock was perceived as more than just a big stone - a time when everything was alive!
