Ancient Ruins And Petroglyphs

"Ancient American Indian ruins. Petroglyphs and pictographs originated from many western states. 2 methods were used in creating the rock art shown. Petroglyphs were pecked or incised into stone walls or boulders. Pictographs were painted on stone. Entrusted to us. much of these priceless remnants of ancient cultures. have been marred or destroyed permanently and cannot be replaced.

Halo Ruin. as I have named it. still has food reminants and artifacts. So far very few know of this place which appears to help keep it safe and intact. The ruins are the habitation sites where ancient cultures made their homes and stored their food and grain. They used natural hollows in the stone walls and cliffs. using hand made bricks for construction of their dwellings and graineries. They also used some primative excavation methods."
