Nevada Rock Art 46 images Created 3 May 2011

Ancient rock art (pictographs) found in Nevada, USA.

Some is found along the ancient shoreline of Pleistocene Lake Lahontan from thousands of years ago, others are carved into volcanic tuff found in remote areas of central Nevada, other sites are found in the south, perhaps carved by ancestor of the Yuman tribes. We'll never know.

All is precious; sacred and most is without modern meaning. Modern man can only speculate their meaning and their placement. Perhaps they were the graffiti of the day carved by the young, perhaps they have religious meaning.
