Sinaguan Petroglyphs


Today I stayed busy at this 1,000 year old petroglyph site located around Sedona. During the morning hours I studied the history of this site and during the afternoon I was let go to teach groups of tourists for interpretation.
The wall is about 20 feet long along side a cliff nestled deep in a slot canyon which is impossible to see or notice unless you're 10 feet away from it. It was made around 1,000 A.D. by the Sinaguan Indians.
Supposedly the site was a type of ampitheater for surrounding Indian villagers. A shaman would stand in front of these walls and tell stories.
Above is a picture from my camera phone :)
