I don't think they are that different from some of the American Indian Tribes we have now, and their spirituality. I notice on some of these they have a medicine wheel. Think about how hard it would be to create something with primitive tools. I think you are spot on. It looks like a flying squirrel. I see a medicine wheel on some of these walls. Maybe some of them are a type of Hallmark card to their families, or a prayer for protection. Others are clearly a story about their life.

The Paleolithic art is the biggest source of inspiration for my own art, and reading and learning from a blog like this is wonderful.<br /><br />The island of Malta where I live was unfortunately never home to any rock art (that we know of) but there is a rich history of Megalithic Temples, of which there are numerous animal carvings. Ghar Dalam too, is a natural wonder, when I go inside this cave I cannot help but wonder what life was like those 6,000 years ago...<br />Thank you so much!Canidae Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966464987865731366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760124847746733855.post-90754115959711055472012-01-30T07:48:12.039-07:002012-01-30T07:48:12.039-07:00Interesting, we have similar petroglyphs here, exc...Interesting, we have similar petroglyphs here, except for the long tail.
