Evidence that we were not the first ones here. Rock art created by the Hohokam native tribe, Phoenix AZ.

How old would this be Krista?

[Peter Carpenter]

I always wondered if the artist got told off, look what you've done to that lovely Rock put your graffiti and tag on it you wait till I get you home.

I'm always amazed by how early man started to draw and leave his record

@vignouse Good question. Most likely, someplace between 1150-1450AD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohokam

Amazing that it is still there. Great light, and shadows!

[vstap]

What a find! Always exciting.

[Joyce]

Great find and interesting shapes.

[Stephanie Swift]

Wonderful light, shadow and texture. Can one get close to this and touch it? It gives me a thrill to touch something that old.

[Ian JB]

nice image looks a very atmospheric place - wonder if our art will survive so long

@tristansmum It's roped off (sort of) because people have a tendency to vandalize. There's quite a bit of rock art all over Arizona in various stages of conditions.
