This is just a random exploration video of me driving to and exploring a place I hadn't been to before. It's located in the Four Corners Region of The United States. I wasn't sure what I would find, but seeing the petroglyphs of the bison and horses were VERY interesting.
I have seen petroglyphs of horses/bison in other places scattered around the southwest including in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.
I've been told that a general rule of thumb is that if you see depictions of horses in rock art, it means that the petroglyphs were created after the Spanish Explorers brought horses to the American Southwest around the mid 1500s to early 1600s. Horses and cattle would have been "new" animals in this region when they were introduced. So people could say that these petroglyphs were created around that timeframe.
I was very tired after driving and exploring all day. While I was driving back home, I looked off the side of the road and saw a very straight rock coming from an alcove. It seemed out of place, so I stopped and realized it was a ruin! It was the perfect ending to an overall great day!
