Ancient Secrets Of The Petroglyphs At The Winnemucca Lake: North America’s Oldest Known

A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - North America’s petroglyphs at Winnemucca Lake are the oldest known. Cut into several boulders located within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation in western Nevada, the petroglyphs date back at least 10,500 years, and possibly as far as 14,800 years.

It’s a remarkable collection of ancient rock carvings- a treasure trove of history and artistry.

Deeply carved, large grooves and dots form complex designs on several large limestone boulders.  These designs are closely spaced, forming panels on boulder-sized surfaces of a partially collapsed tufa mound.

The rock art's designs also include a number of vertical, chain-like symbols and a series of smaller pits deeply incised with a type of hard rock scraper. However, a very interesting feature of the petroglyphs is that they do not depict humans, animals, or even handprint symbols.
