Explanation:
Long before
Stonehenge was built, well before the
Dead Sea Scrolls
were written, ancient artists painted life-sized figures on canyon walls in
Utah,
USA
-- but why?
Nobody is sure.
The entire panel of figures,
which dates back about 7,000 years, is called the
Great Gallery and was found on the walls of
Horseshoe
Canyon in
Canyonlands National
Park.
The humans who painted them likely hunted
Mammoths.
The unusual fuzziness of largest figure led to
this mural section's informal
designation as the
Holy Ghost Panel, although
the intended attribution and societal importance of the figure are really unknown.
The above image was taken during a clear night in March.
The oldest objects in the above image are not the
pictographs, however, but
the stars of our
Milky Way Galaxy far in the background, some of which
are billions of years old.
