Newspaper Rock - AZ
Newspaper Rock is a petroglyph panel etched in
sandstone that records perhaps 2,000 years of human activity in the area. Etched
into the desert varnish are symbols' representing the Fremont, Anasazi, Navajo
and Anglo cultures. The exact nature of these symbols meaning is still not
clearly understood. But they are typical of many sites throughout the U.S. in
their use of universal symbols, be it graffiti or a true "newspaper," recording
events of the times and earlier.
