Looks like crop circles.

These can’t be 10,000 years old, God must have made them when he made the Earth 6245 years, 2 months, 4 days and 6 hours ago.

Phosphenes tend to be universal, and can be the influence behind some art. Lots of the non-objective pertroglyphs look like phosphene patterns.

You see the same similarities in pot designs from different areas and times.

The Bible narrates a story of a clan of people, a TRIBE. It does not claim to tell the story of the history of the world. It follows the descendants of Adam and Eve, how they and their descendants interact with the world, with other peoples and with their God. The world obviously to thinking people, is very old. There were other people on the Earth when Adam and Eve were created. If the Bible is misinterpreted that is a problem, but it is what it is.

Spiral petroglyph at the V-Bar-V Ranch, Verde Valley, Arizona. This tight spiral is reminiscent of the coiled plaques that the Hopi weave from yucca fibers.

This spiral has been found in many tribes in North and South America and I believe the Aborigines of Australia. It seems to be a world wide motif.

That spiral petroglyph can be seen in various places here in Nevada - Valley of Fire, which is a known Anasazi area.

That glyph is exact not just a “similar” one.

Thanks for the post. I too live in S.E. Ak and have seen petroglyphs in various places. Ironically, recent indian art (the last several hundred years) does not resemble the petroglyphs in any way shape or form...

Could it be that somebody else was here before the “indigenous” peoples?!!

Our modern art doesn’t look much like classical art either. Cultures change over time.

spirals, images of a 'death-star' phenomenon.

Pam’s purple spyrograph is turning and turning
these visions in his mind are burning and burning
tracing tiny circles on his brain
longing for the day when he can finally kill the pain kill the pain kill the pain
Pam’s leash around his neck is clinking and clinking
his power over her is shrinking and shrinking
tracing tiny circles on her brain
longing for the day when he can finally kill the pain kill the pain kill the pain
late at night in Todd’s room he is dreaming and dreaming
these thoughts that fill his mind are screaming and screaming
tracing tiny circles on her brain
longing for the day when he can finally kill the pain kill the pain kill the pain
Pam’s purple spyrograph is turning and turning
these visions in his mind are burning and burning
tracing tiny circles on his brain
longing for the day when he can finally kill the pain kill the pain kill the pain
tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles tiny circles

haha!

Look into my spiral, look deeply into my spiral...you feel sleepy, your eyes are feeling heavy,
you are sinking, sinking
blissfully
sleeping
now give me all your money...
and the keys to your car
and the ID number to your bank account

har de har de harrrr
