We did this when we where kids. It was called “Rock Art”.

If it was MicroJiroft 0.0001, it probably said:

abort/retry/fail?

The first two items are "loads". That's why they are cross-tied with rope. The second two items are "load bearing animals" ~ maybe reindeer with a sledge/sleigh config.

The animals carry the load.

Roughly translated, this means "I am a river to my people".

This traditional claim is a well known line in Lawrence of Arabia. It's what the king says.

Anyone whose tried his or her hand at Chin characters, or Sioux Indian sign language can bust this sucker.
