Carved Rocks

Welcome to CarvedRocks.com! CarvedRocks.com is a highly categorized in-depth informational resource for all terms related to Carved Rocks, Petroglyph and Rock Art. About us.


Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are pictogram and logogram images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, and abrading. Outside North America, scholars often use terms such as "carving", "engraving", or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images. Petroglyphs are found world-wide, and are often associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petro-, theme of the word "petra" meaning "stone", and glyphein meaning "to carve", and was originally coined in French as pétroglyphe.

The term petroglyph should not be confused with pictograph, which is an image drawn or painted on a rock face. Both types of image belong to the wider and more general category of rock art and Petroforms, or patterns and shapes made by many large rocks and boulders over the ground, are also quite different. Inukshuks are also unique, and found only in the Arctic (except for reproductions and imitations built in more southerly latitudes).

what is the oldest, most enigmatic, mysterious structures that are better cut rocks than tiahuanaco?
Q. the stones i am talking about are the shape of an h and perfectly carved to puzzle themselves together. the only way to carve these rocks is with diamond tipped tools or lasers. how did ancient man carve these stones. they also were found at the top of a mountain with no explaination of how they got up there.
Asked by lorents - Tue Apr 14 17:32:08 2009 - History - 2 Answers - Comments

A. I strongly assert your presumption is incorrect - ancient peoples were able to cut rocks without diamond tipped tools or lasers. There were various techniques, such as heating rocks and splitting while brittle, or using fibre strings with abrasive grains fed into the groove. Bronze and other metal tools would be used for certain tasks, and harder stone tools would be used on softer stone blocks. Wood frames were used for shaping, and fillers were used to pad stones that weren't perfect 3-D fits. We can't often say for sure which particular methods were used at which site, but there's absolutely no suggestion that they used diamonds or lasers! These methods could be used to cut 3-D trapezoid and other mixed concave/convex shapes that would… [cont.]

Do you know a website to find the history of my house/address or the land it is on?
Q. I'm just really interested because I was told my basement was an army barracks and I also find carved rock indian beads in my yard and drive way sometimes. Especially since we recently dug around my house to create a walk way. Is there a website you recommend to find this information that is also free? I think some of the fees are pretty ridiculous, but please help. Curiosity is going to kill me lol. Thank you, in advance.

A. Unless the lot is well-known for some reason, you'll probably have to go to your town's planning office and look up all of its previous zoning records. That will tell you if anything else was on that lot in the past. You might be able to find information about your town as a whole though, on websites about the history of your area. If your town has a museum devoted to its own history, go inquire there.
