From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, pecking, 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 (but not always) associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning "stone" and glyphein meaning "to carve" (it 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. 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). From Wikipedia under the

Q. I found this interesting story. Starts off as: Canada's only major Arctic petroglyph site -- a 1,500-year-old gallery of mysterious faces carved into a soapstone ridge on a tiny island off of Quebec's northern coast -- has been ransacked by vandals in what the region's top archeologist suspects was a religiously motivated attack by devout Christians from a nearby Inuit community. Link: This seems to be a traditional repsonse, in line with both Christain and Taliban repsonses to percieved competition. Comments?

Just as with any other religious or non-religious fringe group for that matter... the actions of a few do not speak for the majority. I do not worship the ancient Egyptian gods... however I can stand in awe at the artistry and craftsmanship of the statues that remain today. Remeber friend... not everything that is done in Gods name... is God ordained. Answered by PreacherTim63(SFECU) - Mon Aug 28 00:44:14 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "petroglyph" See also:
