Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are images An image is an artifact, for example a two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some subject—usually a physical object or a person created by removing part of a rock In geology, rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids 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 Prehistory is a term used to describe the period before recorded history. Paul Tournal originally coined the term Pré-historique in describing the finds he had made in the caves of southern France.[citation needed] It came into use in France in the 1830s to describe the time before writing, and the word "prehistoric" was introduced into peoples. The word comes from the Greek Greek , an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, is the language of the Greeks. Native to the southern Balkans, it has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning 34 centuries of written records. In its ancient form, it is the language of classical ancient Greek literature and the New Testament of words petros meaning "stone" and glyphein meaning "to carve" (it was originally coined in French French is a Romance language globally spoken by about 110 million people who speak French (native and first language speakers combined). Around 190 million people speak French as a second language, and an additional 200 million speak it as as an acquired foreign language.[citation needed] French speaking communities are present in 57 countries and as pétroglyphe).
The term petroglyph should not be confused with pictograph A pictograph is an ideogram that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object. Earliest examples of pictographs include ancient or prehistoric drawings or paintings found on rock walls. Pictographs are also used in writing and graphic systems in which the characters are to considerable extent pictorial in appearance, 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 In addition, petroforms and inukshuks are rock art made by aligning or piling natural stones. The stones themselves are used as large markings on the ground. Petroforms Petroforms, also known as boulder outlines or boulder mosaics, are human-made shapes and patterns of rocks on the open ground. Petroforms in North America were originally made by Indigenous Peoples, who used various terms to describe them. Petroforms can also include a rock cairn or inukshuk, an upright monolith slab, a medicine wheel, a fire pit,, or patterns and shapes made by many large rocks and boulders over the ground, are also quite different. Inukshuks An inuksuk (from the Inuktitut: ᐃᓄᒃᓱᒃ, plural ᐃᓄᒃᓱᐃᑦ; alternatively inukshuk in English or inukhuk in Inuinnaqtun) is a stone landmark or cairn built by humans, used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. These structures are found from Alaska to Greenland. This are also unique, and found only in the Arctic (except for reproductions and imitations built in more southerly latitudes).
