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. how would I go about doing that? anthropogo, thank you this is the type of info i was looking for Asked by friskygimp - Mon Oct 8 13:25:50 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. You should start with a nice piece of stone and the right tools. If you want to do the work by hand, try a chisel and hammer to start with. If you want to get the work done faster with fewer blisters, a small air hammer would be nice. You might want a good marker to trace out designs before you carve too. Be sure to wear a mask over your nose and mouth so you don't inhale the stone dust, and wear comfortable safety goggles to protect your eyes from sharp stone chips. Sounds like a fun project.
