BrainTek , We used to have some amazing petroglyphs on the college grounds at Palomar in Southern California near San Marcos. Right where the women would pound the corn and pine nuts in the stone holes. They were everywhere there was a granite boulder. Just holes everywhere and petroglyphs on the granite walls. Nobody knew what they meant. The last Indian died years ago who could translate, so sorry Charlie!

Australia does not have petroglyphs but rock paintings in caves and below overhanging rocks. The oldest being 17300 years old.
