Rock Art in The Northwest Mountains
Valley of the Shields is the largest polychrome pictograph site in North America with 110 panels discovered so far. It is the Pryor Mountains in Carbon County, Montana. According to Leon Secatero, a Navajo Elder, this glyph named Changing of the Worlds is read from right to left and represents the story of the first three worlds. The Fourth and Fifth World are in order below and on the next panel. http://www.galacticfacets.com/ancient-pictographs.html
