Tataviam Pictograph Site
Tataviam Pictograph Site submitted by mfrincu : Pictograph depicting a snake in the Vasquez Rocks park. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The site is located within the Vasquez Rocks State Park just 50 minutes north of Los Angeles. It contains few red, white, and black pictographs depicting humans, spirits, animals and the Sun and stars. The site was inhabited by the Tataviam natives and you can still see the grinding bowls carved into the stones. They date back as far as 450 A.D.

The pictographs are possibly exact replicas of the originals which some say are located in a remote location undisclosed for their protection. The original site was closed in 1996. The snake pictograph symbolizes the guardian of the settlement which a friend from Sri Lanka told me is very similar with their beliefs in cobras as sacred guardians of important places.
