I saw a token of this event in the afternoon of my visit on 15th August 2009.
Two deliberately placed and shaped stones above the panels cast shadow daggers across different glyphs, pointing to different marks at key times of the year. A lot more information on this (and more generally) is at the website http://www.sinaguasunwatchers.com/vbarv.htm
Although I didn't witness a key event, to see these shadows appear and work their way across the petroglyphs (which were thrill enough in themselves), was a very memorable time. A random collection of visitors and a member or two of staff over the long period we were here seemed to convene a strong, warm, congenial spirit talking about what we were experiencing. |
