Hiya,
Yep, many of the rockart places on Earth have sky knowledge references. In the Americas most indigenous languages have a specific word for sky knowledge, and inscripted record places were called by that word or combination of words for traditional knowledge purposes.
The dates of teh inscriptions correspond to events and star placement in the timeperiod. Many in the Americas go back tens of thousands of years, so teh European and other areas reflect teh same things.
Most notably is teh design of teh 8 point grid or "window." Whether in lines on the north west or east wall or in cup/cup and ring on teh ground designs (generally in rows pointing NNE,) the grid symbolizes the big dipper formation...pror to a supernova that created teh dual star system in today's "handle." That star knowledge is mighty old.
This si teh kind of work that will help peole understand the rock inscriptions world wide, since we are all under teh same sky and celestial events. It will be interesting to addin the rockart designs in places that are now desert and have not been inhabited for thousands of years to see what people were up to.
please forgive the spelling
Cordially,
Deb Huglin
