I’m from Southern Indiana and have posted in the past about the stones in my backyard which I know have old art on them but have never been able to get anyone to see what I’m talking about, so I have used colored pencils to kinda outline what I have been seeing and maybe someone would have an idea of what type of art this is. I tried tracing the fading outlines of what didn’t fade away to the past completely. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Don't know if it's art, or natural, but no matter...that's some cool stones! :occasion14:

That rock head is almost creepy...

Sorry, it is completely natural the images you think you are seeing are caused by pareidolia, your mind is trying to form recognizeable images to process.

Drawing on the rock only shows what your imagination sees, like ink blots everyone sees something different.

the reason no one can see them is because they are not there. You have creek stained sandstone, and chunks of broken rock. 4000 years ago folk could make the pyramids using hand tools and sweat (and beer it seems) (beer, what can't it do).... If you had anything for real, you wouldn't have to ask.... it would be obvious.

Sorry. I'm not seeing. But those drawings of the zodiac constellations on sky maps? I don't see them either.
