Art has adorned the natural walls, cliffs and holy places of prehistoric man long before buildings were even
conceived of. Rock art is still being found today through out all parts of the world. Many of these sacred places are
purposely kept secret to protect them from the public.The meanings of the symbols and icons found on these rocks,
for the most part, has been lost in time. This does not lessen the power of these primitive picture messages however...
In fact... the mystery is only deepened ten fold.
