SPIRIT IN THE STONE, by Joy Inglis, offers a worldwide background for rock carvings, called Petroglyphs, in art and religion.
Mysterious and impressive, the art of the petroglyph has intrigued people around the world. Petroglyphs played an important role in the rituals and ceremonies of Shamanism - the religion of many early cultures.
DID YOU KNOW? Petroglyphs are images carved on a rock face. The word comes from the Greek petra, meaning stone, and glyphe, meaning carving. Rock carvings and paintings are found throughout the inhabited world. In British Columbia alone, over 500 examples of this type of archaeological site have been recorded, more than in any other province in Canada.
