Kawaiisu Pictographs, Petroglyphs and Geoglyphs can be found from Death Valley to the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara.
Each of the paintings you are looking at can be found in one cave. These pictographs are describing specific information or data. I have been videotaping pictograph and petroglyph solar and lunar calendars for the past fifteen years. I will soon finish a documentary which will begin to translate the scientific data Native Americans have collected for 56,000 years.
This image shows part of a petroglyph lunar calendar.
