Ancient Rock Art At Risk Of Vandalism And Destruction

BISHOP, CALIFORNIA - MAY 13: In an aerial view, ancient petroglyphs, including an image of a bighorn sheep, are seen on May 13, 2024 near Bishop, California. Sacred indigenous rock art sites in the region have been increasingly subject to chiseling, graffiti, target shooting, theft using stone cutting saws, and outright site destruction. The petroglyphs range from 3,000 to as old as 12,000 years old, near the end of the Pleistocene, or Ice Age, when glaciers and volcanoes dominated much of the landscape and many animals in the region, such as mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, saber-toothed cats, American lions, dire wolfs, camels, and giant armadillos, were becoming extinct.
