Local archaeologist documents how sunlight aligns with petroglyphs on the equinox

On Sunday, the fall equinox ushered in a new season, and countless rock art panels near Moab lit up with corresponding displays of sunlight that one archaeologist has spent over 30 years documenting. Today, we look at a pictograph of a figure holding one end of a net. During the equinoxes, sunlight in the shape of a fang appears to hold the other end. We discuss with local archaeologist Rory Tyler, who has documented many of these astronomical connections around Moab. - Show Notes - • Moab Rock Art https://moabrockart.org/about-me/ • Photo: Sunlight in the shape of a fang appears to hold one end of the hunting net displayed in this pictograph.
