Dinner at 5

Imagine a world where any animal within your visual range would be considered dinner....and your career was to make certain you could catch them on a continual basis. This antelope roamed the small canyons of northern Nevada sometime perhaps during the First Dynasty of Egypt. This specific glyph may have been used as a hunting instructional tool....or a prayer for more to show up....or as a marker for the next migrating hunting clan to learn what game is known to frequent the canyon. The symbol above the antelope is a mystery. The indigenous peoples as well as the petroglyph experts can only speculate on the meaning: water, time, distance, ownership, tribal marking, and weather conditions all represent valid assumptions.
