Newspaper Rock – Tse’ Hane’ (Navaho for “rock that tells a story”)
“Newspaper Rock is a petroglyph panel etched in sandstone that records approximately 2,000 years of early man’s activities. Prehistoric peoples, probably from the Archaic, Basketmaker, Fremont and Pueblo cultures, etched on the rock from B.C. time to A.D. 1300.” Scholars have not yet been able to interpret the meaning of these figures.
That being said, I WONDER what story this rock has to tell!
Some other interpretations of “wonder”:

I really love what you have made out of the Newspaper Rock. I tried to photograph it earlier this year – and got nothing. Very well done. I really like the richness of tones and how well the petroglyphs stand out. And I like the way to framed it.
This is an awesome photo
I wonder too! : )
Fascinating and truly wonderful! I travelled to Utah this summer but missed this canyon. We will be back, there are so many places to visit in Utah.
that is amazing!

Wow, sharp intake of breath from me! so much world and not enough time to see it all!
Dear Fergiemoto, I have nominated your blog for The Versatile Blogger Award. Your blog has really been an inspiration. If you visit the link you can find the details.
wow – that is fabulous
Love the perspective ~ great photo!
I sit here and stare and stare at the petroglyph trying to figure out the message(s)…I think it was their to do list 🙂
I bet it would have a story to tell. Not only what has been written on it, but what other perceive it says.
How cool is that? I love these photo challenges because of the new things I see and learn. It is fun meeting people too. It is a great capture for the wonder challenge!
So do I….
Now, I am wondering what those tiny figures meant. True wonder I must say.
Very cool
Unusual, great photo for the challenge.
Interesting find and would you happen to know the story behind it?
What a great picture… That rock looks as if it has lots of stories to tell… but I think that it’s even better at keeping secrets than telling them…
Maybe it is a wish-list?
The photo is wonderful: it makes you studying all those little images.
There are so many amazing places in our world..discovered and still undiscovered. Thankyou for showing me this wonder…we all should share something unique from our side of the world with each other. A simplicitic world! A peaceful world!
What a brilliant entry! Canyonlands National Park looks like a wonderful, magical place. Have to add a visit to my bucket list.
“Ancient secrecies” : JUST LOVE THAT PHRASE. It will sing to me all week, no doubt!
This is so interesting!
I wonder what it says. I like the fact that there are still unknowns to decipher in this world.

certainly looks more interesting than this week’s headlines ;-).
thanks a million for sharing!
I am a fantasy action adventure writer. I see something like this amazing rock and the creative thoughts begin to flow. I start to think, how can I use this in one of my stories. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow! It’a a whole book!
I have also wondered if the paintings we see on rocks are just doodles. Something that passed the time on a boring day.
Terrific photo, and what an amazing spot.
We visited Newspaper Rock earlier this year during a time when the Arizona desert was green and alive with plants and flowers that covered hills and sang their ancient song to a sun filled sky. We looked through the telescope at the visitor’s turn off and were fascinated looking at a time long since spun into ancient history, but this photo is amazing. It gives us a look at the hieroglyphs that is much deeper than can be seen from the distance. Ancient secrecies! A great haiku too.
Amazing picture!
These engravings have such a deep meaning… as if they have a story to tell.
It would be interesting to be able to translate the inscriptions!
