70 Unknown Prehistoric Petroglyphs Discovered in Hawaii

MessageToEagle.com – The unusually strong seasonal winter swells has just exposed somewhat forgotten art rock that covers the lava rock along Oahu’s North Shore of Pupukea Beach, Hawaii.

The true meanings of the petroglyphs are unknown but it is generally believed that these carvings are records of a variety of the most significant events in the lives of the people who lived on the island very long time ago.

More than 70 large glyphs have been exposed, mostly depicting human-like figures and dogs, according to the Historic Hawaii Foundation, whose workers are documenting the images.
