Overview
Nothing like it has been seen before! Here you will find. pictures created by women artists near the end of the Pleistocene Era. Sasquatch/Bigfoot Neighbors! Hunting on Horseback and Camelback! Carving a Mammoth! Snake Goddess! Footwear Patterns for Humans and Sasquatch! Party Time! The images in this book are from my book Mammoth Hunters in Oklahoma, newly discovered little walls of rock art. The rocks are from my yard. A landscaper delivered small decorative rocks to cover my new french drains. Among them I found 100 or more artifacts carved and/or painted. Then I discovered a 12-inch mammoth sculpture weighing 33 pounds in my yard. It was covered with tiny images and scenes. With so many images of mammoth profiles in the rocks, I discerned they must have been carved during the Ice Age, before 12,900 years ago. I realized much of the art work was done by women based on their subject matter—sewing, clothing, children, food, and community. The woman on the cover is wearing a jeweler's loupe on one eye as she sits in my yard creating tiny images on the mammoth sculpture.
Description
The images in this book are from my book Mammoth Hunters in Oklahoma, newly discovered little walls of rock art. The rocks are from my yard. A landscaper delivered small decorative rocks to cover my new french drains. Among them I found 100 or more artifacts carved and/or painted. Then I discovered a 12-inch mammoth sculpture weighing 33 pounds in my yard. It was covered with tiny images and scenes. With so many images of mammoth profiles in the rocks, I discerned they must have been carved during the Ice Age some time before the Younger Dryas comet fragments impact of 12,900 years ago. These fragments caused wide-spread destruction by mega explosions and wildfires which devastated animal and human populations and even incinerated their bones. One of the fragments hit the Bull Creek, Oklahoma, area, near Tulsa and Bartlesville, most likely wiping out the community the creators of the artwork. I realized much of the art was created by women based on their subject matter—sewing, clothing, children, food, and community. The woman on the cover is wearing a jeweler's loupe on one eye as she sits in my yard creating tiny images on the mammoth sculpture. She also has a brush or knife behind her ear, similar to where some people today may stash their pencil while working.
