We continue to receive a lot of emails and pictures of rock art and face effigies from people around the world who find these things. There’s always pessimists who say “they’re just rocks,” yet countless people who are passionate about these being ancient, intentional artifacts that had been manipulated by human hands. Your thoughts? Do a search for “Artsology rock art” and you’ll see what’s going on. #rockart #stone #faceeffigy #foundart #rocks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5TzMTsDWT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
