Prehistoric Curious Petroglyphs From Sinaloa, Mexico

A.Sutherland  – MessageToEagle.com – A large number of beautiful petroglyphs known as Las Labradas have been found on a beach in the vicinity of Barras de Piaxtla, a small fishing village, north of Mazatlan in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

Little is known of Sinaloa’s early history but it is known that Las Labradas petroglyphs’ area is a very ancient and sacred site to the coastal Indians of the area.

Sinaloa’s rocks covered with a variety of figures are true history rocks, a legacy of mythological traditions with roots in the Pre-columbian times of North America.

Many of the carvings suffered significant damage due to weather and water over the centuries.

Remarkably, natural erosion hasn’t been destructive enough to erase all the ancient testimonies left by the ancients for future generations.

It’s still quite easy to recognize many anthropomorphic, zoomorphic or geometric forms that represent solar phenomena expressed with lines, dots, ancient spirals, and figures.

According to the archaeologist Bernardo Ortiz, numerous petroglyphs in Sinaloa are ornamented with images that can be associated with extraterrestrials.

Many cultures left similar carvings around the world and Sinaloa’s prehistoric region is one of them.

The groups belonging to Aztatlán culture, Sinaloa, México, and living along rivers of Sinaloa left these ancient carvings (image below).

Perhaps these people also recorded their prehistoric testimonies on other rocks discovered in several places in Sinaloa.

In 1942, Manuel Bonilla (1867 – 1957), a scholar and one of few, who described intriguing petroglyphs of Sinaloa, in his book “De Atlatlán a México” (From Atlatlán to Mexico) said that these relics constitute a very important key to the history of prehistoric peoples of Mexico.
