  • Summary

  • Rock art is one of those things that just captivates your attention. The ancient carvings, drawings, and paintings tell a story. Sometimes we can interpret what that story is and sometimes we can't. World renowned rock art expert, Dr. Alan Garfinkel joins APN founder Chris Webster and a cast of expert guests to talk about rock art: what is it, how do we know how old it is, who made it, and much more. Join us as we take you on a journey through space and time via pictures on rock.

I'm so glad I found this podcast!

I've been obsessed with rock art for the past several years. It I was so happy when Audible made this a "suggestion" for me. I love it! OK, some episodes are more closely aligned with my personal interests than others, but it's so educational, yet lively. Two thumbs up--5 stars, and all that positive recommendation!

To much Christianity in the interpretation of the subject.

The interpretation of the rock art should not contain that much details of Christianity. It takes away the magnificent similarities of human society and how it works over time and space.
