Gold Butte Petroglyphs
Age of the petroglyphs in gold butte national monument?
The "falling man" petroglyphs are a set of prehistoric rock art images found in Gold Butte National Monument in southern Nevada. These petroglyphs depict a figure falling or descending, often with arms outstretched, and are believed to have been created by the early inhabitants of the region, likely the Paiute or Moapa people.
The exact meaning of the falling man petroglyphs is not clear, as there are no written records from the time they were created. However, some researchers have speculated that the images could be representations of shamanic journeys or visions, or perhaps depict a hunting or ceremonial ritual.
The petroglyphs are located in a remote and rugged part of the Gold Butte area, and reaching them requires a challenging hike. They are considered sacred to local Native American tribes and are protected by federal law.
It's important to note that while the petroglyphs are a fascinating part of the history and culture of the area, visitors to Gold Butte should always respect and protect these ancient artifacts by not touching, defacing, or damaging them in any way.

Sensei Lorenzo's Ghost Story
I waited for this all night. The Falling man in the starry sky. I forgot my head light that night so I sat in the dark as the desert rats tried to eat the food outta my bag.
I bought a turkey sandwich from 7 eleven. Rats swarmed my food. I didn’t regret round house kicking a few of them, but when I realize I was on a cliff I stopped trying to play hero. Turns out rats come in groups.
It was quiet. Eerie quiet, as we waited we thought we saw lights walking up towards us then these people disappeared. Within seconds. I was more scared of dropping my camera then ghost that night.
Bats started flying over my head, and rats started moving all over the canyon rocks near my feet. My hiker guide laughed at me as I started freaking out at the sight of animals. Saying how a Sensei could be so afraid of small animals. I felt like I was in a Castlevania 
video game and my camera was my weapon. As I used my tripod as a rod to yell at the animals attacking my bag. It was quite dramatic.
Rats kept climbing on me as I layed down to get the shot. I had to lay completely still as rats continued to feed on my food on my body and bag. I had to take the shot several times. They seemed really hungry so as long as I got the shot I didn’t care at this point.
Still. Hold the shot. Wind getting in my eye. Rats are kinda cute just for a few seconds. ” CLICK “.
This was the result.
