Albuquerque, New Mexico,  USA, Oct 1, 2021: designs and symbols carved on Volcanic Rocks in Petroglyph National Monument.
Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument, located in southeastern Utah close to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, has sandstone rock faces covered with petroglyphs drawn over 2,000 years ago by Anasazi, Pueblo and Archaic Native Americans.  The drawings consist of peoples, animals and symbols and were created in the desert varnish that builds up on the walls of the sandstone when iron and manganese from rainfall and bacteria are deposited.

Driekopseiland (Island) is a rock engraving site located in the bed of the Riet River near Plooysburg, close to Kimberley, Northern Cape, South Africa. At this site, nearly 4,000 exposed individual engravings are carved into glaciated basement rock.

The engravings at Driekopseiland are associated with cultural rituals and more specifically with puberty rites,
