What is Reddit's opinion of The Rock Art of Texas Indians?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This is Myers Springs, a rock art site in far west Texas. Trans-Pecos Texas and northern Mexico just across the Rio Grande has a fascinating and well-researched tradition of ancient rock art, far more than I have time to detail (more about Lower Pecos Rock Art.)

Back to Myers Springs: This site is well-known and sometimes included in Rock Art tours from SHUMLA and the Witte Museum in San Antonio. If you look at the photos you'll see a lot of overpainting and faded art underneath the most recent, brightly colored paintings. The rock art at Myers Springs dates back to the Lower Pecos Style (roughly 3500 YA), but the site is most famous for its historic era rock art dating from the 1600-1700s.

In the foreground of Image 1 you can see two figures on horseback, probably Native due to the headdress. In Image 3 you see another view of the horsemen, with a truly delightful "Zia sun symbol" in the center. This circle with clusters of four rays in the cardinal directions is on the New Mexico State flag and was adapted/appropriated from a traditional religious motif used by Zia Pueblo, northwest of Albuquerque. The symbol was not exclusive to Zia, but it is a Puebloan design, and I'm pointing it out here to show that this rock art site in West Texas has some striking symbology from cultures that are now 500 miles to the north. Image 5 also shows a closeup of the sun symbol.

On the full album, the sixth photo has an image of a Catholic church, overlain by an Anglo name "W. S. Dassell", likely from the late 1800s. The ninth image shows a long panel with what appears to be robed priests, Christian crosses and churches, and what could be a line of dancers or warriors (or both). This historic linear red style is found in other Trans-Pecos historic rock art sites and shows influences from the Plains tribes. The Plains style includes influences from the "Plains biographical art style" painted on rock art and bison robes, which showed stories in a rather linear, narrative flow.

In the 1930s, Forrest Kirkland, an artist and researcher, travelled throughout the Trans-Pecos painting records of Native rock art. You can see his rendering of this long panel in this article, which includes a number of details not visible today.

For more information on Trans-Pecos Texas art, I highly recommend exploring texasbeyondhistory.net, as well as The Rock Art of Texas Indians (dated but a classic, great illustrations) and The White Shaman Mural (explores religious traditions behind a much older style of Trans-Pecos Art.)
