Strange Petroglyphs In Utah Where You See Severed Heads
Haunted Petroglyphs That Portray Decapitation
Desert Drifter makes videos for You Tube in the southwest. In one of his posts, he visits a graphic panel of petroglyphs found in Utah on private land. The rock art shows large figures ornately drawn with impressive detail portraying their clothing and ornaments. That isn’t all it shows.
In several of the panels the figures are holding severed heads. Some look like they are clutching the hair or dangling it from ropes. It looks like they are displaying the heads as trophies. One panel even shows severed legs.
What People Drew the Petroglyphs?
Experts who have studied the panels say they are the work of the Fremont people. This group inhabited the central part of Utah and were known to farm and hunt. At one point they disappeared, and it is not clear why. They may have left the area or been absorbed by other groups.
There are scholars who have found possible cannibalism at sites of early peoples who lived in Utah. These petroglyphs with all the severed heads might be related to what these scholars have found. Others disagree with these findings.
