My two cents on this topic: The pictures are not detailed enough, it's essentially a rorschach test.
Also, there appears to be more than one generation of petroglyphs, in the first link (of copied material); the panel on the left appears to be a much later generation than the stick-figure petroglyphs to the right. So the flying-fish-rocket thing could possibly be only a few hundred years old. Just like in Petroglyphs in the American southwest, crosses were added by spanish explorers and missionaries a few hundred years ago to the classic southwest petros. -Yinan On Mon, Sep 5, 2011 at 7:48 AM, karmaka <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear list members, > > I think I've found pictures of the real petroglyphs in Chifeng, Inner > Mongolia/Northern China > > http://img.blog.cntv.cn/attachments/2011/08/10726716_201108290543391.jpg > > http://img.blog.cntv.cn/attachments/2011/08/10726716_201108290540581.jpg > http://img.blog.cntv.cn/attachments/2011/08/10726716_201108290548551.jpg > > in this Chinese blog (cntv.cn): > > (machine-translated from Chinese) > > http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.cntv.cn%2F10726716-2619901.html[http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.cntv.cn%2F10726716-2619901.html] > > This is another webpage about the petroglyphs from July 2010: > > http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.de&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http://blog.cntv.cn/10726716-1290534.html[http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.de&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http://blog.cntv.cn/10726716-1290534.html] > > I'd like to know what you think about the interpretation of the petroglyphs? > > It's sometimes hard to understand the machine-translated English text, though. > > Is there a Chinese speaking list member who could let us know if the > translation is more or less accurate? > > Best wishes > > Martin > > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: karmaka <[email protected]> > Gesendet: 27.08.2011 23:01:59 > An: [email protected] > Betreff: Re: [meteorite-list] Ancient Chinese imapct > >>Hi E.P. and list, >> >>The picture used in the article does show petroglyphs from Irkutsk in Russia. >>Thus it was used only for illustration purposes >> >>http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazetairkutsk.ru%2F2010%2F09%2F02%2Fid21881%2F >> >>http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Frus.ruvr.ru%2F2010%2F10%2F21%2F27398750.html >> >>I would like to see the real ones from . >> >>Best wishes >> >>Martin >> >> >>-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >>Von: "E.P.
