The petroglyphs in this image are apparently completely fake.  At the time of this visit we thought the images had been vandalized but did not know they were not authentic.  They were created in a similar technique as would have been done by Ancestral Puebloans and look quite legitimate but in fact are only a few years old. This graffiti can be seen in the previous image in the lower right on a high shelf.
