Question

What was rock art and did it tell a story?

Answer 1

Petroglyphs.  Associated with "aboriginal" cultures, usually.  This writing/pictures dealt with the mythology of a given people.  Often there was a tribal history indicating the deities associated with the given group plus major events in the group history.

Too, stories relating to important activities such as hunting, marriages, and tribal rites, generally, were memorialized.

There are examples of these "histories" all over the planet, from many ancient cultures.
