Anyone here enjoy visiting and searching for ancestral sites? Some of the youtube people and blogs I watch are really into this kind of thing. I kind of get it, it's cool to see a nice petroglyph or pictograph or cliff dwelling and I always do some research to see if there are any good sites in areas I'm visiting. I'd love to find an arrowhead, that would definitely be cool. But I still always end up thinking that most of the ancestral stuff here is both not that old and not that impressive compared to what other old civilizations pretty much everywhere else in the world have left behind.
We (USA) have nothing that compares to the colosseum, the acropolis, the great pyramids, machu picchu, chichen itza, angkor wat, borobodur, terracotta army etc. Even the cave art in Europe is way more technically impressive and also tens of thousands of years older. I guess there's the angle that Native American stuff is interesting exactly because they were so primitive, it's like stepping way further back in time even though it's not actually that old. And for us Americans we're obviously more connected to this land and these people, and for many of us they're our direct ancestors, so naturally we'd be drawn to this stuff more.

Anyway post some cool petroglyphs or pictographs or ruins you've seen.
