‘Holy Ghost panel’ at Great Gallery, Horseshoe Canyon, Utah, USA. Probably dating from about 700 CE

Are you sure 700 CE?

That's the info listed. We're talking CE as in common era, so 1300 years ago. Sounds reasonable?

In terms of the painting technique, yes, sure. But in terms of the painting referencing a Christian theme, ¿how could people living in Utah know about it at that time? It's intriguing.
Then again, my interpretation of the painting could be wrong. Thank you!

I didn't see it as Christian at all, but maybe that's because I'm not. The word "holy" doesn't imply any specific religion, not does "ghost."

Oh, I see. Well, the most probable explanation is that my interpretation was wrong. Thanks, again! ☺️
