The region is a geological wonderland of uncanny rock formations lapped by orange dunes. Eons of erosion have sharpened the sandstone into pinnacles, worn apertures through high escarpments, and sculpted outcrops into surreal and zoomorphic forms. The park is thought to contain over 300 natural arches alone. | The region is a geological wonderland of uncanny rock formations lapped by orange dunes.

=====PREHISTORIC ART IN EUROPE: A DEEP-TIME SOCIAL HISTORY===== | |||
[https://www.jstor.org/stable/24712796 by John Robb 10/15 JSTOR] | |||
Although many researchers have studied prehistoric European art, there has been virtually no attention paid to the broad prehistory of art as a specialized form of material culture; virtually all studies focus narrowly on single bodies of art. This paper presents a new approach to analyzing prehistoric art: quantitative deep time study. It analyzes a database of 211 art traditions from across Europe and from 40,000 B.C. to 0 A.D. to identify changes in the amount, nature, and use of prehistoric art. | |||
