Bison man

An amazing pic by Mike Wilson of an amazing petroglyph from Utah, SW USA, depicting what???

Well, I think these are SW Monsoon "rain bombs"...

Which are symbolically depicted like this: A "mysterious" creature depicted on the rocks of North Eastern Arizona. Holbrook area. Pic by Mike Davenport...You can read more about this in my post "Rain cloud", in which I talk about rain bombs...And how (why) they look like corn knobs... 

The rain bomb dude is accompanied by a big horn sheep...Why? Well cause the rain bombs fall from the sky during the SW monsoon season, which overlaps with the big horn sheep mating season...I talked about this in my post "Alosaka", where I also talk about Alósaka/Muyingwa, two aspects of The Corn God of the Hopi pantheon: The God of Germination and The God of Growth (of corn). And why he has big horn sheep horns...

Here is another great pic, this time by Randy Langstraat, of another one of the rain bomb dudes and his pet horned snake with hands, spewing water...Why horned snake spewing water?

Well the horns are the horns of the big horn sheep, which is an animal calendar marker of the SW monsoon season...But why snake? Cause the SW monsoon season is also the time when snakes are most active...I talk about this in my post "Horned serpent"...

The SW monsoon season is also the time when rattle snakes dance...

Which is what snake dancers imitate...

In order to bring rain...

I talked about this in my post "Snake dance"...

Ok so we can explain everyone on the original pic, except this dude? Who is this dude? Who (what) does he represent?

His horns don't look like big horned sheep horns

or pronghorn antelope horns (equivalent animal calendar marker). 

Both are found in SW Indian rain related mythology and petroglyphs cause they mate during the SW monsoon season, Jul-Sep...

There is another animal, which originally lived from Canada to Mexico...American bison. 

Check the horns and tail. And guess what: Male and female herds usually do not mingle until the breeding season, which can occur from July through September...

Which is when the snake dance and the rain bombs freak the shit out of the local SW USA Indian corn farmers...Enough for them to deify them...

So I think we have just, by chance, discovered another animal calendar marker...

That's it. To read more about ancient animal and plant calendar markers, start here…Then check my twitter threads I still didn't convert to blog post...I am way way behind...
