Feature representations of winged or flying human figures. Despite being separated by extensive geographical distances, their presence in disparate locations raises questions about potential cultural interactions or shared symbolism.
The dating for these petroglyphs indicates significant historical value: approximately 7,000 years in Japan, between 1,000 and 2,000 years in Utah, and up to 10,000 years in Azerbaijan. Such motifs across these diverse regions suggest the possibility of a common mythological framework or analogous beliefs regarding winged beings among these ancient societies. This raises the question of whether these cultures independently developed similar iconographies or if they were influenced by interactions across vast distances.
This phenomenon warrants careful scholarly examination to understand the implications for our comprehension of ancient human beliefs and their expressions in art.
