Script in Utah

I tell you, those great basin petroglyphs with shadowy figures looming in every picture: those are a writing system - you can tell from the way the pictures are embellished with bits of other symbols. 

There was one with a picture of a person's intestines. To the left a cactus, to the right a hornet. Seems like a good place to start trying to understand. It seems obvious that it is a medical instruction.
