Sego Canyon Petroglyphs and Ghost Town in 4K

Sego Canyon, in east central Utah, 5 miles north of the town of Thompson Springs along I-70 has seen human habitation for thousands of years. The first peoples, known as the Barrier Canyon Indians, were present in the larger area since about 6000BC or 8000 years, but its thought they first inhabited Sego Canyon about 4000 years ago or perhaps a bit longer or shorter. The artwork left by these people is characterized by larger than life anthropomorphic figures with large bug like eyes, antennae, earings, snakes in there hands, and often legs-less torsos. Many of these ghost-like figures are believed to be shamanistic in nature. The Barrier Canyon era ended about 100BC. After the Barrier Canyon Indians there was another period of habitation, from about 600AD to 1250AD, by the Fremont Indians. The Fremont Indians began to cultivate corn/maze and perhaps other crops, lived in partially underground structures known as pithouses or houses on the surface made from stone, and had a more complex social structure. There artwork featured geometric figures, often trapezoidal for the head and body, and was done in a pecking style. However, in one of the panels, just above these trapezoidal figures, are a row of ghostly painted figures of an entirely different style yet believed to be part of the Fremont era. The last period of Indian habitation was by the Ute Indians and this period dates from 1300AB to 1880AD at which point the European peoples (White man) forced them onto reservations ending there presence in Sego. The artwork of the Ute's is notable for the inclusion of horses, brought to American by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. Other features common to the Ute artwork are circular features believed to represent battle shields. The juxtaposition of horses and battles shields say something about the fate of the Ute's. After the whiteman pushed the Indians off the land and onto reservations they discovered a deposit of high quality coal and as the railroad, then using steam, was just 5 miles down the canyon at Thompson Springs, the coal was in high demand. Ultimately the railroad switched to diesel in the 1940's and the need for coal went away as did the town. Some structure were carted off elsewhere while others have been left for nature to dispose of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sego,_Utah http://scienceviews.com/indian/segoca... http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancien... http://climb-utah.com/Moab/sego.htm https://www.legendsofamerica.com/ut-s... http://photos.legendsofamerica.com/se...
