Petroglyphs


Puako Petroglyth Archaeological Park

Petroglyphs date as far back as the first settlers on the Hawaiian Islands, in the 4th century AD. They were the earliest written forms of communication with the gods, the spirits, and with fellow travelers and viewers. These figures were carved on the smooth pahoehoe lava on the Kohala Coast.
