Since yesterday I was busier guiding people on tour visiting the Archaeological's sites and the tourist spots. Henrique and Silvanne is a nice couple from Rio Grande do Sul State, they came to Rio Grande do Norte, in particular they are visiting the Region of Seridó, and so far, they are enchanted with our hospitality and hospitality, the way of life of people in the countryside of Rio Grande do Norte. Check out the pictures, I'm sure they enjoyed a lot. Yesterday we went to visit the archaeological's sites Xique-Xique I, II, and IV, as well after we had lunch we went to visit Talhado do Gavião.

After climbing up and going down the mountain, finally they arrived on top of Piaui, check out the pictures bellow.  

Definition of the vocabulary Petroglyphs: Source: Wikipedia

Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are pictogram and logogram images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, and abrading. Outside North America, scholars often use terms such as "carving", "engraving", or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images. Petroglyphs are found world-wide, and are often (but not always) associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning "stone" and glyphein meaning "to carve", and was originally coined in French as pétroglyphe.

The term petroglyph should not be confused with pictograph, which is an image drawn or painted on a rock face. Both types of image belong to the wider and more general category of rock art and Petroforms, or patterns and shapes made by many large rocks and boulders over the ground, are also quite different. Inukshuks are also unique, and found only in the Arctic (except for reproductions and imitations built in more southerly latitudes).
