The so-called anthropomorphic style is the most characteristic for the regions at Utah in North America. It is unique in the world. It is difficult to find such a compact complex of anthropomorphic representation on other continents. The famous Palaeolithic rock art galleries in Europe depict mainly animals.

A lot of drawing in the tradition of anthropomorphic - depicting people - rock art in the region of eastern Utah during the archaic period most likely present shamans during their journey to the afterlife, surrounded by helping spirits in the form of various animals, or during the characteristic for shamanism phenomenon of transformation of human into animal, 

explained archaeologist Julita Rękawek.
Rock art generally dated to the late archaic period, i.e. 2000 BC - 300 AD according to Julita Rękawek, however there are theories of much older roots of this art, based on stylistic similarities with clay anthropomorphic figurines, dating back even to 6th millennium BC, added the archaeologist.
Ethnographic studies showed that the local population had attributed supernatural powers to this mineral, it was even called a `shaman rock´. See more: pap.pl.
Here goes my comments:
The astral world is still the same-looking animal symbols to be interpreted through.
21 century man will make it: he remakes the close word limit, to see and deal with a very fine-grained material to the world´s the lowest `immaterial´ level., I'm sure.
