\/><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>At the beginning of our hike, we will drive on 4&#215;4 cars to the place where ancient Armenian petroglyphs have been preserved. Petroglyphs are images created by removing part of a rock surfaces by incising, pecking, carving, and abrading. The word petroglyph comes from the Greek words <em>petros<\/em>\u00a0meaning \u201cstone\u201d and\u00a0<em>glyphein\u00a0<\/em>meaning \u201cto carve\u201d. \u00a0Some petroglyphs seem to depict real events whilst many other examples are apparently entirely abstract. Some theories hold that they may have been a way of transmitting information, while other theories ascribe them a\u00a0religious\u00a0or ceremonial purpose.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30378\"
