    #Epstein had #petroglyphs moved for décor at #ZorroRanch, federal records show

    By Clara Bates, Mar 3, 2026

    "Over the years at Zorro Ranch, Jeffrey Epstein instructed his staff multiple times to move petroglyphs estimated to be hundreds of years old for the purpose of decoration, U.S. Justice Department emails and photos released in January show.

    " 'Petroglyph rocks moved to the main house,' a Zorro property manager wrote in a 2001 project memo emailed to Epstein, noting 'JE to let us know the size, location and how many rocks he would like.'

    " 'Jeff to find larger rocks,' the manager wrote a few days later.

    "In a 2014 email to former Microsoft executive and paleontological researcher Nathan Myhrvold, Epstein asked, 'how do i cut and polish … the granite with petroglyphs on the ranch?'

    "Myhrvold didn't respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

    "When the ranch manager was designing planter beds the following year and asked Epstein whether he would be OK with rocks in one section, Epstein responded with a request: 'yes„ nice it would be great to get some big ones with petroglyphs even better.' (The email quotes in this story are verbatim, including typos.)

    "The following year, Epstein requested 'large petroglyphs' be included in another outside design.

    " 'The destruction and removal of petroglyphs and #CulturalSites at Zorro Ranch is deeply troubling, yet not surprising considering what has come to light about Jeffrey Epstein,' #JoeySanchez, chair of the All Pueblo Council of Governors, said in a statement. 'These sites hold profound significance as part of the living history of the #Pueblos across the Southwest, reflecting the enduring connection between our people and the land."

  4. Unos 5000 petroglifos cubren los cañones de Tamgaly, Kazajistán. Aunque la mayoría son de la Edad del Bronce, seguían incluyéndose más en la Edad Media. Esto ha provocado que los más nuevos tapen a los antiguos.📸Sergei Volkov/Kiwiodysee #petroglifos #petroglyphs #kazajistan #kazakhstan #edaddelbronce #bronzeage

  6. The NPS has stabilized about a dozen rooms in #PuebloBonito that visitors can explore.

    The doors are all five feet or less, so be prepared to stoop!

    This was a great place to take 360 #Panoramas!

    Note that the artifact in the foreground in the first photo is a mortar stone, used to grind grain.
