The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.... The most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.

This one is old and therefor a bit hard to see from certain angles. I can say it is old because it has brown desert varnish developing on it--and that process takes hundreds of years. I think the older #Petroglyphs in this area have been dated to ~800 years ago.
That said it is spectacular! It shows a humanoid form with a great winged headdress or helmet.
