The Long-Ago Shamans of Death Valley: Vision Quests and Magical Rites

death-valley.jpg

The shamanic ground markings of Death Valley tend to be found in the more remote parts of this already remote region
– probably the reason why any trace of them survives at all. They are ritual and magical features left by long-ago shamans, probably of the ancestral Pima and Shoshone peoples, and they are fragile, so much so that their precise locations are not advertised. Indeed, only a few archaeologists have visited them, and then only rarely. I had to work from what I had been able to gather from obscure sources and personal guidance to find any of them, and so I quite often found myself standing at features I knew no one had seen for many years, possibly for decades. | Ancient Origins

Your Say

Maybe. From what I've read and heard it's best to take any interpretation of a Death Valley phenomenon with a grain of salt.
