Abstract:
Humans have always tried to express their inner opinions and feelings and have done this challenge either through verbal expression or through visual media. Presenting opinions and emotions is sometimes done through stone inscriptions and flower inscriptions, and sometimes it is done by figures, petroglyphs and other media. Apart from the two big deserts of Lut Desert and Central Desert and the forests of Mazandaran Sea, there are hardly any places in Iran where petroglyphs have not been reported. Sometimes these images in a limited area do not even reach the number of fingers of one hand, and in another area, such as a flood, they reach tens of thousands and possibly more. The underwater paintings were all executed in the open space and it can be said that all of them are fixed and in their original place, and no color painting has been observed among them. Due to their large number, the motifs have a variety of motifs, but most of them are made up of goats and sheep.
