Centuries-Old Hawaiian Petroglyphs Now Visible on Oahu

Centuries-Old Hawaiian Petroglyphs Now Visible on Oahu

Imagine ancient drawings, like stick figures, carved into rocks by people who lived in Hawaii hundreds of years ago.

These drawings, called petroglyphs, are now visible again on a beach because the ocean waves washed away the sand.

A man named Glen, who knows a lot about the area's history, thinks the drawings are a message from his ancestors.

The drawings show stories of their lives.

The Army is also involved because the petroglyphs are near their land, and they are trying to protect the drawings while letting people see them.

It's like getting a peek into the past!
