Face Mask petroglyphs from Asia to Pacific Northwest

This classic well document over five hundred pictures in this region and report what they see with the local tribes. There are many faces craving, very similar to that of China. Professor Yaoliang Song, a Chinese authority in Chinese rock art made such connection in his English and Chinese presentation papers. On page 234, this book mentioned: petroglyphs were an extension of that of Northeast Asia. That may imply that Chinese shaman came to America either by land or boat and left their masterpieces for posterity to read and understand. On page 243, there was a Thunderbird petroglyph. In Chinese myth, thunder came out from a large bird, a strong cultural influence. The cover of this book shows a petroglyph outline of a Chinese dragon in side view. It is obvious of Native Americans culture was a result of diffusion. It may motive readers to do more research.
