There are only so many simple shapes to carve in rocks, and all cultures across the earth carved ones that resembled each other's. Over times they developed into more complex and culturally unique versions (such as the Hindu/middle eastern style compared to Slavic or Celtic style embellishments).
Jung's (and others I can't recall names of) theories on this relate to these shapes and symbols either being related to our collective unconscious or to shapes that are naturally formed in dreams and trance states by the way the human mind functions. Anyone who has ever rolled or tripped with heavy visuals has probably seen spirals and other common geometric shapes appear, he'll you can even do this by closing your eyes, lightly pressing on your eyelids and keeping your eye muscles very still. After a short time dots, tunnels and geometric shapes will appear.
Another very compelling and fascinating tale on petroglyphs found across the globe is presented by Anthony Peratt here and I highly recommend watching this lecture! It is not some random YouTube moron, this is a highly accomplished physicist from Los Alamos presenting to a University conference.
(((Casting aspersions on the person rather than addressing their argument))). How very Talmudic of you.
Actually didn't realize Jung was in the tribe. His ideas of archetypes and collective unconscious strike me as not being particularly semitic whatsoever
My bad, I read more about Jung and the above poster was not wrong.
So, went and read more about Jung than the specific things of his that I had read before... you were correct, I was basing my opinion only on a small portion of his work.
It's also related to Plato's thoughts on archetypes, shapes, and forms, which is what I think you were thinking of.
I've seen a bunch on petroglyphs already, but not real in-depth analysis like that guy.
And I've seen plenty of geometrics from both eye pressure and other ways...I definitely like music visualizers that are akin to closed eye visuals. I've even had open eye visuals once of the "aether"...quite intriguing.
Right on, Plato's take is interesting also. I was somewhat unclear in exactly how I meant to bring up Jung... I was referencing his theories to certain universal aspects of the human mind and religious/mystical practices regardless of culture as it relates to so many cultures making the same general shapes.
There are two factors, one that there are only so many simple, recognizable and easy to quickly carve shapes people could make, second, the theory that our unconscious provides us all with a fairly universal manifestation of mystical concepts.
It blows my mind that the Hindu anahata symbol is encased in a hexagram and looks like an upside down symbol of Saturn.

What trips me out is that I get resounding synchronicities, and it seems like when I talk to people about them, they start getting them themselves.
I've only really skimmed Jung's synchronicity book, but I wonder if he touched upon them having any sort of cascading effects.
I fathom why they happen, but the "how" is even more interesting to me. Like a whole 'nother layer of reality there.
