Ether 9:19
19 And they also had horses, and asses, and there
were elephants and cureloms and cumoms, all of which
were useful unto man, and more especially the elephants and
cureloms and cumoms.

— This is not a “confirmed” petroglyph. Since it is underwater it has not been validated by experts although most observers do believe it is a petroglyph. The photo is color-enhanced to highlight the features.

of a dove.
