Rain shamans traveled to Petroglyph Canyon in Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area near Las Vegas, Nevada, believed home of a creator god, where over 300 rock art panels with 1,700 design elements record shamanic visions. In Canada, Petroglyph rock was chosen because groundwater through a 15-foot crack produced whispering sounds. Southern African traditions held that echoing rocks formed a veil to the spirit realm.
