Crawl into this low shelter to view a prehistoric rock painting. Though there is some debate, the painting is believed to be of Tlaloc, a rain deity who was both beneficial and destructive. To see the 360-degree view, use your mouse (on desktop) or finger (on device) to  move the video.

Tlaloc was characterized by goggle eyes and a blunt, rectilinear body with no arms or legs. The art work is so complex that it forms a continuous line.

Hueco Tanks State Park near El Paso has over 3000 rock paintings hidden among its boulders and caves, were places of religious
ceremony for Native Americans, from prehistoric times until the late 19th century. More details on this park at http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/hueco-tanks
