Huge surf exposes rare petroglyphs on Oahu’s North Shore

>> THIS STRETCH OF BEACH IN THE HAIR AREA OF THE NORTH SHORE IS TYPICALLY COVERED IN ABOUT 10 FEET OF SAND. IT TAKES A MASSIVE SWELL TO PUSH THE SAND AWAY AND EXPOSE THESE ROCKS. AND IF YOU'RE HERE AT THE RIGHT TIME, THESE PATRICK LIPS CAN BE EXPOSED. IT'S KIND OF CRAZY THAT. >> I WAS ABLE TO COME DOWN AND SEE >> THEY WERE BRIEFLY EXPOSED AFTER THE SWELL IN JANUARY. BUT RESIDENTS SAY THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THEM LIKE THIS SINCE 2016 AND SOME SAY THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THEM AT ALL THIS MORNING. A LUCKY FEW WERE ABLE TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S DEFINITELY LAYING OUT SOME TYPE OF STORY.

>> REALLY HARD TO TELL. >> WHAT KIND OF THING GOING ON THERE? WHY THEY DECIDED TO PART WHAT THEY DID IN THIS SPOT. BUT >> WHATEVER IT IS, INCREDIBLE. >> EXPERTS SAY THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF RECORDINGS OF PETROGLYPHS IN THIS AREA STRETCHING FROM KATY TO ROCK PILE AND IT COULD HAVE TAKEN DAYS TO COVER ONE SIMPLE AND TO THE ROCK AT ME, YOU IMAGES UNDER COACH COOL THAT ARE DONE. >> STONE AGES. ARE GOING TO PICKING USING CARTER STONE TOOLS ON THAT. SAW HER. SO SO SUBSTRATE, I GUESS THEY REPRESENT. TO BE HONEST, WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE BECAUSE WE CAN'T NO, BECAUSE ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE FROM THE CONTRACTOR. >> HE SAYS IMAGES DEPICTING HUMANS WITH ANIMALS LIKE THESE CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 80, 80 TO 17 78. LAWYERS SAYS PETROGLYPH FIELDS ARE BECOMING MORE RARE, ESPECIALLY ON OAHU. AND BECAUSE THIS IS TYPICALLY COVERED IN SAND EVERY OTHER DAY, THE YEAR, IT'S HARD TO PRESERVE.

>> THE MAIN THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE. >> YOU KNOW, TRYING TO PROTECT THEM BY, YOU KNOW, NOT STEPPING ALL OVER THEM AND AND DEFINITELY DON'T TRY TO GET ROBBING WAS FROM THEM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST OBSERVE THEM, PHOTOGRAPH THEM AND ENJOY YOU KNOW, SO THAT CARE FOR. >> AND THEY SHOULD. >> NOW THE WILL LIKELY BE COVERED BY THE END OF TODAY. AND WITH WINTER NOW ON ITS WAY OUT, THE NEXT TIME YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THEM IF YOU'RE LUCKY WILL BE .
