The presence of the humanoid figures at the base of the carving adds an additional layer of mystery. These figures may represent gods, rulers, or significant spiritual figures within the community that created the rock art. The intricate details in the carvings suggest a high level of craftsmanship and cultural importance. The use of the ladder in the image shows the impressive scale of the carvings, indicating that these ancient artists put considerable effort into reaching the elevated rock face, further underscoring the significance of the site.
