Good morning Esperanza ,

No , unfortunately no one has deciphered the meaning of any of the paintings or the petroglyphs . Jose Garza Carrillo told me that the best indian heads are in La Laguna in Coahuila . He and his son in law have written a book on the paintings and petroglyphs along with students and a professor from a university in the states .
