Finally...an intelligence found on the U-M forum. Really boring...the 'same old skeptics flame' from those who hold nothing more than a mouse and keyboard.

Hologram images are a `whole recording' at a single instant in time. The point of a hologram is that the perspective of the 2D image changes as the veiwing angle changes - in other words the image appears in `3D'. Holograms cannot be used to show a video unless the video is the view from an observer walking ~180 degrees around an object.
Or a hologram image making a 180° around the viewing source. The technology applied here is highly advanced and well beyond ancient or current inscription capabilities. The layered overlay pixel masks are contain the hologram images. The masks were photo-lithed onto the 3-dimensional stone surfaces (most likely using unknown photo-resists and multi-wavelength lasers. The result....a stone etched hologram image generator that works in all spatial planes. The petroglyphs were (HCl) acid tested and contain no carbon.

A vertical overlay of images can encode a video; but that is not a hologram. I suppose the most straightforward way of viewing such a video would be with different wavelengths of light - a technique which you mention applying.
Perfect holograms not to be compared to the hologram recordings we embed onto pieces of flat mylar film.

I would point out that `bilateral symmetry' does not help at all; no new information is added by reflection across an arbitrary axis - the added symmetry only helps make the pictures more convincing to the lay-person who does not understand what `bilateral reflection' means. Referring to the `Y axis' is also pointless; the axes are arbitrarily chosen by the person taking the pictures.
Using bi-lateral symmetry (mirror imaging across a lateral axis)...derived from analysis of the images and many ancient artifacts incorporating this factor (please see attached example). Visual information can be dramatically increased. Bi-llateral symmetry also works with many of the conventional glyphs found through out the world
(examples). I did come upon this factor independently but it has been a valuable tool in deciphering ancient glyphic structures by others.
Maurice Cotterell, the well known scientist and discoverer used this technique to decipher the Sarcophagus Lid of Pacal II from Palenque. Maurice derived his instructions to use this technology from the artifact itself...as did I.

Secondly changing the illumination intensity is pointless. Illumination is just a scaling factor for the brightness of the image; it has no spatial dependence and therefore cannot be used to encode/decode any additional information.
There are a couple of current standards here that don't apply. These petroglyph holograms project images in 3 spatial dimensions. Distance from the object is significant to the projection...the hologram projected image of the crescent shaped vessel (the Ark) also embodies hologram images of the life forms captured in the decks of the ship. Hologram image projections with changes in depth of field and focus.

Both the `selective spectrum' and `objective position' are, I suppose, legitimate techniques for encoding information. What is the bandwidth of each `selective spectrum', and what is the angular dependence for each `objective position'?
Spectrum wavelengths (~250nm to ~750nm) and tolerances (+/- 35nm)appear normal...gray-scale works well to identify photo image detail and glyphic structures. Angular perspective is critical as I have found complete photo-glyphic holograms codices at each 90° position. You see...the projections from these artifacts are orthographic in perspective and photographic in detail and dimension.

I would also point out that any effect of `objective position' is due solely to the orientation of the crystal planes at the surface in the small grains of the rock face - and therefore a highly suspect way of encoding information given that the rock was sitting around in the ground for (presumably) a few thousand years. Rocks do suffer wear and tear, even an extremely small amount of erosion would destroy this information.
Agree...if the surfaces were natural stone (chert as geologists have been implied to these artifacts). However, the surfaces of these stone artifacts contain precision incisions and excisions over-layed with photo-lithographic info. The surfaces areas were encapsulated, anodized or cauterized (again...possibly using a laser) to preserve glyphic images. Certain artifact areas show this quite clearly. Petroglyphs fabricated like the monolithic IC...overlay distinct mask layers.

Since the sample appears to be a slab of rock, any dependence on `selective spectrum' would be connected with local differences in surface structure, or (more probably, in my opinion), surface composition. If there is a synchrotron near where you live (unfortunately I think the nearest one to FL is probably CAMD in Baton Rouge) you could try begging a scientist to perform micro XAS imaging for transition metals (which often have characteristic colours); if the maps of concentrations of iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. follow various images then that would be some very convincing evidence that something is going on.
Partricle accelerators...even SEM or TEM would be nice! I receive no grants, no funding...I'm quite alone with this research.
Projected images from stone artifacts at any time and place under the correct conditions of spectrum and perspective.

If you can't do that then try this: get as many different colours of laser pointers as possible and a digital camera. In a dark room set up the laser pointer and the camera pointing at the sample (I would recommend having the laser 30 degrees off the normal to the surface of the sample, and the camera at -30 degrees to start with). Slowly move the sample up and down and side to side, taking a picture of the laser spot on the sample each time. This way you are slowly scanning across the surface of the sample point by point. You can also change the angle of the sample. Once you have scanned the surface, layer all the images together into one complete picture. This should quantitatively show angular, spatial, and colour dependence of the sample. Post the results to your website and include the numbers (angle between sample normal and camera, angle between sample normal and laser, etc.).
Good idea...I have recorded projections at precise positional increments yielding contiguous or moving images (i.e. walking, kneeling, eyeball movements, etc). The most successful recordings come from medium format 2”x3” transparencies.
Spectrum specific illumination has been a function of digital applications...limited edition Photoshop and Infranview I use color levels, invert to negative, brightness/contrast, gray-scale, mirror imaging to translate the projections.
Wavelength specific (laser) illumination has been a longtime objective...included in an optical translation system I configured.

Well... assuming there is some kind of message present (that's a BIG assumption); photography is not necessary for deciphering the artifact - all techniques in photography can be performed by optical filters and the experimenter can simply look through those. Incremental positioning, at least at the resolution you have worked with, has been possible for a long time. Both spectrum wavelength and intensity control can be performed by coloured glass or crystals. So the expertise to `decipher' these artifacts has been around for at least 2 thousand years.
What genius to embed the communications in stone...disguised until the technology to decipher the projection was developed by humanity.
Let me ask you something...How would you quantify a photo image with pattern recognition?
Thanks for your correspondence!
