The world would probably be in such a mess it wouldn't be bothering with luxury items like rock art.
In any case, this isn't a memorial to a poet or politician, it's to remember someone whose very essence was studying rock art in minute detail - so a notice explaining exactly what it was to lay people seems a bit out of place. Shouldn't the mystery of his memorial be his memorial, if you see what I mean? Or am I rambling again?
