(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Zipper Glyph, March 20, 2021 during the spring equinox, or one of the two times during the year the sun illuminates the northern and southern hemispheres equally. The Zipper Glyph is the largest petroglyph at the Parowan Gap and has been interpreted in different ways. The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah believes the glyph depicts the story of a migration where many people experienced famine, drought, water crossings, cold, ice and hot sun and of a great Leader. The petroglyph also has been researched by an astronomer and archaeologist who believe the glyph is based on astronomical events, depicting the movement of the sun, moon and stars as a means to track and chart seasonal changes including the summer and winter solstices and the equinoxes among native people. Those theories are still under review by scientific and American Indian communities.
