INDIAN HILL
Indian hill is a well-known, but remote Late Prehistoric Period Native American California Indian archeological dig site that still contains a wealth of rock art, undiscovered ancient stone tools, Indian arrowheads, grinding stones, yoni fertility sculptures, including Diegueño, Kumeyaay, Yuman cave drawings, painting, pictrographs, petroglyphs.
Extensive archaeological excavations in the 1950s virtually proved Indian Hill has been inhabited by aboriginal California Indians since 4,000 B.C., or at least 6,000 years. The Northern Diegueño and Kumeyaay peoples are believed to have been Indian Hill's most recent inhabitants.

The secret Indian cave entrance is pictured just above the center of the photo in deep shadow.
Even though this high resolution indigenous California landscape granite rock boulders picture shows the exact location of the Blue Sun Cave, it is far from answering the questions, "How to find the secret Blue Sun Cave?" and "Where is the Blue Sun Cave?" because the Indian Hill rocky landscape all looks the same and the California sun will change the lighting and make the location look completely different.

KUMEYAAY HISTORY TIMELINE
Understanding San Diego history is all about perspective...
Here since 10000 BC -- an editorial timeline and Kumeyaay history essay about San Diego's original native inhabitants.
600 generations in San Diego!
The earliest identified inhabitants of what is now called the County San Diego are known archaeologically as the San Dieguito Paleo-Indians. Scientific experts have tracked this group back to about 10,000 B.C. The Southern Diegueño (Tiipay) emerged from this group at about 3,000 B.C. and are the ancestors of some Kumeyaay living in this area presently.
