The petroglyphs ...
are a great example of why there is little reason to even acknowledge Wyatts claims. Using them as an example is yet another one of Ron Wyatts selective dishonesty tactics.
First, such drawings are common throughout the area and extending all the way across the Mediterranean both north and south of the sea.
Second, Ron Wyatt is very dishonest in how and what he presents. One good example is the cattle you included. It is only one of many, many drawings in the same area. When you see all of the drawings though, what you find is that a variety of people and critters are included. In addition, many that he identifies as cattle are actually of goats, Ibex and other animals that were common in the area.
Here are some examples.
Note:the above is identified by Wyatt as typically Egyptian in form... but when seen in context you can see that the picture of the person is not really related to the critter and in fact is a phalic symbol which Wyatts's folk touched up to change the context.
Every other point that Wyatt brings up in his Sinai fiction suffers from similar problems. The images themselves date from long before the Exodus was supposed to happen, very near the Creation date as YECs see it. They are but old pictoglyphs.

Re: The petroglyphs ...
They are definitely from folk that pre-dated the Exodus (if there ever was an Exodus) and by many, many millenia. They don't seem to have a specific religious affiliation (ie: not related to any known religion) but do show definite signs of at a minimum, some hunting culture and fertility culture.
Despite Wyatt's claim that they are unusual, the fact is they are very common (just as they are throughout the southwest US and even the British Isles, and seem to date back to stone age cultures, hunter gatherers. If you check Google, you'll find that quite a few tour agencies offer package tours all over the area that includes trips to see similar petroglyphs in Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Lybia, Greece and on and on.

Re: The petroglyphs ...
So am I spotting a consistent failure to divulge the full information?
I honestly think what you are seeing is a constant failure of Ron Wyatt to see anything beyond what he has decided to see. When you combine that with a refusal to present any of his evidence for independant analysis, there is a pattern.

Re: The petroglyphs ...
It is not so much the outward curve as the vertical axis that then turns out. The pictures in the glyphs are far more like members of the antelope family than cattle.
