A petroglyph is a rock carving. A hieroglyph is a stylized picture used to represent a word, sound or idea in writing systems such as those of the ancient Egyptians or Maya.
The two categories overlap (i.e., hieroglyphs that are carved on rock), but there are many hieroglyphs that are not petroglyphs and vice versa.
