Oh no, not mote Atlantean guff. Why can't people just accept that our ancestors had far more knowledge than we give them credit for. These days surely not even Da Vinci lemmings believe in Von Danniken et al?

Looks like a case of making facts fit the theory. A tale truly worthy of L Ron Hubbard.

'strange shapes'?...that would be the snake and the horses bit then eh?
some people!

Horse's bit? I always thought it was a brassiere. I note that the left hand orb seems to have started as a mirror, like the Picardy Stane. The people who carved the stones seemed to have been fascinated by change. Salmon that come from the sea, Dolphins that breathe air, Snakes that shed skin. I'll make the Newton Stane a must on my next trip back home.

Sounds like a Tom Robbins novel.

Amen, Scotty of Galloway. But it's no wonder most people 30 and under believe that only extraterrestrials could have come up with the scientific & technological advances of the last 20 years, given the extreme & intentional dumbing-down of the masses in the western industrialized nations. Dopey masses are easily led masses, as L. Ron Hubbard - professional propagandist, spy & satanist – realized. Not a very likely figure for heading a "religion" but look how far he got. Most people in the West are SO afraid of using their reason & exercising their few remaining freedoms, of getting out of step with the herd in any way. Such a rich source of the gullible will provide endless opportunities for would-be despots of every stripe.

Well, in general, people don't understand time very clearly. We tend to think of it in terms of our own time. We also tend to think of people in the past as being 'primative' but, of course, they were just like us and as in tune with their time as we are with ours. Where we have skills based on past discoveries so did they. Just in different areas. The minds that produced the symbolism expressed in the carved stones would probably have produced equivalent artwork today......possibly even the computer programmes that allow me to record my random thoughts for the world to see!

cobblers. it's an interpretation of artwork from a culture that had no written tradition. it reminds me of a mexican frying an egg!

does this mean that the cup and ring stones of roughtinliin in northumberland are a prophercy of ring roads?

sounds like this guy drank something a bit quirky on his trip to south america..some tribal potion perhaps

Priceless. Surely only a heady mix of Ecuadorian peyote and Dunbar magic mushies could concoct this kind of crap?

He is correct in his theory.

the two circles represent two cells in cell division. The snake represents knowledge. The stone is one piece of twelve that are scattered across the earth. It records how God had created women from the rib of man. Knowledge was divided during the period when genesis chapter 11 verses 1 to 9. Evidence that God is the pattten name of the original designer.
G ood O ld D ad. LOL. This is my story and I am sticking to it. God was here first....the creator. we come from top down, not bottom up. Only an neadrethal comes from bottom up. hee hee

"hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle". Dohhh!

"cat and fiddle" is an English catholic reference to fat Henry Tudor's first wife Catherine of Aragon and is code for Catherine Fidelius (sp) =Catherine the Faithful, used by anti-Reformationists.
The various "Cat and Fiddle" pubs were meeting places for like minded people.

Nothing to do with Sumeria spacemen etc.

Now does anyone want to discuss the Scottic "Milesians" conquest of what is now Ireland as "recorded" in the "Book of Invasions"?

Looks a bit like the pruning, of the moon, when it collided wit de erth...the dark side of the moon and then the erth emerge OK OK OK ? Impacts she happen den da moon get pruned and they are together.

It should be pointed out that "Magyar" just means "Hungarian" in Hungarian. I really don't think they went all the way to South America, or Scotland!

Hummm...Some aliens misplace their ordinance survey map, and everyones in a dither!

Happy St. Andrew's Day! The name of this apostle to the Scyths, or Skuth-es (Gr.) is evidently derived from the Khatti-Hittite supreme god Indara, Sumerian Induru, Indian Indra, Scandinavian Eindri, etc. who freed the populace from a cannibal dragon-serpent (ref. Newton Stone) His other Sumerian name was Bel, as in Beltane. A Khatti-Hittite seal of c. 2000 BC illustrating the contest is in the Biblioth. Nationale. Paris, showing Indara wearing on his head a framed diagonal (Saltire) Cross. He also appears to be the INARA found with varieties of the same cross on pre-christian coins and monuments of Baratannia (Britain) and Hittite seals as discovered by L.A.Waddell.

What it COULD mean is that every so many years Saturn and Jupiter come together in the sky. That is IF it has anythiing at all to do with those planets.

It appears that way from our perspective anyway. How many years, don't recall sorry; the sections of the snake may indicate that. Most if not all of these things are primative yet still very clever astronomical observations. The planets were, please keep in mind, the gods. We still call them by their god names. Our ancestors did not know what those twinkly things are up there.

The "battle" (coming together and one sinking in the sky after, was told in various mnumonic-device stories where maybe the son defeats and emasulates the father. Can't recall which was which, Saturn or Jupiter. I say mnumonic because the stories helped people to learn the stars for navigation, time keeping, and for religious/mysical beliefs (those being in the form of fables to hide the valuable knowlege from the uninitiated). Just because it was hidden, doesn't mean it was anything more than something practical. The ancients kept alphabets, construction methods, you-name-it, a secret hiden in silly stories.

Keeping an open mind, is the mark of a human who relys upon everything in his life, to reveal whatever it is that might explain events past for which he might not have any knowledge of, whatsoever.

Even fables possess a hint of the past, for they are based upon some piece of knowledge long ago forgotten.

The people of old – I will consider – didn't make up stories for purely entertainment purposes, seeing as how they had not much time for such idle pastimes, what with the whole idea of doing everything they might, in order to stay alive.

Modern detractors of ancient stories reveal their own ignorance of the past, by denouncing events recorded by those ancients, conniving to imply that those ancient people were living as we do today, what with our respective creature comforts.

Willful ignorance is it's own magnifying glass, revealing itself many times greater than any of us might otherwise.

To "kennybhoy". you are an ingnorant and grass prill

maybe some where there are many other stones, maybe in the most discreet places on earth; crop circles would indicate that. becuase if that pattern on that stone was looked at from an above view, that's what you are looking at. they are all parts to a much bigger puzzle ......................................the puzzle of life and death !!..it's just one more equasion.

I blame the Daleks. They are well known for leaving grafiti all over the place.

Arg. It just means we were startled by a snake and two spiders so we ran away and wound up here.
Or something.

Could it be a double-barreled barbecue & snake-on-a-stick?

Am I the only one who see's two cells spliting and possibly a micrscopic worm of some sort??

I am no archeological expert, and I wonder if anyone
has done any dating upon stone and carving.
What I see is a well weathered stone, still showing
the symbolic female form, a skewered snake, the skewer coming out of an upturned uterus on the left
and the head of the snake approaching another uterus
the correct way up. Above is the duality of male and
female bound together and in the form of breasts.
Is this not indicitive of early pictish or celtic tribes
attempting to depict the serpent in the garden of Eden
from Genesis. Perhaps combining this with their own
fertility rites

Josh 25: Are not the electromagnetic principles of cell production and virgin planet births logically identical? Energy buildup to the point of separation? The z-rod curls are exactly the forms of celestial plasma discharges evidenced in experiments by Dr. Anthony L. Peratt For details check 'Thunderbolt' link in Stan Hall's website
http://www.goldlibrary.com
Arthur 26: In looking at the Newton Stone pattern don't you see a celestial depiction of the Genesis story of Adam and Eve with the Serpent. Note detail of the impending birth of a smaller planet from the left disc.

I see what I said, I don't see planetary birth in the two
discs. The earth at the time of planet formation was not life supporting, and if their had been it would not have survived Saturn, Jupiter accretion. That is why
I think the two cicles are breasts, not planets.
And the lines between them are bonds, as in between the sexes. In any case it is not an accurate depiction of
the accretion process, though for it's time it wouldn't
need to be.

There is an article in the BBC News site today, regarding the discovery of a snake carving in a cave (?) at Snake Rock in Botswana.
It is reckoned to be 70,000 years old and may be the earliest record of a religion.
I am not suggesting that the symbolism on this stone is in any way related to the Botswana carving though!

It is unlikely that any of the double-disc and z-rod carvings were produced around the time of the actual catastrophes - following which, incidentally, the planets became much more important to ancient peoples than the Sun and the Moon - but more likely to have been authorised by a later ruler(s) with an oral tradition of cataclysmic events ... probably the ruling Catti/Cassi/Kazi who had built Isten Henger/Stonehenge and other megaliths since the time Sargon I in the 3rd millennium BC sent his Szemur/Sumer miners to Cornwall and Somerset (Seat of the Sumers), Cimri-land/Wales, Cumbria/Sumeria, Caithness/ Catti-land, and Katti-Ku, old capital of Cetiland(Shetland).

Looks Pictish to me. Why can't Scots be proud of their indigenous ancestors, those who moved into Scotland around the end of the last ice age? You would be amazed at some of the things the Picts did that everyone else is taking credit for.

Of course thinking Scots are proud of their indigenous ancestors. Here is what the great english Law authority Sir. F. Palgrave said about the pre-ROMAN British Law Code in his "Rise and Progress of the English Commonwealth,1.37", translated for the Anglo-Saxons by King Alfred: "The historical order prevailing in this Code shows that it was formed with considerable care, and the customs it comprehends bear the impress of great antiquity... But the Triads, and the laws of Hoel Dda (founded on Molmut's) excel the the Anglo-Saxon and other Teutonic customals in the same manner that the elegies of Llywarch Hen, and the codes of Taliesin soar above the ballads of the Edda. Law had become a science amongst the Britions; and its volumes exhibit the jurisprudence of a rude nation shaped and modelled by thinking men, and which had derived both stability and equity from the labours of its expounders."

Do a search for "runsten" or "runestone" in Google images, and you will find lots and lots of stones like this. We have hundreds of them here in Sweden. The snake is always there, and sometimes also the circle/sun/whatever you would like to interpret it as. I can't see here from the image if there are runes inside the snake, like in our runestones?

http://images.google.se/images?hl=sv&q=runsten&bt...

The Swedish stones are primarily from 950-1100 A.D.

Well...whatever it is... I think it's pretty :)
lol

In younger days in Northern Arizonas Kaibab Forest, I happened upon some petroglyphs at Russels Tanks; not unusual, No. AZ. is nearly plastered with 'glyphs. Someone had tried to load this many-ton particular slab of stone, succeeding only in turning it over to rest against the creek embankment. The now hidden side is covered with the rock drawings, one end of which shows 2 distinct Sun symbols - spirals - right next to each other. I have often thought that the ancient people in that area had seen and recorded the supernova event recorded in Chinese Astronomical history. That it's possible they witnessed the birth of one gaseous planet from another is not inconceivable.
