I see Rock People and Pareidolia

Hey there Tigs 38 look at this one. Every direction I turn it there is another face of some sort. What do u think...

Love the eyes this very cool

More of that one

Pics

What u think.

Loving the big stone that's got lots of detail .

I use this pic to kind of figure out where people are at.  The points on the bottom are pretty, but you might not know they are depicting anything.  I put the guy on the top to scare people away.  There's nothing natural about the way that rock is cut, or the brain inside his head.  But it's always the same thing.  

I use the facial features to help verify that I am looking at, especially from a tool perspective.  The depictions are the spirit of the tool.  

I think people sometimes see the faces and gag.  Once this happens, they will refuse to even consider the other aspects of the art, angles and wear patterns that make it all too human.  I think some people are just afraid to see the faces.  It upsets them.  It upsets my wife.  We don't even talk about it.  I mostly collect for geometry  so that I can show people the art/tools without upsetting them.  Only my real friends get to see the faces

I enhanced the photo for you to show more details

'There's nothing natural about the way that rock is cut' I'm glad someone else has the math to get this, I wrote a post about this awhile back, the mainstream just don't get it.... Statistically impossible even in 2d...

Thanks for that. You can see the mica sparkling now. He looks great!

"How could prehistoric man carve such amazing portable rock art? Should be: Why have we lost that ability today? Prehistoric man lived in a completely different world than we now live in."

I'm not sure I can answer this one in an abbreviated way, but I have developed a hypothesis as I watch these items wash out of under 2-4 feet of hard clay. There so many of them it is unbelievable. And having been around Virginia, I have observed this phenomenon elsewhere. I no longer believe that rocks in unglaciated, geologically stable areas naturally fracture. I don't believe the layer of clay that geologists call saprolite, and the regolith below is what geologists think it is. I think that saprolite primarily the result of a massive amount of ocean sediments having been cast upon the land. Before that, humans had to make their own soil, by banging rocks together. Our ancestors weren't just dirt poor, they were rock poor. Rocks were everything to them. In the process of making tools, art, and bringing stone to life, they were also making substrate for plants to grow for food, and to feed the wildlife as well. Humans were the natural process.

It would have all ended with one of the cataclysms, probably an asteroid striking the North Sea deeps, washing the prehistoric world (at least everything below 3000m) out to sea, or burying it under many feet of clay. Our ancestors (and Clovis) would have been come from the mountains, or had boats. When it was all over, there was a whole world full of workable soil, grasslands, and both the ice age, and the stone age, were over.

Just a hypothesis. Probably lots of holes. I've seen some things that have really changed my perspective on everything in the last few months, and it's nice to have open minded company. You guys really do a great service!

One of the latest cataclysm theories ive heard is the pole shift about 42000 BP, the theory now goes that it wiped out mega fauna and neanderthals, the 13000BP asteroid strike can be seen in layers in quite a few places in America ive heard, your lucky in Virginia having tephra to date layers also. Here where I am in the UK, I have chalk, supposedly 65MYA at the top, and less than a foot deep under soil in most places.

This is what i see in leavesden uk

'The points on the bottom are pretty, but you might not know they are depicting anything.' What do you get from the two on the left?, just the basics will do...

Thanks, Welcome to the wonderful world of figure stones, where a kindergarten child with a little basic knowledge can disprove the theories of hardened paleoanthropologists and highly educated archeological experts

The one on the left I believe is a Penguin.

The one in the middle I believe is a long-nosed peccary head form. It's full body is depicted on the reverse.

The "peccary" is in dark on the left, facing right, with an open mouth.

Well Im not going to say what they are not, you could be right?, but I am going to say what they are, thumb and cloaked figure. I do have one or two that have a penguin like appearance ..... but if any upright bird at all I would be guessing Great Auk as they were northern hemisphere, although with no time constraints here im not sure it matters, and one possible maybe not sure could be a penguin? does not make a glyph

HMMM my gif wont spin, so you wont see the 'penguin' after all...

Your image won't spin because your animated gif got converted to jpg using the servrimg hosted embed. If you use the remote insert option it should work

Yeah, good explanation, but I don't have it hosted anywhere, google deleted some of my content when google plus went down, so I will have to re-upload stuff at some point......
