Looks like a coprolite to me. Maybe a Mo’ turd.

the stone, which carries drawings of birds and elephants, weighs 131 gm, exactly the same number of words in the Koran verse that mentioned the stone

A gramme is a unit of measure (weight) in the Metric System which was created in the 19th Century, approximately 1,300 years after the purported date of the stone object. What a coincidence!

that really looks familiar. Now I know what it looks like a “deer turd”. Gee, i see a lot of these up here in the UP of Michigan. Some are pellet like but there are some do look like this too. a deer turd could be sacred too.

Abdul Muttalib? Isn’t that the name of the moron who stuffed incendiaries into his underwear and burned his “junk” off over Detroit a couple of years ago?

"stones of baked clay" . that's also Hamas title for their current rocket offensive against Israel. Weird coincidence.

You win my respect.

[and that’s a pretty hard thing to do]

;]

One of my most cherished possessions is a bronze pendant based on that scene.

The Horned Serpent forms an oval frame around Cernunnos.

It’s pretty cool but befuddles most people who see it.

Another cherished thing is an old Danish anthropomorphic bronze Celtic dagger I found in a hock shop one day.

[I have a lot of weird Celtic stuff around the house]

LOL
