I ain’t gonna argue with the guys,but why can’t they just be like a frieze depicting a hunting or battle scene that can be viewed and understood by everyone regardless of nationality.

Those drawing on the caves in France showing the guys hunting and doing various things, was not a secret language,they could not write but they could draw...

Oh, I think this is very cool! Weren’t the picts considered witches?

Did they have anything to do with the Druids? Wonder if it would shed light on the Druids?
