For some reason, I saw the title of the thread and thought, "oh, Spinal Tap made a bossa nova album".

I'm assuming the Stones were dropped from a coconut tree.

That stone in the one photo looks like a "C". So possibly it was some kind of a spelling test or "large type" message--or The Village People might have plagarized a slightly earlier composed song. (just kidding).

It was traditionally thought that before European colonisation, the Amazon had no advanced societies

This statement ought to be severely doubted.
