I think archeologists may have missed an obvious second explanation for these stone carvings. It may not be language at all. In the day, the ancients may have been doodling while communicating via smoke signal.

They found signs of industrial activities like glass and lead-making...

Ah yes, the lost art of lead-making. Even today, it's still very hard to make elements.

Nonsense. Just put a couple of pounds of Uranium in the fridge for a couple of billion years and Voila! Lead.

the threat posed by rising sea levels and coastal erosion. The Whitby Headland site could disappear within 20 years.
And maybe by that time, when it hasn't disappeared, all the demagogues will shut their stupid mouths about the ridiculous hoax.

It does look like a possible home work assignment given to a young chiseler, doesn’t it?

You remember those chains of connected loops you had to draw over and over when first learning to write in cursive?

that Flyingdale Moorstone I posted appears to be part of a larger piece...I would venture this ‘rock’ was not discovered in situ.

Yeah, it sure does. I don’t remember the cursive circles, but I do remember my mom setting me down and explaining that today I was going to learn to write instead of print. Man, that was a pain.

Poor little caveboys and cavegirls...

You want lead, just trade with China.

They missed the obvious implication of trade.

The Chinese had to get all that lead they're sending us now, from somewhere.
