As far as the Americas are concerned and ancient mysteries, Peru has to be the seat of where ancients landed and civilized this continent.
From the Paracas elongated skull people to the legends of giants landing and digging wells in rock, to ancient stone structures and Nazca lines, this country rocks the mysteries like few others!
Sayhuite is one such mystery. The find of this giant stone with odd carvings has been said to be associated with the Incas but its meanings and purpose are lost over time.
I am reminded oddly of Rongorongo – the unknown language found on Easter Island that even the Rapa Nui didn't seem to understand and might be attributed to the long-earreds that lived there first.
It isn't known for sure when it was carved, but it is assumed by archaeologists to be Incan and represent “worship” (the catch-all for archaeology). Every time there is a finding they do not understand or dare to be brave enough to ask questions about, they categorize it as “worship,” “religion” or “gods” and call the case closed. Their myopic and cowardly assumptions have led us to many dead-ends in the field of studying ancient man. So long as they continue the same old world explanation for everything they don't understand, we will get nowhere. Thankfully, there are many who ask questions of out of place/out of time finds.
We may not understand this ancient find, but we must admit, we do not understand how it was made, why it was made, or who made it.
Neat rock. Thanks for sharing.
Cool
Strange time on the comment above? Its actually 7 AM
I always thought the ancients who made these things would laugh at our interpretations of them if they were to come alive again.
Reminds me of that Russian pilot who defected with the super secret Russian MIG jet back in the 70′s to Japan. After being debriefed he was asked about some satellite photos that had US officials very worried.
When he told them what it was about they all had a good laugh!
The rock reminds me of some of the things the Mayans did, but in that rock I clearly see the depiction of a city laid out which is unusual.
I’m in agreement. It would seem to be a sort of topographic map of the layout of a town. It also reminds me a great deal of the Judaculla Rock in North Carolina.
