But not this:
[Mooney suggested I talk with a West Virginia archaeologist, Robert Pyle, with regard to testing the Michigan and Burrows material.. Besides, Pyle had spoken at The Mid-Atlantic Epigraphic Society (Buchanan 1994) and also at a meeting of ISAC and fooled Burrows and many believers by producing an inscribed stone which resembled those peddled by Burrows, but had been actually made by Pyle a few days before. One has to admire hands-on science and skepticism.
Pyle wasn’t long in getting back to me about the Michigan and Burrows items I’d sent him (Pyle 1996). He deemed all of the material to be of a recent manufacture and not thousands of years old as alleged. Of the Burrows’ 'cave' inscribed stone he examined (see Pearson pic below), Pyle wrote:
“[The stone] ...displays grinding around the entire edge. The pictographs and symbols may represent a known text, therefore, may be translatable. However, the prepared polished surface has deposits of polish compound left within the grooves from that recent effort. Again the characteristics of the grooves indicate hasty manufacture causing fracturing along the top edge. My conclusion based on the surface preparation and line characteristics is that this piece is also of recent manufacture.”
As Pyle used it, “recent” could mean any date between c.1880 and 1980 or so. He ended his report with, “It is unfortunate that items of this nature are being passed off on the public as artifacts for the profit of a few individuals.” Unfortunately, the Burrows Cave scam involves more than a “few individuals,” and that number continues to increase as other opportunists join in. ]

Kevin, you do seem to come up with all the classic hoax cases , please do a little research before posting stuff from "mystery " type web sites .
Maybe the cure would be if you betted on these sites being shown to be genuine , the failure to win might induce a bit of scepticism .  .

Tiompan,
I posted a link to the Egyptian carvings to Katie, I have no way of knowing anything about them, as you don't.
I did talk of the carvings on the stones, which I recognise, like the back of my hands.
I would have thought that the gold lozenges are more interesting?
