Has anyone matched the Iona stone to the geology at the site, apart from it looking similar?
The checker board pattern in NW Tasmania is odd, like the Bradshaw carvings in NW Australia. They seem to be a different people from Aboriginals and the locations suggest shipwreck in voyages from Africa- India. Africans are evident in New Guinea.
Checker board patterns may be the obvious format for navigation maps.

"I'm trying to see if this is a glyph unique to sites described by the map, or is it a common glyph found everywhere."
With the star-map wrapped twice around the earth and the Lascaux bison exactly fitting the Holy Roman Empire and Spain's horseshoes galloping across oceans, there isn't a place omitted by the map. The Tampere eskimos of Cygnus made sure of that.

If the map is true, it will be able to predict the location of undiscovered monuments. If it can reliably do this, then the land, together with appropriate ransom strips, could be purchased in advance of the discovery of the monument(s) themselves.

---------------------------------

Thought about it...but the VC's around here didn't want to invest

Pity I don't have any money, because I've found two sites so far......



Then either your theory is faulty, or you need to move to somewhere similar to the county I currently live in, where you don't even have to ask to receive unsolicited offers of investment to do things very similar to the above.

Investors won't be interested unless you have additional un-revealed evidence. What is the extent of additional evidence that you have for the theory?

I completed a search using Google and could only find this type of Glyph at Irkutsk in Russia, Iona in Scotland, Tasmania, and the Southwest USA.

Petroglyph /geoglyph on Iona ? Got a pic ?

It's an under water site discovered by a guy called Ben Burville a diver.

You can see a video of the underwater site here

Lindisfarne is in eastern England , Iona is off Mull in western Scotland about 180 miles disatnt as the crow flies .

Uluru rock of Warumungu people in central Australia aligns with Scotland, and Lindisfarne is closer than Mull to the Lascaux bull's horns on the map .

Oh sorry...I read the first sentence that your theory is faulty and I thought here we go again.....

Actually I have another 5 papers still to publish. They will come out in a couple of months time. The theory already is quite solid. So now the aim has changed to doing some "ground" work.

First stage will be to look at select site - the underwater sites are the most promising.

I'll then start collecting together a team to undertake underwater studies.

I was actually joking about the VC part.....




I haven't looked in detail at the theory to be honest. My experience is that the investment community will be the first to show interest if the first paper/book/presentation is statistically sound and provides obvious leads to the discovery of further objects/finds/discoveries.

By statistically sound, I mean that the theory should:

1) be a perfect fit for all existing evidence, even if you don't reveal all of the extent of the 'fit' in your published paper, and

2) predict things that are unknown (if it predicts things that are known, then it could be yet another backwardly worked theory). However, if it predicts things that are unknown (and it is right) then it becomes a 'killer app'.

I would also say to take your critics more seriously than those that agree with the theory: Your critics (those that know their field) are invaluable.

However, I would think very carefully about fully publishing the theory unless you are doing it as a peer review work. It's difficult to see what the point of publishing the theory is, if there is a gain to be had (by your potential funders) in keeping all, or part, of the theory confidential. A correct, but unfunded and therefore unknown, theory is just another lost idea.

Just a thought!

Good luck with your ideas.

Bump . If you can make mistakes like this is it worthwhile looking at the general idea , which seems to involve a fair bit of geography ?

To save a lot of trouble reading and getting abuse when pointing out problems , could you suggest anything that might convince you that your idea is wrong ?

What about the petroglyph/geoglyph on Iona ?

If there is nothing that you can think of that will convince you that your theory is wrong then it is a waste of time discussing it . All that can be suggested is pointing out obvious mistakes gleaned from a couple of pages and anything you might happen to mention here . There is plenty of "artwork"
older than 14,000 years apart from European and Australian , try Africa , Asia has the oldest dated cup marks if not paintings .

....And if any of the drawings have recognizable star patterns it might be worthwhile checking the pattern with the proposed model.

If there is a match you then have a major discovery. Congratulations!

If not then the data can be used as part of a statistical argument to argue against the model.

....And again congratulations!

Still no mention of the petroglyph/geoglyph on Iona ?


There are plenty of examples of rock art engravings supposedly "resembling" constellations , Orion's belt ,as is to be expected i.e. three marks not quite in a line , is everywhere . Last November it was claimed that the cup marks on the Trefael stone in Pembrokeshire portrayed constellations , this coming from astronomers (unnamed ) and archaeologists , if you believe that ....we havn't heard anything since so maybe they have seen sense . Look hard enough and you'll see what you want in the huge resource of the world's rock art , not worthy of any congratulations .

If you can't suggest something that will convince you of the idea not being valid then it's not worth arguing against it and only worth mentioning mistakes that crop up in conversation here , like the the Iona , Oisinneach and Lurg Mhor examples .
