(2011-02-16) | sick spam! | Andy B
(2011-02-16) | I can see the eye and head but it might not be a shark | cerrig
(2011-02-17) | It looks to me more like a lizard's head, and there's another one right next to it, both looking left. The bottom of the capstone is their lower chin line. | praeceptor
(2011-02-22) | To me it's obvious that somebody has visited and has painted various spam or grafitti on the capstone, just like it now has happened with the Jelling Stone, where a local teenager has spray painted his so called tag on the our world heritage. | Martin L
(2011-02-22) | Yes of course, I assume this is obvious to all. But they are discussing something else here. Apart from the graffiti/paintings you mentioned Pab noticed a natural (not prehistoric) structure, that reminded him of a shark head.

(2011-02-22) | I don't think it's graffiti. I can't remember the scientific term for it but we're talking about the tendency of the human eye/brain to find anthropomorphic (sharkomorphic!?) figures in natural patterns. In some cases they can be augmented to make rock art but not in this case I would say. | Martin L
(2011-02-22) | Andy, Praeceptor was not referring to the natural fissures marked here. Other parts of the capstone possibly show paint remains. | Martin L
(2011-02-22) | Regarding UNESCO site Jelling:

Hopefully he gets what he deserves.... | AngieLake
(2011-02-23) | All this reminds me of the 'lizardomorphic' stone at Nine Stones Winterborne Abbas in Dorset. (Can't find that one that was edited to look even more 'lizard-like' Andy!, but it came from this original.) http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=a312&file=index&do=showpic&pid=17133 |
