Plan de Sorcières submitted by aangelo : Boulder with 7 carved cups. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two groups of cup marks carved on a pair of boulders in a clearing in Northern Italy. Discovered by Paolo Chiaberto and the archaeo-astronomer Guido Cossard. It is argued that their arrangement strongly resembles the Pleiades constellation as seen about 5000-6000 years ago and includes the "lost" 7th Pleiad.

The carvings were found near the Plan des Sorcières (literally: "The witches’ plateau").

Discoveries In Valle d'Aosta - Prime Mappe Stellari by davidmorgan on Sunday, 27 November 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
Two groups coppelle (ie, signs of a few cm diameter dug by man on rocky foundations in prehistoric times) engraved on rocks representing the storage of Pleiades, located near the Plan des Sorcieres in common Lillianes (Aosta) represent for the archeastronomo Guido Cossard "the oldest existing maps stellar."

According to the scholar Val d'Aosta, author of the discovery, "the framework archeoastronomico site provides a significant confirmation as a major alignment concerns the rise of Pleiades."

Found the first stone after reporting a colleague, Cossard then discovered the second during a campaign measurement.

They were the children dell'archeoastronomo to notify the father coppelle unusual group that united to complete the representation of storage stars of Pleiades.

The stones bear a coppella more that could then be the seventh Pleiade, what traditionally is called the Atlantis, or 'Pleiade lost'.
