*****Wonderful finds. In other caves, in the Pryrenees, they have outlines of hands on the walls. They say it had some ritualistic significance.*****
Cool stuff...but when I hear these archeologists and anthropologists speculate like that, I often wonder what aliens would think if they came down on Earth 20,000 years from now and discover "ancient ritualistic" games of tic-tac-toe scratched on a wall. =P
It would probably be the basis for some sort of intergalactic "Da Vinci Code" novel. :)
Not to mention the "...millions of shiny, circular plastic disks, 14 flids in diameter, with a 1.3 flid central hole. Most are found in rectangular display cases, which hold a single disk, though some cases hold two, or even three disks. Some are blank on both sides, though most have undecipherable patterns applied on one side. A very few have what appear to be representational art work on one side. All have at least one side blank.
Mainstream xenoethnographers believe these are ritualistic items; some radical iconoclasts speculate, that they are a form of currency. A few untrained popular sensationalists, such as Von Lokigan, make unsupported claims that they are an unknown form of data storage device."
