For this 1930s photo, the cryptic markings were filled with chalk. Since this valuable picture was made, the rock has continued to erode, making serious study increasingly difficult. [photo courtesy Jerry Parker]
Whoops, attribution should be "Website Designed and Maintained by Robert McGhee". My apologies. Also, there's a 2006 update, regarding a "new" find, and an expedition to a nearby cave.
There`s a 767 flying past the sun in the upper left corner.
Sounds like they ought to find a way to protect it from the elements.
It’s very pretty, they could sell stuff with those designs on it to raise money to protect it.
There`s a girl being attacked by a snake in the middle right edge.
“Jackson Pollock was here.”
See ... six fingered Louie lived with his pigeontoed wife with a dog on main st .. (the house with the smoke comin' from the chimney and an apple tree out front)
Hang a right at the next alley and you come to that fairy's house ( I forget his name ,, charlie or charlene or something) on the right
Across the street (alley) from the fairy was Sonny's crib .. he liked to garden and always had some crops to raid when we was hungry
Keep goin' a little farther and you'd come to pig's house ... no one EVER knew her name, but she'd do ANYthing if you paid her
If you continued down to the end of the road and looked to your right ... you'd see old man geezer ... just standin' there with an old hat on .. if you looked passed him into the distance, you could make out the corn field he SEEMED to be standing beside ...
Which shows t' go ya .... an old southerm gentleman is always outstanding in his field.

There’s also a rocket contrail looping up from the ground and crossing the sun as it heads to the 767.
Also, there’s a smaller craft heading up from just below and left of the 767, probably a jet fighter on intercept.
Don’t be silly! It was left by the Muslims.
If it has eroded as much as the article indicated since 1930, that would indicate that it’s not all that old.
I spent a large part of my younger years near Asheville and in western South Carolina.
Can't believe I never heard about this before!
As I recall, some of the earliest dated settlements in North America have been located in eastern South Carolina.
The article says, "due to weather and inconsiderate visitors, the rock is quickly eroding." So It appears to be the rude visitors causing the problem.
Here is the wikipedia article:

So Yves Tanguy was a time traveler?
Soapstone is much softer than a fingernail. It is used for a writing pencil in welding.
I would guess a big, flat stone like that would mostly likely have been used as a sacrificial altar, so the markings are probably related to the religion of whoever was using it for that.
Good point, soapstone erodes pretty easily too. Of course, if it was buried for a long time and only unearthed recently, that could account for it.
That was fast!
