Indiana Jones lives! We spend a lot of time and energy trashing the socialist on college campuses, but they have provided so much good and still do, regardless of their brutal socialist political culture.
Reminds me of when I was a student at the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources. There were these turbo nerdy graduate students who did the dirty work for the distinguished professors. Some of these guys even buttoned their top buttons on their shirts, they were such geeks.
Then I saw some video of them in the Central and South American jungles, on a sucessful trip to survey some almost extince mamuals.
In the video, these nerdy grad students were in camo, armed with AK-47s and side arms(protection from the rebels that ruled the area) and buff as a college wrestler.

I heard it says something about "Kilr_y _as her_". They haven't made out the other letters.

"I believe the rock is a ceremonial place or a boundary marker for a tribe's territory.Archaeologists have the most active (nutty) imaginations. They are followed closely by astronomers.

Archaeologists have the most active (nutty) imaginations. They are followed closely by astronomers. I get the impression that often when some ancient thing or place is described as having a 'ceremonial' significance, that they really mean to say "we have no idea what it's for".

Someone needs to report this infraction of nationalism to that nerd-dork from the Kookinich campaign.

The rock has been dated to 3,000 BC. How?
To: vannrox
What method[s] did they use to determine the age of the writings on the rock?
To: vannrox
there is a possibility of more rocks like this being found, it is impossible to say what it means." It means there might be more rocks....
To: Riley
I get the impression that often when some ancient thing or place is described as having a 'ceremonial' significance, that they really mean to say "we have no idea what it's for".You are correct. But more than that, how about when they say "religious significance?" That also seems to explain away the "we have no idea what it's for." When "religious significance" is used, folks appear to be intimidated to disagree (or laugh).
