Archaeologists have discovered a panel containing the only known example of spider rock art in Egypt and, it appears, the entire Old World.
The rock panel, now in two pieces, was found on the west wall of a shallow sandstone wadi, or valley, in the Kharga Oasis, located in Egypt's western desert about 108 miles (175 kilometers) west of Luxor. Facing east, and illuminated by the morning sun, the panel is a "very unusual" find, said Egyptologist Salima Ikram, a professor at the American University in Cairo who co-directs the North Kharga Oasis Survey Project.
The identification of the creatures as spiders is tentative and the date of it uncertain, Ikram told LiveScience in an email. Even so, based on other activity in the area, the rock art may date to about 4000 B.C. or earlier, which would put it well into prehistoric times, before Egypt was unified, noted Ikram, who detailed the finding in the most recent edition of the journal Sahara.

It would be so epically bad, I would love it! LOL!
markings look like ogham
Good point, it might be productive as a way in to the language.
Cave guy sips the strange liquid from the “god being” who stepped out of the light.
Then the nightmare begins.
I know but the ‘professionals’ don’t want to make any connections between Egypt and the Scoti ( the Celts) They will invent their own version of what they think it means . whether it does or not
There is no connection, although I’ve seen that invented version posted on FR.
A Darkshearean Nightmare is a thing of beauty for those of us with twisted minds...
you prove my point . heaven forfend you read some dissenting opinions (like maybe a little Michael Cremo or the long history of The Lost Tribes).
But have a merry Christmas
This is also cool.

The shout of the Tank Zombie from Left 4 Dead plays right after the coffee is sipped.
Point of view switches to the coffee drinker as red blood vessels appear in his field of vision.
All y’all are way wrong. You’re over thinking the thing, it’s so simple.
What it is, obviously, is a petro dead drop for a spy that was snooping around opposition villages.
Silly people think that Americans, heck, even modern civilization, invented the NSA.
Wonder what Barry Fell would have had to say about that panel?
Interesting. Thank you for posting.
Rebus? :’)

This is a pretty interesting idea as well:

Here’s the topic I spoke of:

It’s completely made up, with no evidence of any kind to support it. That’s not a dissenting opinion, it’s moonbattery.
Cremo’s interesting.
The Assyrians’ forced exile of those ten tribes resulted in their arrival at the margins of the Assyrian Empire, and ultimately to their descendants numbering in the millions in Europe (prior to the Holocaust) and in the US, among other places:

Barry Fell would identify it as Ogham writing, I think.
My thoughts also. Celtic voyagers in Egypt?
