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]

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.

That's a map of my old neighborhood ...

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.

If it has eroded as much as the article indicated since 1930, that would indicate that it’s not all that old.

Great post.

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.

So Yves Tanguy was a time traveler?

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.

Great, so tell idiots where it is so they can come paint it up like they have Lover’s Leap on US 58 past Stuart. Narcissist nation thinks their stupid initials will be remembered, in the face of such beauty of the valley. Utter nobodies.

The petroglyphs resemble the ones on a stone discovered on Sweetwater creek...less than a mile from my house. You have posted a thread about it before.

Looking at it, especially the lower right below the long diagonal, it becomes obvious it was inscribed by “The Mad Arab,” Abdul Alhazred.
