He believes the carvings were not created recently - in the last 15 to 20 years - and could be as ancient as 3000 years old.

These are sacred places where prehistoric people with strange brain disorders
came to bang their heads against rock walls. Wearing these deep skull shaped
divots into the rock.

People with the same brain disorders today are known as Democrats.

Similar in view to milling stones used by Natives in Northern California. The Indians used to use large granite stones to sharpen weapons, mill corn, and create tools. Some of these, large and small, vertical and horizontal, can be found readily in the protected areas along the American River near Coloma.

Throughout the southwest there are similar indentations in the live rock.

The hemispherical one is used with a loose stone to grind grain.

The thinner ones are similar to straightening grooves for straightening shafts or making other tools, needles and awls.

The boulder has been turned on its side and formerly was upright.
