Incredible Ica Stones Of Peru

I find these Ica stones of Peru facinating; there are thousands of them of all sizes depicting a large picture of events that happened perhaps millions of years ago with mankind as a witness. Some scenes are graphically sexual in nature while others show land masses that no longer exsit today. On one stone a Serapod(sic) is giving live birth to her babies; on another, a man rides a feathered dinosaur. Some scientists are trying to debunk these stones as a modern day hoax; the problem is there are too many of them and they find more every day. So what is going on here and who were these people that recorded their history on stone so long ago?

Re: Incredible Ica Stones Of Peru

I think they are probably fake. Although, if they are, the farmer and his wife must have worked around the clock on them. It is interesting their proximity to the Nazca Lines, which I find even more interesting.

The first picture looks like the dinosaur is adjusting the guy's neck!

He was brought in an questioned by the the Peruvian government because he was becoming somewhat of a legend and he was selling these to tourists. The reason he was questioned is because there was concern at that time of that area being overrun with looters and the like similar to the problem Egypt was experiencing. The farmer afterward admitted these were a hoax. It still makes for a nice souvenir.

The only problem is there are thousands of these stones either the farmer was very busy or he had a sweat shop!

Re: Incredible Ica Stones Of Peru

The provenance on them seems pretty dubious. Granted that wikipedia is not authoritative... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ica_stones
