Photographed for the first time ever!
This large stone, nearly 2 feet wide, was found in the Onion
site some 4 years ago.
Overlooked until the now famous Gault stones were found some 50 miles
north of the Onion site,
this stone finally got photographed by the Texas Archaeological Research
Lab.
{{THANKS, TARL! Bob had been trying to photograph this stone for
years to no avail.}}
The Gault stones, found on a confirmed paleo site, are inscribed with
much the same type
of symbols, but those stones are are much smaller. Why was this large
stone so carefully cared
for over the milennia? Why was it redrawn or added to centuries, perhaps
milennia after it was
originally made?
You cannot truly appreciate this amazing artifact from this lo-rez
shot, so we're
offering a zip file you can download with the entire set of photos
taken in different
lighting, and stored in hi-rez.
What do the symbols mean? Is this a map, or something altogether different?
