Our pagan history goes back a long way !

Thanks for posting those pics Norseman, and the interesting story:smile:

Wow! that looks so great and the animals looks like stags/deer to me but they could also be horses as the Celt's worshiped them.

WOW impressive. :)

Impressive find and I got chills of excitment looking at the photos.

As I understand it they wouldn't have been Celts.

"Celts" began to arrive 1st millenium BC. The carvings, dated at about 6000 BC, are just after Britain became an island. There were earlier settlements around 8000 BC , notably Star Carr in the marshes which became the North Yorkshire coast.

The image of the incredibly dimpled carving looks a lot like what can be found around here in California. It's not unusual to be hiking through the woods and run across large granite boulders riddled with holes like that. The natives around here used them as mortar and pestle, to grind up their food or herbs, and well, since what you do to rock doesn't go away, they can still be found all over, today.

Good find. Not too far away from me, I might go and have a look if the site is open to the public.
