[Eos of the Eons]

From the photos Eos posted it looks as much like language or a map(a stone map, easy to carry, humans hadn't yet thought of writing on sheets of tree bark or leather.)as the Cydonian hill looks like a face. Its obviously about Noah, The Flood, or telling where to get golpher wood.

LOL, well, there was this book I read and in the story there were stones along the way to summer meeting places that helped let you know which direction to take next. Makes sense to have a non-mobile map to mark the right path hey?

But, it's very open to interpretation, and nailing it down like they try to as this fertility rock thing is really far fetched in my mind. I'm not educated in this area one iota though, so speaking from outright ignorance here, but I still think it is very open to interpretation.

Even if it is a map, the geography in any region is constantly changing, so it would be pretty much impossible to prove-especially if it is very far from where it was first marked up.

I appreciated this tip, because it gave me validation to throw away the maps that had been cluttering up my trailer, esp. those of the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as my binder for the Marianas trench. Thank JHVH-1, if I ever get to Oklahomah, I won't be burdened with an outdated map. And forget Australia! How could anyone get anywhere in that place, what with the geography constantly changing and whatnot. It's a puzzlement how those Aborigines managed.

Give it a few thousand years, and those maps would be outdated.

Which is what Eos was saying.

Need some salt with that foot?

An Uruk map? Now we can find the secret entrance to Sauron's lair!

But seriously - no, stop laughing, please - You can clearly make out the letter 'A' above the foot. Obviously an early sign of Cobblers.

Thank you Huntsman, it's great to see that people can recognized that geography is a constant change over the thousands, or especially millions, of years, rather than one or two decades where the changes are less drastic as to make a map of a continent outdated.

There is a meeting of two rivers in my area (Blindman and Red Deer). Every year there are changes. After a flood I hardly recognized the area (even a bridge had to be rebuilt a few meters to the west). My favorite hangout in the middle of the river on a huge rock had disappeared. This made me quite sad.

If anyone ever tried to make a detailed map of the Blindman in any given year then just give it a couple of years and you'll have to change a few of the twists and turns and width and landmarks.

Reunite Gondwanaland!

Alwayscurious,

First...welcome. (And curiosity is -always- welcome. ).

Second, unless you have a good link to info, there doesn't seem much to support the Ahora Covenant.

As far as I know, everyone is still in agreement that the oldest known writing developed independently 3500 BC (Harappa, perhaps), 3300 BC (perhaps, in Uruk/Mesopotamia) - 3100 BC in Egypt. Seems likely the oldest writing is probably from Harappa, but unfortunately there's no translation for it.

Ancient writing is a fascinating subject, but I don't think the Ahora Covenant is part of it.
