The Images on the Ica Stones (Part One)
The most controversial aspect of the stones of Ica are the images themselves, for they seem to defy the accepted version of the history of the region.
This in itself should be a clue that the stones themselves may be far older than modern archeologists are prepared to consider, and that they may have been carved by the survivors of an advanced culture that once lived in the region, that was destroyed in an enormous cataclysm many thousands of years ago.
The other aspect of the stones that challenges accepted thinking is that they show clear evidence of things which, according to modern historians, simply could not have happened. Rather than consider the evidence that these stones depict, they prefer to reject them as modern fakes.
According to website of the Association, the images represented in the stone collection assembled by Dr. Cabrera are described in the following words:
“The immense collection of ancient carved Ica Stones called “gliptoliths” comprise a sophisticated library left behind by an ancient lost civilization including images of medical transplants and blood transfusions, men with dinosaurs, and advanced technology such as telescopes and surgical equipment.”
“The library is organized by subject matter including the races of man, ancient animals, lost continents, and the knowledge of a global catastrophe. The late Dr. Javier Cabrera spent over thirty years of his life endeavoring to decode the mystery of the stones. Early Spanish chronicles reported similar stones found in ancient pre-conquest tombs; Cabrera’s collection numbers upward of 11,000 stones with more than l5,000 known to exist.”
In a collection comprising more than 11,000 stones it is impossible to do justice to them by way of a few images. If sufficient funding was available, the entire collection could be assembled into a digital database that would allow researchers around the world to examine them in detail.
Obviously, any stone image portraying human beings together with dinosaurs is sufficient to cause them to be rejected by modern historians, who believe that human beings and dinosaurs never co-existed. Nevertheless, this is what is portrayed on these stones, along with the many other subjects listed above.
The fact that images of ancient dinosaurs, that have only recently been discovered by archeologists, should appear on stones supposedly created thousands of years ago has been hard enough for sceptics to swallow. But when more stones appeared showing human beings being devoured by dinosaurs, the entire phenomenon of the Stones of Ica became the butt of scientific ridicule.
Since the age of the dinosaurs is considered to have been terminated by an asteroid strike some 66 million years ago, and since the earliest traces of hominid man extend back in time little more than two million years, the idea of human beings interacting with dinosaurs would seem ludicrous in the extreme.
Those scientists who rejected the origin of these stones as mere opportunistic fraud, found even more to laugh about when other stones emerged showing human beings interacting with domesticated dinosaurs, as can be seen in some of the images below.
