"the creator" ??

I really cant see anything 3D on that slab.  I need a 2D overview to compare.  Right now, it just looks like a bunch of scratches on a rock.

I'm open to the idea that there could have been an intellegient population on earth 120 million years ago, but that article doesnt have enough information.   As easy as it is to fake stuff now days if this slab/map was real I would expect there to be a wealth of information out there by now,  Its been 3 years since this was found.   I'll believe it when they do a documentary on Discovery or the History Channel,  maybe even In Search of....

One would think that something this stunning would soon have the scientific communities buzzing all over the world. I would wait and suspend judgement to see if that happens. One thing makes me quite skeptical however. It is the last paragraph in the article:

Quote
The find of Bashkir scientists has no analogues. With only one exclusion. When the research was at its height, a small stone – chalcedony - got to professor Chuvyrov’s table, containing a similar relief. Probably somebody, who saw the stab wanted to copy the relief. Though, who and why?


Including this who-dunnit stuff, at the end of this article just doesn't seem like the serious scientific treament you would expect... although it may suffer in the cultural translation.

I agree Gunthr,  the translation seems a bit off and could make a difference in the meaning.   But, hey a find like this should have plaster all over the place by now.

Imagine if it turns out to be that some guy from a primitive culture picked a piece of stone he found deep inside a cave and used it to carve a sculpture of the area he lived in.

120 million year old stone, 1 creative artist from the bronze age... modern day scientists stumped ;)

OK Guys and gals, Stop me if you have heard this one, Long long ago in a galaxy far far away .... there were these three empires, the kinda pinkish whitish dudes, the kinda yellowish group and the really darker shaded ones.  Well they had this really big rumble, but then they made up so they could, "all just get along".  But they had all these really highly trained bad killer types and nothing to do with them.  Hay! no prob there is this planet wayyyyyy over there lets give it to them.  So they load up all the bad types and plop em on the planet they call Botany Ba ... Oops I mean Earth. :D.  Now they do not give the dudes they drop off anything, but one big laminated stone map, they just strand em there and leave.  The fact that they picked up some nasty germs while they were here that ultimately wiped them all out is another story.  But the bad guys they left as far apart as they could so it would take like forever before they found each other again.  WEll!, the germs found the guys they left also but there was something in the water that made some of those left immune.  Any way, they eventually found one another again and just started up the wars all over again, cause after all they were the highly trained killer types to begin with.  
  If I just keep rambling on could I write a book and start a new religion?
 
  If anyone buys any of this I have a Bridge I would like to give you a great deal on!  ;)  :D

It's really slow around here today. :)
