Has anyone seen anything like these? Do any of these hieroglyphs look familiar??
This artifact was found along the Yakima River along with another interesting piece. It has been distorted in shape causing jumbles of characters..I have only been able to remove 80% of the sediment from these carvings is some images are not seen in their entirety but visible enough for me to know they are not naturally occurring.The reverse of the artifact has underlying images as well but I've not attempted much cleaning because they seem painted on and no carved into the object. There are many references to water and zoomorphic images...maybe a map to fertile hunting/fishing grounds? Or story telling rock? ??Polynesian in origin??
