Ok I'm honestly confused now, obviously jubaII your translator is not working everything is seriously garbeled I think your trying to say this is a religious marker of some sort or a burial stone ? At this point I believe that is highly unlikely I'm still trying to discern the marking on top of the rock at this point I'm also tempted to start digging down around the rock to determine if there's any other carvings further down I have found an additional marker that lines up with part of the triangle but the arrow or pointer to the left has me perplexed to its meaning

Still looks like a triangle with a dot in the middle to me, probably saying YOU are here at this spot, then, go to the corners to get the degrees from the dot to the corners using the dot as a pivit point to find the 3 corners, I know that it don't have much room for a compass but use what they give you, I have seen maps laid out using just 2 / 3 inches. I believe that until you get the triangle figured out nothing else will fit either

I agree with dsty. It's just saying there is triangle nearby.

We know very well that America was not discovered by Christopher Columbus was discovered centuries ago before Africans and map of the Turkish admiral and the Chinese before
To put the triangle above the head and feet of Christ in the churches

Leif Erickson was African??? No, my friend, the African continent is not the source of EVERYTHING ... No better or worse than any other at finding, creating, or understanding.

Learn your history before you start making statements such as that.

If the horizontal triangle on the rock we will rely on the direction and sizes and look for 3 X.
That were not on the same rock or in front of him

Hey man definitely look around for other rocks, and even trees with the same or similar symbols!! I know that sometimes they and as in "they" idk know who exactly I am referring to, but hey would but triangles with dots marking where treasure would be. that should be one point of the triangle now you have to find the other two

Next thing you know, you'll be trying to say the rune stone in Oklahoma is hieroglyphics ...

Reality is, you're trying to insert political correctness into treasure hunting. Will never work.

Hello Mark60, It may be that you have more than 2/3 different types of language's or types of carvings, are the small stones found like they were found,

dsty, the white rock which i accidentally posted twice is about the size of a football it is where i found it but this spot is a gravel bar in the river so it must washed down from up river.. wish i knew where, the other rock pics are of course the carved rock from the top at different angles I do see some other symbols such as the wavy line down the middle? and the square? near the edge, not sure of their meaning

Mark60, if it was me I would work each carving separate, I would work the Triangle first, get something with a sharp point ( lead pencil ) that will make a point in the center of the marble size hole, make a mark at each corner with your pencil and draw a line between the corner marks to make a triangle, the dot should be a reference point to find the direction to the corners that should be aprox 300 feet from your reference point which should be marked possibly with a drill hole. Actual distance that I would expect is 189.5 feet ( Cordell ) What you have is possibly a map , First thing is to get a starting point which is your rock with the drawings, you will need a compass, fiberglass 100 foot measurng tape and lots of endurance.

dsty, I have worked off the triangle, the bearings are all very interesting indeed, and there are a couple of markers that do line up with the bottom 2 points I have not found any reference point or marker that lines up with the top point, interestingly though the alignment does not come from the dot to the corner point an on out, but rather straight down the line, top to corner and out, one point is approx 125yds to the marker the other is 60yrds?, I'm guessing cause I was using my cell with a GPS app an i didnt have a very good signal so the range is as-cued
