20180718_063345.jpg 20180715_163800.jpg This is a strange one. I found this on my new place near Roundup and it's huge and old as you can tell by the moss. It's about 3' tall and must weigh 300 or so pounds. It's made of natural sandstone and has distinct Mayan features. If it was carved by a whiteman he definitely had access to pictures of South American finds. There is no natural surroundings to attach to it I think it was hauled here. There is a new (sort of) shallow drill hole in the side and was obviously on it's back for a long time. Natural moss on the face and heavy on the right. Has anyone heard of local Indians carving stone like this?

Definitely not Mayan or NA. Looks like a modern attempt by a poor artist or somebody looking to fake something.

Cool though, I would have done the same thing, lug it home and find a neat place for it! Thanks for showing it to us!
