A little help ... Please

[Old Dog]

I know that I don't post in this forum too much as I don't collect Artifact's.
But I do collect pictures of monuments I have found, and thus my dilemma.

I found this face Friday while climbing, I was looking at Spanish stuff and this was among the things I found that didn't fit.

I know it isn't Spanish It is much older.
I don't think Anasazi made things like this,
and our local Utes didn't either.

Anyway, I figured you guys who study this stuff could at least have a look and give me your opinion.
Thanks very much in advance...

Thom

They're natural.

We see all kinds of shapes in the limestone bluffs near here. My wife sees them and she'll inevitably ask, "Now how did they get that way?" I always answer "Nature." But she's going to make the same remark about the next rock she sees.

A lot of this can be attributed to different personality types.

I don't believe that Earth has ever been visited, is being visited or will ever be visited by aliens. It's a waste of time trying to convince people who believe otherwise. And nothing would be accomplished anyway. The world need imaginative people just as much as needs skeptics.

I'm sure someone here has seen the once-great granite 'Man on the Mountain' in New Hanpshire's White Mountain range (before it crumbled). A LOT more 'facially acurate' than the photos I'm seeing here... and completely nature-made.

Errosion (of all kinds), earthquakes and glaciers are formidable forces, creating wonderful, and often haunting 'sculptures'.

Certainly arguements can be made for ancient monument-builders. Easter Island has its monolithic scultures, South America has linear 'drawings' which can only be identified as such from the air. I'm sure there are such things the world over which I've not learned of or have yet to be discovered, however, it must be noted that anything ever discovered of a scultural variety has been pretty much HIGHLY identifiable as such. I do think, however, that native Americans did admire the work of mother nature as much as we do now- and very well may have settled in areas where such 'sculptural' natural anomalies were visible and aparent.

This all reminds me of a game my dad and I would play when I was a kid-- shortly after I saw the 'Old Man on the Mountain' probably for the first time-- we'd stack rocks (never a shortage of them in Connecticut), and he'd say- look! see it? there's the chin, there's the lips and nose There's the forehead... a good game for an imaginative child.

Sometimes it's important to just appreciate, and not to disect, lable and date. Just my humble opinion.
