Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of hiding a treasure, if you leave a map in the area you hid it in?
I mean...a bunch of stuff carved on a rock wall a few miles off, that only you or someone you sent would know where to look, or a map (rock or otherwise), that you kept with you, and brought back to the site would make more sense than leaving an actual map to your treasure on the site that you buried it at...right?
I love to watch all the "alternate history" type shows....America Unearthed...Who Really Discovered America...Search For Lost Giants...etc., and like I said, I understand that sometimes historians put forth a narrative that isn't what actually happened...but sometimes a rock is just a rock.
Nothing personal...and if you guys are happy with your collecting, more power to ya....I just don't think you need to act like you are the only ones with any knowledge of the objects of the past just because a select few of you actually "see" the things on the rocks. I bet if all you folks that see these treasure signs were to independently list what you see...it would not be the same thing by a long shot....but I bet looking at the effigies I posted...most people would come up with similar things...I mean that one is obviously a monkey wearing a hat!!
