when I was staying at scoor I was told there was a cave with ancient markings in……….soooo…….this had to be seen, I’m one of those weird people who stands amazed when looking at something created by a human hand thousands and thousands of years ago, I wonder at the scenery they saw the flora and fauna, the imagination races, how many people through the years have also looked and imagined,

the cave entrance, this photo makes the entrance look deceptably small but it is a deception as the cave is tall the ceiling is high too high to touch,

the marks were all gouged out, I took rubbings and photos, the photos are poor as expected but I thought some of you maybe interested, I have played with the contrast to get the marks to show better, so the colours of the rock are not true and although the rock shines in the photo it was not wet so it is the flash that created the shine but there must be something in the rock that reflects, I also played with the contrast of the rubbings, first the photo then the rubbing of the same mark,
there were mainly crosses and three pronged forks, some other shapes and gouged holes, I was told the holes are the oldest and believed to be much older than the other marks,
the gouged holes,

I checked my notes and I was told they are 2-3,000 BC,
afraid it is difficult to make them out but thought I would post anyway,

one of the three pronged forks,

one of the crosses,

the rubbings of a fork and cross, the sizes were not uniform but varied,

I am curious about the three pronged forks (a devil symbol) were on one side and the crosses on the other, ofcourse they might have nothing to do with each other, curiouser and curiouser,

the photo of this rubbing did not come out,

there are two marks in this photo

rubbings of the marks


I was told there was a telly prog about them if anyone remembers seeing the programme or has any knowledge about the markings I would really really love love love to know about them pleeeeease,
