Pretty much like a series of wiggly lines across the page.  Often described as the trails of a herd (or whatever the collective pronoun is) of drunken snails.\n\nTo the inexperienced eye it looks like nothing but to someone who knows how to look at the traces it can show a great deal of information about the subsurface.  The trick is to lie the trace on a table and look along it rather than at it.  All of a sudden the picture is resolved.

To my understanding, from what I saw at this site, it is Greek. And it means climbing, mountaineering.

It is figurative language. This sentence is saying that knowledge or recognition is a flash of light.  One thing is another - a metaphor.

I think it had to do with being the first document that was written in three specific languages (latin, greek, and heiroglyph) if I'm not mistaken... It was the first written document that allowed people to finally read and interpret Egyptian heiroglyphics when it had been a lost language for so long... \n\nnow do your own homework!!!  :)

In the oldest works of art ever put on cave walls, there are images of so-called fetishes, fertility for example, and other enigmatic beings that are only classified as being religious symbolism of some sort. \nSince we can't ask the artist, that's all archaeologists can classify as.

Maybe just a way of describing a number of very small stones...more like sand than stones.  I dont kno what else it could be...:D

It's a biblical reference to Armageddon.\n\nGog and Magog are the biblical names of nations.  Nobody knows for sure who they are, since the bible doesn't get that specific.  Based on geography, though, one of them is commonly held to be Russia.

I know that the earliest recordings of writing were found on cave walls, circa 25,000 - 30,000 years BP, but as far as portable objects on which to record communication ... I would say that you are partially correct in saying a "slab of rock." \n\nNine thousand years ago in the neolithic fertile crescent, we find counting tokens, small pieces of rock on which were inscribed symbols to convey messages -- these were quite portable and widely used. \n\nThen, around 4100 BCE, these small pieces of rock started to become the "slabs of rock" we see depicted, with more and more symbols. \n\nHope this helps! Good luck! :)

It's Pentacle and Triquetra.\n\nThe pentacle has many meanings, but the most basic is the elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Water and spirit. These are the five points. The circle around it represents the circle of life and death, the seasons, etc.\n\nThe Triquetra is a Celtic symbol, representing triads, such as Maiden, Mother and Crone, which are the three stages of a woman's life. It also represents the moon, Waxing, full, and waning, which represent the stages of the Goddess. The Triquetra was popularized by the TV series Charmed.\n\nPagan symbology is very rich, and it's nigh impossible to talk about all of it in even a single volume. Below are a couple sites to get you started.

History of Hieroglyphs and Pictographs?\n\nPictographs are much older than Hieroglyphs, since the former were used in the stone age. However, ideograms are much older than pictographs, as Professor Herman Wirth Roeper Bosch found out and had documented in his many books, written in German. The ideograms go back at least 30,000 years as Professor Herman Wirth Roeper Bosch proved by his publications in the 1930s, yet, they may go back probably many hundred thousand years. (Die heilige Urschrift der Menschheit, The Holy Primal Scripture of Humankind; Allmutter, All Mother and other books by him.)\n\nIdeograms are signs which signify our sacred energies, as Dr. Bara Loveland discovered. E.g. a vertikal line stands for "man" that is, for the true spiritual man, since the line signifies his life energy Kundalini-Shakti, for which the West forgot the name. (Dr. Bara H. Loveland, Der Sonenweg, The Way of the Sun).\n\nPictograms followed soon the ideograms. Pictograms were used as symbols for our sacred energy fields. E.g. the life energy Kundalini Shakti was represented by a snake, then mistaken to mean "snake."\n\nHieroglyphs were developed in ancient Egypt around 3,500 BC. They contain ideograms and pictographs. The initiated can still discover the ideographs of our sacred energy fields in the hieroglyphs, a field Dr. Bara H. Loveland has researched for decades.\n\nWhat can we learn form the ideograms, pictographs and hieropglyhs?\n\nThat the ancient people were highly spiritual, the sacred energy was all they really cared about, wheras we are the ones who forgot our sacred, God-given energy! The symbols in ideograms, pictographs and hieroglyphs still tell the story! However, any symbolization of our holy energy signifies that it is at the brink of being forgotten. What we live, we do not ahve to symbolize!\n\nThanks for this interesting question!\nCordially, India.Magica
