Panama Megalith with Rock Art Found


Panama Megalith with Rock Art Found

BBC NEWS carries a February 2, 2004 story at Rock discovery causes excitement about a large megalith covered with rock drawings just found in Panama by Julian Chenoweth of Cornwall, England. The megalith is dated to ca. 3000 BC, weighs 30 tons and is ca. 17 feet (5.18 metres) high. The linked page at BBC has a photo of the rock, showing a large lizard, and - as I have found - cup-like marks similar to those found at the site of the Peterborough Petroglyphs in Canada. Other figures are possible, but hard to tell from the photograph.

The archaeologist, Julian Chenoweth of St. Mawes, who works with the Scientific Exploration Society,
is quoted as saying:

"I believe the rock is a ceremonial place or a boundary marker for a tribe's territory."

The presence of this megalithic rock in such a faraway place as Panama fits in with the theory of Andis Kaulins in his book Stars, Stones and Scholars, claiming an ancient survey of the earth by the megalithic peoples ca. 3000 BC, whereby the megaliths in fact served as boundary markers for ancient man and were "sighted in" by astronomy, a record whereof which was inscribed on the stones.

In fact, we can explain why this rock is exactly where it is. This area of Darien, Panama, near the Pacific Coast of Panama toward the far SE side of Panama, near the river Sambu, is the same distance from the Miami Circle in Miami, Florida, as the Miami Circle is from the Peterborough Petroglyphs in Canada - ALL ON THE SAME DIRECT LINE. The Peterborough Petroglyphs are roughly at 44 degrees north, Miami Beach is at ca. 26 degrees north and the Panama Rock is at approximately 8 degrees north - this is a distance of roughly 4000 km using 2000 -2100 km long segments, which fits in with the distances used for survey in North America in 3000 BC, according to Kaulins' book. Additionally the Panama Rock forms a triangulation with the Miami Circle and Teotihuacan, at ca. 20 degrees north. In other words, the Panama Rock is a major cornerstone of the survey of North America ca. 3000 BC by the megalithic peoples.
