Mysterious petroglyphs have been discovered on the island of Montserrat, depicting geometric shapes that are unlike anything else. The most mysterious drawings found on the island depict strange humanoid creatures that have caused confusion among researchers. What the ancients tried to convey through these artifacts remains a mystery.
Mysterious petroglyphs depict strange-looking humanoid creatures, as well as a number of incomprehensible geometric shapes. They were carved into the surface of a boulder in a wooded area of the island. According to initial research, archaeologists believe the mysterious images may be over 1,500 years old. Scientists hope that further research will help uncover the meaning of the petroglyphs, which are the oldest in the entire region.
Travelers discovered mysterious carvings in January, but experts decided to postpone the announcement of the find until the authenticity of the petroglyphs was confirmed by a number of independent researchers.
“We have found various Native American artifacts on the island, but we have not seen similar petroglyphs,” said Sarita Francis, director of Montserrat National Trust. "This is the first such discovery found here that we now know about."
Sarita Francis added that researchers are dating the petroglyphs at least 1,500 years old, but further radiocarbon dating will reveal more accurate dates for the images. The true meaning of the carving remains a deep mystery to researchers who were surprised by the discovery of geometric shapes. They believe that the mysterious petroglyphs were carved by the ancient inhabitants of the island about 1,500 years ago.
Francis hopes that future research will help to understand what meaning was encoded in these images, which added the mystery of Montserrat to its distant past.
Archaeologists believe that the first people appeared on the island between 2500-4000 years ago. Below are photos of the mysterious petroglyphs of Montserrat Island. Try and understand what their creators wanted to say to future generations..?
