The Neanderthal Stone
Fig 1 Photo of Neanderthal Stone, side A
This stone, Fig 1 was picked up originally outside the Ravne tunnel in Visoko, whilst visiting the site of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, Bosnia and Herzegovina, before it was scooped up by a backhoe to be used for road fill, after being disposed off by the volunteer diggers of the Ravne tunnel.I picked up this rock because it was unusual, it looked very much like a deformed rock with a very unusual back which appeared to have been chiselled off a larger rock for some reason.On careful examination, it became apparent that there is a profile face on it in all its glorious detail.See Fig 2.

See Fig 3 for closest resembling artefact found in Minoan Crete, clay stamp, from 1700 to 1600 BC.
As you turn the stone it gives you different images. One angle shows a thinking man or might even be the first ever depiction of a devil, holding a round ball, signifying man's soul, in my opinion, Fig 4. At the top left, a small script beside the right ear, Fig 5.

The symbols, Fig 5, reads as follows: 'For them at this place God is the Sun'.
Fig 6, Photo of Neanderthal Stone, Side B, chiselled side
The Stone, Fig 6, is the chiselled side of the stone in Fig 1. This is of great interest because, at first appearance, there doesn't seem to be any detail on it. Further study, and following reproduction and some highlighting, it reveals the profile of a Neanderthal Man, see Fig 7. This type of imagery is completely different to the flip side. Is it possible that this was created by two different races? With two very different ways of expressing their artistic skills? Or was it that Neanderthal man could see images differently to our vision?

This rock also appears to have symbols on top of the right ear region. See Fig 8. This then begs the question, did Neanderthal man know these symbols? These symbols are found throughout the cave system at the Ravne tunnel.Did Neanderthal man design and use these symbols, if so, did he have a religion, and did he create this ancient masterpiece in the rock or was it a combined effort with Homo sapiens or just smart inter-breeding of Neanderthal man and Homo sapiens and in turn create modern man and his genious?

Fig 9 Replica of Neanderthal Stone, Side A and Side B, highlighted
Side by side two great faces, two great races of mankind, stare in each other's eyes as equals. What a great depiction of people in our world, people in our very distant past. Surely this must prove that early man may not have invented computers, but he certainly rivalled modern man in creativity and inventiveness. He did not need paper and paint to leave us his image. Instead he used stone, something that lasts throughout the ages. Creations like this are being discarded at the Ravne tunnel. Please help stop this thoughtless waste of mankind's heritage.
The Pyramid Stone

Fig 10 Pyramid Stone, Side A Fig 11 Pyramid Stone, Side B
This stone was picked up inside the Ravne tunnel, because it had the same characteristics as the Neanderthal Stone. One side is smooth, the other side appears chiselled and on the smooth side there appears to be a very lightly scratched arrow with a tip, just like the ones on the megaliths, inside the Ravne tunnel. Whilst studying the stone and the arrow sign on it, I placed the stone next to a picture of the Pyramid of the Sun brochure, see Fig 12, and realised the top of my stone resembled the exact line of the Pyramid. This was the time when I knew that I had picked up something very special. The significance of this stone after further examination, with different methos, made it obvious to me how very special this stone is.

After realising the significance of this stone, I conducted further testing, and extracting the messages from it, bit by bit. It became very obvious that I was dealing with something which could most probably be the most important stone discovered to date at the Ravne tunnel site. This piece of stone is carved so finely that without special enhancement it is invisible to the eye. The skill required to produce this work, was phenomenal, and saying that, the stone could only have belonged to an extremely important and powerful person. To think that this kind of skill was possessed by man is fantastic. To verify that this skill was practiced by stone age people is beyond words. This stone age artisan, created a composition so fine that it cannot be seen by the naked eye. Yet when enhanced, it opens up into a fantastic composition, which projects a different image from every direction. This would be very difficult to achieve in this day and age with the technology we have to aid us let alone in the days of early man.

This special site, the Ravne tunnel and Pyramid of the Sun and the Moon, where this ancient, as yet unidentified culture flourished, must be protected and preserved for humanity.
There is so much we could learn here, after all we are talking about civilizations past. I doubt there is another site like this in existence, where there is the largest pyramid in existence although, in my opinion, it is earthen made, that could only enforce that it could also be the oldest pyramid on earth. We also have these beautifully crafted stone objects and possibly the oldest dry walls in existence not to mention a very real and acceptable earliest form of writing to date.
In my opinion we have a religious complex unrivalled to date, being the Sun and Moon Pyramids and the Ravne tunnel, where countless ceremonies, rituals, must have taken place. We also have the earliest of religions present which lasted for tens of thousands of years, without change, right down to the Etruscans, and even further to the Szekely Magyar Hungarians only a few hundred years ago. They were all using the same symbols for their writing. Is it possible they might have been the same race of people? The script expresses the same message in all three cultures. It must be pointed out at this stage that the Tordos Vinča culture used the same symbols with the exact same purpose and translation. This writing was well spread over the entire European continent and in some cases to different continents.
A clay dish (see Fig 14 B) excavated in a suburb of Belgrade, Serbia, beneath eight point five meters of soil, with symbols etched inside it, belonged to the Tordos Vinča culture (see Vinča Symbols), it was carbon dated to 4000 BC. The sequence of the symbols strangely or maybe not so strangely resembles the sequence from the Etruscan Pyrgi gold tablets 3500 years later, 500 BC, see Fig 14 C.

Side A stones above, if you look on the top right hand corner of Fig 15, symbols are present and also if you look in the middle of the stone, there are five symbols going across left to right.These symbols are in my opinion, Religious, and more specifically, are blessings.The top symbol is a message saying God be with him and the symbols going across the centre of the stone, Peaceful God is with him in the grave. Every which way you rotate the Pyramid Stone, it projects a new image of ancient faces and dress.I believe that this Stone has a message relating to a significant burial that had taken place in the Sun Pyramid.

Fig 18 Pyramid Stone, Side B replica Fig 19 Pyramid Stone, Side B, replica
Side B, the chiselled side of the Pyramid Stone, shows that there is someone very important being buried inside the Sun Pyramid. I cannot express the importance of this site.
Throughout the years I spent on my research, it became very obvious, that at the moment, it seems like Civilization in my opinion most definitely started out in Europe, with a good chance, that, to be more precise, in the Visoko Valley.On these basis, World History may yet be re-written to reflect the truth about Mankind's cultural beginnings and to give credit to the people responsible for it and to acknowledge the race of people who against all odds continued it to the present day.
The diggings at the Ravne tunnel, are a huge worry, as the bulk dumping of all excavated material, along with possible irreplaceable artefacts, is being carried out without any control. Is history turning into road-fill?I don't believe the tunnelling should cease, I only would like the material tunnelled, to be sifted through by someone knowledgeable who would recognise and save any messages left to us from the past.At the least, it should not be taken away from the Valley.It ought to be saved for future generations who may have the patience to search the fill and identify any important objects.
