Photos of the Grand Junction Ancient Tiled Floor and The Edmund Oklahoma Pavement which went with the article Cliff Rogers sent me are now available for viewing in the Galleries section. If anyone has a jpeg of the Carpet Rocks from Petite Jean Park in Arkansas that we can post here by way of comparison, please send them in. Also, if anyone has photos of similar pavements from their own locale feel free to send them in along with any additional information you might want to add. As I mentioned elsewhere, stone floors similar to the one in Grand Junction are said to have been found in the 30's in Kansas during housing construction. An approximate location would help determine if these are geologically related to the Oklahoma and Colorado pavements. Any artifacts or modifications to the pavements in direct association would go a long way in the artificial vs. natural discussion. One of our members mentioned finding some "cell" like stones in Denton County and we would certainly appreciate any photos of those as well. Eventually, we'll have enough "dots" to connect to the Big Picture, hopefully. Idea

Though I have seen several photos of the famous tesselated pavements at Eagle Hawk Bay, this is the only one I have seen showing multiple and right angled vertical layering.

I saw those same rocks on another forum just this morning! Shocked

The block in the foreground by itself reminded me of the so called "cells" at the "Phoenician Fortress" in Oklahoma. Rex Gilroy once claimed there were ruins off shore there in Tasmania which divers had told him about. Rex is not without his critics, but he doesn't buy into the tesselated pavement explanation and he's one of the very few anomalists who even speak about tesselated pavements. I went along with the mainstream geological explanation completely for a while, but I'm beginning to have doubts again that these are comepletely natural formations. It sometimes feels like being caught between dueling hypnotists.

What's the scale on that pic? Seems to be several feet thick. If it is that thick then I'd vote on it being natural/geological.

The individual pavement blocks are around 18 to 24 inches thick as I recall. Do you think the Baalbek stones are natural geological formations or the temples at Malta and Gozo? It's right to ask the question, of course because the Causeway of the Gods and the monsterous pavements at Cedar Mesa, Utah and Oil Mountain, Wyoming have the same characteristics, and I'm fairly certain they are natural. As I said, I was once 100 per cent certain Eagle Hawk Bay was natural but then until I saw more photos from different angles, I though Nan Madol was natural too. Embarassed

Since Gene Savoy discovered the ancient cities of Northern Peru access has become available to visitors who are willing to rough it a little more than day tripper tourists. Here is a photo of the second level walls of the PreInca fortress of the Chachapoyas called Kuelap. They reminded me very much of the upper levels of the buried walls at Rockwall which were excavated in 1949 by Sanders.

I just got a red X in a white box. No pic.
