Millennia Old Mysterious Stone Faces Of Unknown Origin – Who Carved Them And For What Purpose?

MessageToEagle.com – Strange faces and heads carved in stones have been discovered worldwide.

Throughout all ages man has always carved colossal figures out of stone or is it that our eyes are playing tricks on us.

Are these real heads and faces that have been carved into Neolithic standing stones at Stonehenge, Avebury and Callanish and elsewhere or… a random alignment of naturally-weathered shapes?

Stonehenge face
Silently watching us for more than 4,000 years.

Many have tried to answer this question along with Terrence Meaden, a British archaeologist, who was the first to recognize a mysterious and anonymous face on the Stonehenge’s rock.

The face can be seen on the side of a standing stone but normally, it is not easily recognizable.

These millennia old stone faces are most probably as old as standing stones.

Callanish face
The face occurs low on one of the Callanish stones.

“I just happened to be there at the right time of day because only when the light is right can you see it properly. During the summer months it is only obvious for about a hour each day around 1400.”

It is amazing that it has never been recognised before.

The lines mark out the features of the face.

Many of the sculptures are usually difficult to detect and even recognize and the particular viewing conditions are necessary to see it “but once you see it – it’s obvious,” Meaden explained.

But to whom does the face of Stonehenge belong? Most probably we’ll never know.
Yet another face was found on the side of one of the Callanish stones, located in the Western Isles of Scotland and called by the locals the Fir Bhrèige (“False Men”).

To many, the Callanish circles and stone avenues are even more impressive than Stonehenge.

Martin McCarthy, a self-proclaimed skeptic has long studied some photographs of the Callanish complex and according to his opinion “one stone had a pattern on it that could have been a head, so I poked around through my other pictures and found a reasonably clear picture of the stone in question.”

“It has a very clear – to my eyes, anyway – left-facing head with nicely proportioned eye, nose, cheek, lips and chin.”

Is it a trick, an illusion or yet anther mysterious face of someone who deserved to have his face carved into rock?
Not far from Stonehenge, there is another ancient rock complex – Avebury.

In his book Secrets of the Avebury Stones: Britain’s Greatest Megalithic Temple Terence Meaden provides a look at the mysterious stones and the secrets that each of them hide.

Avebury in Wiltshire, the next most important and extensive Neolithic stone structure after Stonehenge, once permitted bearings to be taken on the star Deneb, the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus.
Even there have been discovered enigmatic faces carved into the sarsen, which is silica-based stone. Largest faces can be found on the Great Cove Stone of Avebury and some archaeologists believe that these could represent the people who built Avebury ancient complex.

There are always debunkers and skeptics no matter the subject; they claim that the carved structures are nothing more than a trick of the eye.

Stone faces

Take a look and decide for yourself!

According to those who believe that the faces exist by design, there is significant evidence of stone carving. Given the hardness and durability of this kind of stone, it is unlikely that the faces are the result of any recent process of vandalism, weathering or erosion.

Some scientists believe that the large number of faces indicates that the original builders saw the stones as either living entities or the representation of the same.
Did someone in the distant past carve these unknown faces into the rocks of the El Cajon Mountains?
“I have seen that mountain thousands of times. I used to be the bus driver 30-something years ago fro the Lakeside Union School District.
I have never even thought of there being a face on it, said Elmer Jenkins who lives on the El Monte Road.
Why should we dismiss the possibility that someone in the distant past would carve faces and heads into Neolithic standing stones at Stonehenge, Avebury and Callanish?

Time after time we are confronted with discoveries that challenge our views of the past. Perhaps the stone faces in United Kingdom, or found on El Cajon Mountain are simply more than natural formations.

Anyway, either nature is having a great joke on us or the formations are man-made, because prehistoric rock sculptors wanted us to confront, one day, with prehistoric symbology.
