Looks like a galactic planetary alignment chart when you look from the direction the man is facing and the three large on left with two in 11 o'clock position, looks similar to videos now appearing showing a colorful band around the blue and red Kachinas.
Like an "hourglass shape. :eyebrows::horn:

Raiders of the lost marks: How we uncovered the mysterious prehistoric rock art of the Cochno stone
Scientists unearth huge 6,000-year-old stone in order to document it - before committing it back to the ground.

In the foothills of the Kilpatrick Hills, a short walk from the Faifley housing estate and 20 minutes' drive from Glasgow city centre, there is a huge gritstone outcrop covered in rock art. Domed in the middle, it features dozens of carefully carved circular cup marks and cup-and-ring marks across an area of almost 100 square metres. Dating from the third millennium BC, it is known as the Cochno stone.

It should be one of the most visited and talked about prehistoric sites in Britain. There are hundreds of Neolithic and Bronze Age rock art sites across the country, but the Cochno stone's scale, complexity and proximity to an urban population make it unique. Yet it is a well kept secret, thanks to a decision in 1965 by the then Ministry of Works to bury it beneath tons of soil and stone. Some 50 years later, we are unearthing it again.

The modern story of the Cochno stone – Cochno means "little cups" in Gaelic – is equal in intrigue to its mysterious prehistoric origins. It began in the 1930s when an account of the site in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland caught the attention of the eccentric and tireless amateur archaeologist Ludovic Maclellan Mann. He had already undertaken various excavations of Bronze Age sites in and around Glasgow and had a particular interest in the cosmological meaning of prehistoric rock art.

In 1937, the profusion of weird symbols on the Cochno stone inspired in him a burst of well meaning but questionable creativity: he painted the rock surface in various colours. He picked out the cup-and-ring marks in white and covered the stone in a spectacular yellow linear grid of his own devising to try and capture its original cosmological and geometric meaning.

Then as now, there is no consensus among archaeologists as to what the symbols meant to those who carved them. Explanations range from tribal symbols and territorial markers to maps, representations of the stars, and even containers for liquids used in rituals. Similar sites appear across northern Europe, though this is one of the most extensive.

Mann's work brought media attention to the stone and soon visitors came flocking. Over the next couple of decades, their numbers kept increasing as urban Glasgow crept closer. By the early 1960s, the Cochno stone had become a popular place for local people and children to hang out. There was a growing fashion for visitors to carve marks and names into the soft rock, and lots of people were walking on the surface.

Hence the stone was buried for conservation reasons, ensuring it would remain preserved, frozen in time, waiting for future archaeologists daft enough to dig the whole thing up again. That is where I come in, along with digital heritage specialists from the Factum Foundation. Inspired by The Devil's Plantation, a 2013 film about occult Glasgow that featured the location, we decided to uncover the Cochno stone, tell its story, and help the local community get back what was taken from them.

Our plan is a compromise: we are going to digitally and photographically record the stone and then create an exact replica that can be placed nearby. This will allow the real Cochno stone to be reburied and this time rest in peace.

With the support of the local council, a private landowner and Historic Environment Scotland, we have just uncovered the whole stone with a small team and a carefully supervised mini-digger, removing several hundred tons of soil. The local fire brigade then cleaned the surface of the stone by spraying some 2,000 litres of water. During the work we have spoken to several people who remember the stone before its burial, and their powerful encounters have helped keep everyone inspired.

The results so far are remarkable. Not only can we see the prehistoric cup-and-rings marks again, there are traces of Ludovic Mann's paint across the stone including his yellow grid. We can also see dozens of pieces of graffiti, from letters and initials to complete names and dates carved into the rock with varying degrees of artistry and care.

As I write, the Factum team is now making digital recordings of the surface using laser scanning and photogrammetry, which involves using photographs to make measurements. This is one of the largest ever high-resolution digital recording projects of a cultural heritage artefact; the scale is so large some of the data will be collected with a drone. The data will enable us to carefully analyse the prehistoric and modern art on the surface and, once we have raised the funds, to create the replica.

It is tremendous to think that one of the most spectacular prehistoric sites in Britain will soon be accessible again to the public. The future of the Cochno stone has perhaps not looked as exciting as this since prehistory. As we continue to puzzle over the mysteries behind this ancient site, we look forward to being joined by Glaswegians and the nation as a whole.

Note:scroll down to find this.


Starting from the bottom... the 'Z' symbol as Orion has its two orbs decorated with seven icons for Pleiades aspect as well as the swirls on the top part of the 'Z' with cluster of swirls we decoded as showing direction to Pleiades.

Note how the cluster of swirls of the 'Z' touch the cosmic/serpent/dragon/lion/horse. I add all these titles as one because there is evidence and reasoning to combine all that is illustrated in glowing green colour as one source. They should all be catagorised in a new article showing that all these green wisps are plasma ribbon conduits used as wormhole conduits to traverse time and space. The pathways where entities of the past literally 'ride' plasma ribbons which are all sourced from the Tree of Life as explored at Oneism.org

Ride is the key word here and although the top portion of the stela show two Dragon serpents form with swirls forming the cosmic womb of Taurus, the smaller creature personifying/animating the relief is celebrated more like a cosmic horse that my colleague Márton Molnár-Göb identified in a Korean Tomb. Image here ref . Korean Pleiades star map tomb story with it ref .

The top of the head mane of the cosmic horse/dragon/serpent/lion connects to the tripple spiral symbol called a triskele ref which I believe is the Solar Trinity 3 suns symbol.

It is placed as 'being birthed' in the cosmic womb position that matches the tradition of ancient Egypt where the three suns with human origin teaching has a birthing of these 3 sun stars from the womb. The place in legend in Taurus of the beginnings of human civilisation that I have proposed since 2002.

Inside the womb position you can see three symbols on the top and a circle with one swirl and seven dots to denote Pleiades.

But there is more and it will take this all deeper... further and elevate theory to hypothesis ... soon.


ANCIENT PICTISH SECRET SITE - BURIED

While searching for the ancient stones throughout Scotland, I stumbled upon another lead that claimed there was once a massive 30 meter stone platform in Scotland completely engraved with something out of this world, and it was over 5000 yrs old!

This story also mentioned some illogical details suggesting this platform might have had something on it that was not for public eye.

Here is the shocking part... A historical petroglyph platform that was first acknowledged over 70 years ago by some archaeology authorities as one of the greatest petroglyph records in the whole of Europe was deemed 'so important' that they concocted up the most bizzare excuse to protect this historical gem.

The authorities claimed the safe way for this ancient record was not to place a fence around it as per any valuable historical sites but... to cover it up...

... THEY BURIED IT


STAR MAP SCOTLAND - THE COCHNO STONE

Thanks to the recent story revival by some avid book readers of old mystery books, the story went online with a Scottish news website that seems to want permission using cookies to be measuring who visits it. ref

The Cochno Stone in West Dunbartonshire Scotland is absolutley stunning in every sense of the word. It is conclusively the most elaborate cup mark type stone record with markings on it more like a Stargate map movie setting.

There is now hope, perhaps since the story was back in the public eyes again, to dig it up. The rumours of comments made amongst archaeologists seem along the lines that this great burying idea of the platform is illogical. The same thing is occuring with the Easter Island Moai statues that archaeologists spent weeks uncovering then did exactly the same thing... they buried the statues. ref

By the way... is it just a coincidence these two sites that were covered up as an excuse to protect it both have the same ancient star map story?

Fistly I have to add another conspiracy theory to the cover up status with this site. The source images of the layout plan of the Cochno Stone made available to scholars and now the internet is not an exact match with the REAL photograph from the 1950's. The most shocking alteration is the Sol 1 petroglyph I have marked is moved more than a meter from its place compared to the photo.

In my image here I have moved detail back in place to match the image. Compare to the incorrect/sabotaged source image here made available to all researchers ref .

Compare this old 1957 photo below first to the layout below, then with a 'mouse over' action with your cursor on both to see overlay of the highligted colour match. I have added two brown shadows for where the two men are positioned.

Note: please look at the original on Wayne's site.

Conspiracy theories aside, lets explore the awe inspiring detail now made public. The three rings I propose for Orion's Belt are corectly aligned east west. The Pleiades is the only cluster option that correlates with the an appearance of the detail the two men have in front of them. Notice also the radiant lines are from an indentation above Sol 1 Primary 'x' that marks the spot and this is what is being looked at by the two men.

Lastly The position of Orion in the west side of the stone platform correlates back with the early epoch of Scotland where the other stones show it was celebrated above Western horizon.


WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES

If these new interpretations are true for Scotland, then what about the other northern European carved inscription standing stones? The Norse mythology ref of Scandanavia, or the the famous rune stones of Sweden as seen earlier that has the Grail and more. That answer is yes... here is just a sample of one of literally thousands in Sweden. Since it is so old it celebrates the view of star orientation above western horizon like in ancient Scotland. The Chi-Rho legend of Constantine seen in same orientation ref .
