The Ica Stones of Peru are thought by mainstream science to be a hoax perpetrated by a farmer, Basilio Uschuya who sold several hundred to Peruvian physician Javier Cabrera Darquea. Javier also purchased 300 of them from two brothers who collected pre-Incan artifacts. In all, it is estimated there are 15,000 stones with interesting carvings on them designated in the Ica category.
Basilio eventually admitted he created the stones he sold to Javier Cabrera. But his stones are only part of the total count of the stones. Jesuit missionary, Padre Simon first found stones of this kind in 1525 in Peru. Samples were even sent to Spain in 1562. Many of the stones were dug up in the 50’s and 60’s. More were found under a house that was built in the 1920’s. This may be a situation where a mixture of forgeries are mixed in with legitimate artifacts inherent to the region.
But the main issue with stones from the perspective of mainstream science is that they tell a story of human inhabitants far more advanced than they are thought to be for the historic timeline they are purported to have originated from. The stones depict men interacting with dinosaurs. Either these stones were made at a time of this supposed interaction, 13,000,000 BC? Or in a closer period of the distant past in which it was common knowledge that at some point humanity was present when dinosaurs walked the Earth. Either way, it makes for a fantastic story, which if true, would turn history on its head.
The stones are said to also reference Nazca lines, depict scenes of heart or other surgeries and depict strange gods or beings. The Nazca lines are an interesting connection that play into the narrative of mystery that surrounds them as well.
We can’t really know the genuineness of all the objects unless a methodical stone by stone categorization was conducted, dating an approximation of each stone’s creation, identifying each as either a forgery or a legitimate artifact. It seems difficult to reproduce the level of craftsmanship over the course of 15,000 individual pieces. Thus, this warrants much deeper investigation than has been apparently conducted. It could very well be that a majority of the stones are actually quite ancient, and probably depictions of concepts, histories and other ideations in line with proper historical context – nothing extremely fantastic such as carvings of men riding dinosaurs (yes, this one exists).
There was one book that was written on the subject. Secrets of the Ica Stones and Nazca Lines. The reader with interest is encouraged to investigate the book. I have not had a chance to do so yet. The book purports to prove that dinosaurs and man coexisted at some point in time.
The stones serve as an example of a blended fact and fiction forming a confusing perceptual narrative perceived by casual or semi-serious interested parties. Especially when no detailed analysis from more than one source on the subject in question exists in the public sphere. Uninvestigated mystery brings wild speculation, dubious claims, ulterior motives serving to shape narratives. A busy humanity tags a complex or factually voluminous situation with “true,” “false,” “hoax,” “fake news,” “it happened,” labels and goes about their day. An accretive worldview forms over periods of time.
Ideally, one could imagine a proper catalog, as stated previously, should be created which posts the photograph of every single stone in the collection. There is nothing wrong with categorizing those of dubious origination (hoax) to those that appear to be legitimately very old. One wonders why this isn’t an open source project – a library of stones could be uploaded for public research and consumption while physical inspection, dating of objects origination period could be performed by archaeologists in conjunction with input from the Internet hivemind.
An open-source research approach seems to be appropriate for the stones as an example of placing an oft dismissed, under-researched, possibly anomalous postulation into the hands of various analysts. Thus a denser body of consensus knowledge can be formulated which penetrates to a deeper understanding of the nature, origin and veracity of the Ica Stones existence.
