Talk:Lake Winnipesaukee mystery stone

Symbols
I wonder if we could find a source discussing the symbols' similarities to Masons' marks. The parallels are striking.--TurabianNights 15:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering if it was odd that there are too many 'indian' symbols on the stone. For example, the tipi was used by the plains tribes and the spiral was a symbol of the southwestern cultures. IN the late 1800's, BUffalo Bills show tapped into the obsession that Americans and Europeans had with the west. If you look at native American symbols, they were a bit more abstract. (Corn, for example) http://www.indiansun.net/symbols_images.htm But as kids, we were presented with images of 'Indians' giving us corn, Tipis, hunting and fishing people (see the canoe symbols and bow and arrows) Besides the machining of the piece, the symbols are overflowing and a bit too obvious to be real.


 * I don't like the tipi in particular. Looks like lifted out of a kids' book. Quite different from tipis in 19th century Native art. Dysmorodrepanis 21:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * My personal belief is that the stone, like many mystery stones, is a fat hoax. It certainly is odd, you might say, that so many stereotypical American Indian symbols are on the stone.  Particularly since tipis were certainly not used in the Northeast.--TN | ! 09:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Just a reminder that Talk pages are for discussing the *article*, not just the topic. Otherwise wikipedia would drown in a sea of gabble. - DavidWBrooks 12:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's obviously a hoax, and that's relevant to this article, which is an embarrassment, citing a letter from an "unknown author" talking about mythical "thunderstones". That's about as far from a "reliable source" as you can get. -- Jibal (talk) 06:47, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Find a source that says this and it could go in the introduction. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:36, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Why an OOPart?
The article should clarify why it is thought that the object is somehow Out of Place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.143.165.245 (talk) 04:26, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

no one mentioned the face
Do I have pareidolia or has no one mentioned the face on the stone? Teastain (talk) 18:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Funny the article hadn't mentioned the face. I added it. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
