Writings On Cave Walls In Oklahoma May Be Of Celtic Origin
Posted on: 2010-07-14 05:21:45 The idea that he had discovered evidence of ancient Europeans and Asians in the panhandle of Oklahoma was not unusual to Bill McGlone. He spent the better part of his life examining and researching the petroglyphs that were etched into the cliffs, peaks and caves all around his home in La Junta, Colorado. I first met Bill when I visited La Junta to explore the possibility that an Arabic language, now extinct for millennia, was mingled with the etchings and doodling of the Plains Indians. My first impression was that he looked like Burl Ives and had the gentle friendliness of Captain Kangaroo. He was too weak to rise from his chair and I was soon to learn that his health would not permit his guidance when we examined the petroglyphs. Bill was an engineer and a scientist. He quickly turned the misfortune of his illness into a more "empirical and objective" way for the ViewZone feature to be researched. Bill had drawn a detailed map of the entire region with landmarks and arrows pointing to a cliff and "Look here." Much of the passage was through cattle that were grazing in huge acreage that was bordered every mile by dirt streets numbering, "26, 25, 24...etc.," and, "G, H, I..." My little Geo Prism would have made a brilliant star in some Marlborough, macho commercial. But the map did its work and I finally located a remote part of the National Grasslands and followed the arrows to a narrow cave. http://mondovista.com/ogam.html |
