Paleodolia

Aim: I have collected art/sculpture on stone since I was a child in the late 1970s, and I want to make a digital catalogue of it for you to see.

I am hoping to get help for something that I see as important as any archeological discovery to date, and arguably the most important. 

As a child I couldn't imagine how they expected us to imagine that humans went from ape to Adam to Astronaut, and saw a huge gap in the timeline, and at ten years old I decided to look for me in the past, to see what I would be collecting or looking at it helping with, and I was ten, and two years later I found a stone that was without a doubt a clue to the past, and after that I went on to find so much it's astonishing, and I believe I have the earliest navigation device, and a sculpture of an ape, but looks like early man, but what I would love help with is the art I learned to find.

I found, and learned, how to spot art on stone, and it's not only art, it's the greatest art modern humans will ever see, yes, out of all the art available to us to look at, I feel what I found is more important, and better, and considering it's age, it's more technical than any art you have seen.

This drive/mission isn't against anyone, or any institution, it's simply to bypass the gatekeepers and allow us, the great unwashed to see and make our own minds up. I want to hopefully capture many of the individual images I have seen and each year produce a book without words, just images, so everyone can have their own theories, and as academics will also be seeing everything at the same time as anyone else, and also, they can't just demand we accept their opinions because none of us can ever be sure, unless the image's tell us. 

It will change Archeology forever, and even change how Archeology is carried out, but the biggest change will be to us. I believe that I can guarantee to prove that written language isn't as young as they think, and could even be tens of thousands of years older. I also believe that many people who see the sculptures will immediately say they think this isn't our ancestors. So who is it, well I won't put my theory forward until many others have seen it.

I carried out a test to try and see if I can give this stunning art a basic age, and I had some test pits done that I could show was soil that hadn't been touched, and then asked the BGS what date this soil was and they said around 18,500 years old, but some will be older, but I can say that I know that this art is probably left behind by the melted ice of the ice age, so the art will be dispersed, and can be found on the surface due to the constant turning over of the earth due to building. 

It is also probable that this art/sculpture can be any age, even before the ice age, and it has to be said that this art could be from a civilization that Archeology doesn't know about, and I am not an Archeologist, and don't believe an Archeologist would ever find this because why would they look, but it's real, it shows what could be a record of a time we could only imagine, and could easily be a totally different race of beings, and people will see the character's in this story and say what they see, and it could be they're shown in costumes, but I can't wait for opinions and ideas, and it's real so until we figure out it comes with language that can be translated, we will have to just have say what we think, but science will answer many other questions by examination of materials used, and by future finds, but I in no way will handy collection over to be put in some museum basement because it doesn't fit a current narrative, and that is why I seek funding, because the equipment is out there but universities charge a pretty penny to use it, and I emailed my local university a few times and still have got a reply, and I can say 100% that about 2 people have replied, and both were in America, and considering it's part of our heritage in Britain, it's a shame. 

It's a catch 22 situation, because I asked ai what value one of the sculptures would have, and I described it and they said if I had that sculpture with everything I described, and got an Archeologist to confirm it, it could literally be worth millions, and there's the irony, the stones can set themselves free and show what they have to tell, but the game is rigged against the common collector, and even though every museum has been offered a chance to look at things, none have offered, and the first day a sculpture went on sale they would step in and want it, and that would need more funding for a court case to change the law to state that a museum has 30 days to show an interest, or join the queue of people who also may want to buy it. 

I don't and won't declare to a museum what I think I have, because if you mention a lost civilization they run for miles, and a lot is instantly, without even looking, they just say it's pareidolia, and I understand that museums will get so many letters and things to check, and I also can imagine things that people ask about, but surely they're intelligent enough to see that what I asked about isn't the shape of the stone, and the stone's look mostly plain, so it's obvious there is something different to look at, and I've did this for decades, and it is now time to bypass academia and let them see at the same time as everyone else. 

I will briefly tell why it's hard, and going to be hard for me to accomplish, and that's because equipment doesn't come cheap and holds it's price even when second hand.  

An Olympus DSX 1000 can be around £30,000, and that would do almost everything and even does the photogrammetry of individual images on the sculptures, and I am talking about thousands of images that consist of people, or heads, and also mosaic and scenery and I'm now in my 50s so could well not get everything in a digital format, but I'm sure after a few images are done the museum and universities might offer help, but we need to start it. 

I need equipment like a full frame camera, and again it's too expensive for me alone, but what I have is what others would instantly declare was the "Lost civilization" that they all argue over, and I can stop that argument instantly. People are going to see images that modern eyes have never seen, well apart from me, and I promise that one day there will be copies of this art enlarged and things like the Elgin marbles will be sent back, because the Elgin marbles are relevant and part of history, but they are juvenile in comparison, and imagine taking the Elgin marbles and rotating part of it and then seeing a totally new image, and to produce anamorphic art in stone when they said we're hunter gathering, and the art I think is too complicated to match them, and if all paleolithic art is what they show in caves and shows that as life, then what I have isn't that, and needs to be seen by more.

If I was given the chance to bring this to the masses, then I could go on to make enlarged replicas, and that means employment for others, and a whole new British heritage facet for us to learn about.

This sculpture hobby also made me discover something else that is mind blowing and any money raised for equipment or to get a professional company to help, will also make my latest discovery be seen, and that has also been ignored because it's simply too much for most to even comprehend, but it's coming.

If I can publish books with the sculptures in and it makes money I can then help others, and it's not about money as I am a dedicated carer, and being a carer in Britain means a life of relative poverty. I would do the same in the next life.

This is a genuine request and if I get the equipment I will be flat out producing the images and I see this as one of the most important cultural mission's on Earth, because everything else we knew was there.
