New archeological site discovered in Kenting’s Oluanpi. The site seems to be used for prehistoric shell tool manufacturing, with artifacts found dating back 3,800 to 4,200 years. Shell tools made at this site were then taken on voyagers to other Austronesian islands.

There are also 51 burials found at the site in stone coffins and they were buried with coral burial artifacts.

4000-year-old rock art from a previously unknown culture discovered in Venezuela.

Is it just me, or do those look like Oracle bone characters?

There’s tree 木 on the bottom right. Farm 田 on the top.

X could be 5, or 巫 the oracle, XX could be 爻 which is prophecy made by the oracle.

Dots looks like 雨.

There’s a 大 looking shape next to the farm.

On the right, there’s a 麥 looking shape, that looks like a crop of some sort. Maybe 黍 or something similar.

I mean… if I am to interpret this, the rock art is someone asking for a divination for rain so they can grow their crops.

Could this place in the Manila Bay be the ruins of an ancient city in the bay?
