Several theories have emerged in an attempt to explain the purpose and meaning behind the Ingá Stone’s engravings. One hypothesis suggests that the symbols represent an ancient written language or system of communication, yet to be deciphered. Others propose that the stone may have functioned as a religious or spiritual site, serving as a medium for ancient rituals or ceremonies. Some even speculate that the engravings are a map or guide, providing directions to hidden treasures or sacred locations. And some go so far as to suggest that a spaceship had landed in the Inga area and the symbols were drawn on the rock by the extraterrestrial guests themselves.
