The Mystery of Brazil’s Ancient Ingá Stone Might Have Just Been Solved
Just a thought from the author of this article: Since we are talking about a riverbed, could the horizontal line carved above the figures denote the water level during a certain period of the year? Image credit: Lucia Barreiros da Silva
A recent study by Telma Costa takes the language theory one step further by arguing that besides the verification of the origin of languages that evidently derived from the botanical knowledge, the Ingá stone reveals an ancient people’s knowledge of the fertilization and crossing of the Ingazeira (a type of Brazilian tree).
“The flower of the angiosperm species that, as biologists usually present in their cyclic schemes, is found in the middle of the ground so that we can see its interior and the way in which a double fertilization of the species occurs, is described in the stone of the Ingá. This means that the stone of the Ingá brings in its curious figures nothing more than symbols representative of the lunar cycles referring to the time and the double fertilization of the angiosperm, referring to the flower of the Ingazeira,” he writes.
