Ancient Civilizations Quiz for ATSers

I had this idea the other day. Maybe is a good way to stimulate new members and challenge the older ones and mods/staff. Usualy I don't have too many posters in my threads so lets see what happens...

I'll post a pic and a clue (eventually more clues will be given) . Try to Identify the culture and location. Winner has the chance to post another photo and clue, to start another quiz. Good luck !

Here is th first quiz :



(Don't get distracted....you know what I mean ).

The clue : "Kauffman"

The pic looks manipulated. the stone head doesn't have a constant texture.

I could be wrong but... that was my first impression.

Thanks for your post. The rock is real. The monolith had been studied by archaeologists. (oops....gave another clue).

That would be Bunnell, Florida-----just a guess of course------Timuccuan Indians-but I don't think lady picture is actual indigenous specie. lol

In 1995 this stone achieved much importance and was visited by Peruvian archaeologist Federico Kauffman, with other domestic and foreign scholars, who confirmed its Pre-Inca origin, signs are pointing orientation points directly to Cuzco Imperial capital (and other observations scientific eminently) between the signs carved a cross, an X, three figures of the sun, a human hand on the left side slits in different parts of the body that has many similarities to vestiges of the Chavin culture and was carved sign of wealth

Several scholars have pronounced them fakes. In November 2012, A regional BBC News investigation also pronounced the codices to be fake.

Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, an ancient neolithic graveyard.

reply to post by Atzil321


You are correct.

Six miles from Urfa, an ancient city in southeastern Turkey, Klaus Schmidt has made one of the most startling archaeological discoveries of our time: massive carved stones about 11,000 years old, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people who had not yet developed metal tools or even pottery.

You're up..

Awsome Trurman
