Throughout time, humanity has searched for 'The Unicorn'. I believe that I have found an exacting photographic image of the creature embedded within a petroglyph.

I have published my research pertaining to this discovery at:

http://www.impactoptics.com

The reflection from this petroglyph is likely not what you would expect. The Unicorn and The Leviathan (as described in the book of Job 41: 1,34 KJV) also appears to be emerging from his creator's right arm. The image reflections appear to be somewhat of a phenomenon or miracle.

I was just looking at the clouds outside of my office window. I see a bunny rabbit and what appears to be a derby. I'll try to track down bible references to support my phenomenon or miracle.

Why do people continue to assume the creatures like Levi'athan were depictions of real creatures simply because they were included in a book of mythology?

While there MAY have been a real creature as the basis of the unicorn (rhinoceros?) or Levi'athan (crocodile?), a lot of licence was used to make these creatures more fearful, such as the ability to snort flame or lightning. This is a common fantasy treatment given to mundane things when their true nature is clouded by ignorance.

Also, I have to disagree that the 'unicorn' in this stone is a true petroglyph. It looks to me to be simply a coincidence of fracture lines in the broken rock that someone has fancifully imagined an image to reside in.

I have just as much faith in the one-time existence of a unicorn as you have in the book that you reference.....so I suppose, the opperative word here is faith, right?

The biblical scripture (Job 41: 1-34 KJV) simply defines a glyphic reflection from a petroglyph. The photographic image enhances the scriptural significance with the visual display.

The image is a true hologram and reflects from all visual angles or perspectives. The fact that a visual image replicates biblical scripture defines an Omnescient source of fabrication. The fact that the image requires advanced technology to reflect, may have been intentional. By definition: a petroglyph is an image etched in stone. The Unicorn Petroglyph and The Genesis Petroglyph conform to that definition.

Take any of the attached images and run them into MS Photo Editor, Adobe Photoshop, etc. and perform an invert function (a negative). Not magic, just an ancient and very sophisticated method of communication that requires translation, similar to the DVD that requires a player.

The image reflection from the petroglyph is a scientific reality and can be replicated at any time and place under the correct spectral conditions. I was under the impression that understanding phenomena was the forte' of this group...It appears I was wrong!

^I tried that, and the result was cool. But still it doesn't prove anyhting about both the Unicorn and The Leviathan. Cool stuff tho!

Some things have great significance to some people while those same things can hold no significance to others. Sometimes neither are right or wrong as it depends on perspective more than an absolute. I think this is one of those things... pretty cool looking.

So, will there be a unicorn in my room tonight now, or is this not the same concept?

Ehmm...isn't this just a case of pareidolia? If there were many or even several such stones with similar 'images', I might wanna take a closer look - but there's just the one. So, sorry, not convinced hmm.gif

The Unicorn Petroglyph is part of a library of petro photoglyphs (stone artifacts that reflect photographs) left behind by ? I have personally collected hundreds of similar artifacts. The Genesis Petroglyph contains detailed images of ancient deities, their sign and symbols. The stone also reflects a detailed image of the ark as depicted in the very 1st tale, inscribed on cylinder seals in the ancient cuneiform. I am currently deciphering an embedded star map contained within the glyphic image of the God who saved humanity, deciphered from the Altrahasis. The star map is part of the communication system contained within the artifact. The map appears to locate an unknown celestial object. Given the deluge tale and the fact that the artifact also contains reflections from the Mayan God Pacal II, it appears that the message may have significance to modern humanity.

Nope, sorry, still can't see what you're seeing at all. Still looks like pareidolia to me. I don't mean any disrespect, but...no, positively pareidolia.

I can appreciate your effort though. So, good luck with your research thumbsup.gif

I actually know someone who have a collection on petroglpyh. Like those on limestones and jade. One of them have the picture of our country's first president (yeeeaaahhh....wow rolleyes.gif ) and some other pictures, I'll see if I got one, I'll post it to you.

But still, I don't see any significant connection between these petroglyphs and cryptozoology.

QUOTE
Perceptions of religious imagery in natural phenomena include perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many instances that are reported involve images of Jesus or other Christian figures seen in food, but it has an equivalent in the Muslim world where structures in food and other natural objects are perceived as religious text in Arabic, particularly the word Allah or verses from the Qur'an. Many religious believers view them as real depictions of miraculous origin; the predominant scientific view is that such perceptions are examples of pareidolia.

No, you were not wrong, your approach was. You mentioned the Bible, had you said " a being from an alternate dimension", you would have had volumes of support, it's simply that religion is not "cool" in Western cuture, therefore your ideas will be dismissed before they are even read. Most members have no problem believeing in Goblins, Werewolves, Vampires, but the Bible - no way!!! Pretty darn hypocritical really. The one thing that I find ridiculous about that is there is proof outside of the Bible that Pontious Pilot and Jesus did exist. The records show that Pontious killed Jesus the carpenter, any miracle stuff is up to the believer, many seem to take the Bible as litteral rather than a guideline to being nice to each other, but written record will show the MEN did exist. That's where skeptics stand in and rightly so. I support them 100%. The Bible is not an encyclopedia of the history of everything. In fact, even the flood was to be interpreted as there is no evidence of a World wide flood ever occuring. If you wish to be taken seriously, be wary of your factual source, make sure it is indeed factual by modern standards, not by anothers interpretation. Even religions disagree on the interpretation. How can any one person have it right? How can it be used as evidence of anything under these circumstances?

No Unicorns have existed, that was your second mistake, and I quote

Now, from the images you have posted, a great deal of people have screamed paradolia, and for the first time in UM Paredoilia history, I am not taking that option. It does look like some weak etchings of figures may be in that worn stone, yet to call this proof of mythical creatures is not going to boost your credibility. Nor is it in any way the slightest possibility that it represents proof of Unicorns. People have always carved into stone, if you remember way back, we didn't have paper (toilet stone anyone? LOL OUCH), and all paintings, etchings etc were on stone. We still do it today, have you seen those neat crystals that you put a light under and it enhances the internal laser etching? They look fantastic. They offer as much proof as the stones you have displayed.
In short, people have been practising art for thousands of years, this seems to me to be a fine example, worth preserving but by no stretch of the imagination proof of Unicorns and the Leviathan. We love to discuss any worthy idea, but please leave the creationist claptrap at the door.

I dont agree, after looking at the site, I'm absolutely sure beyond a shadow of doubt (Emma thumbsup.gif ), these 'images' are pareidolia... I think anyone with an imagination could find similar 'images' on any stone with lot's of features like these supposed Petroglyphs, especially after applying various graphics filters, cloning parts of images and flipping them to 'create' symmetry, and flipping images to reveal 'star maps' (I guess the aliens from Orion knew someone would find this ‘artifact’, take a picture of it and flip the picture to reveal the secret map... riiight). IMO

BTW, the Unicorn image is from INSIDE the fractured stone, do you really think someone etched it inside the stone? just wondering
cryptkeeper
I'm new to this site and thought this would be a good forum topic to wet my feet. Here goes...

I have looked at these pictures every which way and can't see what the guy is trying to say are there.
I honestly think that he is either seeing things himself or is manipulating the images to make it look
like what he wants it to look like.

Though I would love it if the ancients saw Unicorns and whatnot and drew pictures of them for posterity, I just
don't have much hope that it could be true.

I thought that the story read that the stone was purposely cleaved. Perhaps I skimmed it a little. I only found it mildly interesting and I thought it looked like a horses head. As Petroglyphs are worldwide, I didn't think it much of a stretch to consider it another stone carving?

And the third mistake was somehow claiming a unicorn is the Leviathan. That is as ridiculous as saying a cat is an elephant. The leviathan is described in great detail, and most people say it is either a flame spewing crocodile, or a west-asian mythic dragon, but NEVER a horse with a horn coming out of its. head. Nothing about it suggests a horse. Since when are horses covered with scales, and has sharp teeth and claws?

You folks just don't get it! Of course I have been dealing with artifacts from an unknown (alien) intelligence...fabricated by a technology years beyond our current capabilities. You expect aliens to resemble your worst nightmares when in reality they were the Gods of Mythology and Religion.

You dig into your verbiage cans and come up with the big word 'pareidolia'...have a laugh or two at something you don't understand. Not one of you bothered to read the detailed research report: http://www.impactoptics.com/PetroPhotoglyphs.pdf

You pass judgement without a clue. Leviathan is a transliterated word from the ancient Hebrew language meaning coiled or swirled. The bible contains numerous and different descriptions of the Leviathan. The reference in Job 41 was used to define an image reflection from a petroglyph...an image of The Unicorn...and there was only one! Who would bind a dragon for their maidens? The biblical description is quite accurate if you look at the detail of the glyphic image structure.

The Chinese Unicorn hosts a full body of scales. The one in the petroglyph only supports scales (or plates) on his face...as described in Job 41.

No bible thumping here folks...just using the book as a source of information. Not preaching to anyone...I just thought a real image of something you have only heard or imagined might be of interest...And again it appears I was mistaken.

Hrrmzz, perhaps somewhat, the reaction could be regarded as dim at best. Don't be disappointed, Unicorns don't carry a great deal of credibility.
This board gets flooded with creationist rubbish all the time, not the place, people here do not want to talk religion, we wish to discuss cryptids, easy to confuse your agenda considering your source of reference. Don't get mad, understand.
Pareidolia is common occurence on these boards, I am sure you could understand that as well.
So you are saying this is supposed to be a depiction of a "one of" animal, the mythical Unicorn, which is also the Leviathan? I am getting a wee bit confused here, I sure hope you have studied up, DC knows this stuff in quite some depth, no offence, but he has my money riding on him for the outcome of the Leviathan debate. Can you brief me up on the Unicorn, I take it the creature you speak of is quite different to the one in my daughters Barbie movie, or the Wikipedia decription, which is quite broad and covers several cultures.
Not sure about the alien bit you refrence briefly, perhpaps more info in another post. I for one am interested. I have only skimmed the page, best I get back to that link and have a closer read.
I think it is a carving of some sort, and as such, I find the story interesting. Was the rock purposely cleaved after the find, or cleaved before the find? I really think the Biblical reference is a knee jerk hopefull reaction at this point in time, however, ancient art is important to study. At least the reaction has brought this piece to my attention original.gif

Petroglyphs

because mythology is oral history which we have not evidence about. and don't tell me that folklore is not a part of your culture...

i believe in unicorns to be either magical creatures like keepers of natural secrets, inter dimensional beings or genetically adulterated horses. take your pick on this one.personally gravitate towards magic coz its suits me....unicorns supposed to be drawn to virgin female wizards.

same as the Leviathan which was a massive fish i believe the one that saved a saint..hmmm.......Johna's his name not sure....

Oh, but you've seen "hard core evidence" for the existence of unicorns? Was it film, video, or animated?


I'm gonna take a stab at it and guess that it was a YouTube or Google video.... rolleyes.gif

You posted nine words to a thread over a year old.

Of topic sorry but Incorrigible1 why does it matter that someone posted a reply to such an old forum?...I have notice people jumping on others just because of them replying to something older than a couple monthes up to a year maybe more but the point is the forum is still there to be read and still there for people to leave there opinions. If it was such a big deal the older ones would be discarded and I thank Sedai for bringing this forth because for me it was an interesting read.

Knock yourself out searching the archives of the forum. Search and read all you wish.

What's the use in posting to threads last active 14 months ago? If one finds something interesting, and truly has something to add, why not start a new thread? Many of the posters that responded to this thread, when it was fresh and new, are no longer active on this forum and not on the Crypto section.

The amazing thing is that the vast majority of necro-posters are very new to the U-M.

That's my take. In all honesty, I thought necro-posting was frowned upon in the forum rules. Upon double-checking, I find no reference to the practice. So, if anything, I learned that much here.

Thats just it though....if some post a "new" thread on this then they would just get knocked on too by others saying this was already done so why not just put in your opinion since its already posted? Anyways....JMO. Its kind of a no win situation when it comes down to it. Just thought id point out we need to stop knocking eachother for voicing our opinions on older material or older material that has been done but the newbie to the UM didnt know about so they posted it as new.

Personally, I'm perfectly fine with folks starting new threads on topics 14 months old. grin2.gif


Edit: I see the poster hasn't posted his "hard core unicorn evidence." I'll not hold my breath.
