Pedra da Gávea

[link to www.mondovista.com]

Basically a disputed face, with equally disputed carvings. I'm not sure where I stand on it, if it's a face, it's probably extremely old, lots of wear and tear on it. The carvings seem a little pushed, mention Phoenician king, the problem being fairly obvious, phoenicians didn't call themselves phoenicians, the greeks did.

Still, strike someone's attempt at reinforcing their own theory, and assuming it's at least partly enhanced by man, it's interesting that it faces approximately towards inland, not out towards the sea, or the coast, where it might impress invaders or locals, respectively.

Instead, using an entirely nonscientific procedure, it more or less points to...Ireland? As in one of the supposed locations of atlantis. Of course, google maps are flat, and I'm too lazy to look on a globe, so hell, could point to egypt or anywhere...

Just thought it might be an interesting distraction for other bored folks. :)
