Fascinating glyphs,great to see,thank you for sharing Sir.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

It certainly is a fascinating site, I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Fascinating..such a interesting place. Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs & sunshine☀️ N

I remade this video, I was not happy with the first attempt which was also an early video. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hello Martin, it was lovely to meet you at the Graham Hancock talk at the Mitchell Library on Sunday. Your videos are very interesting, keep up the good work and hopefully see you somewhere down the road... Dan :)

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Hello Dan, nice to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words on my videos. I hope you get to visit some of the Scottish sites. I am adding videos on a regular basis, best wishes, Martin.

[@tbfaerafaifley]

Love your videos. I was born in sunny Faifley. Amazing place to grow up. So much history has been hidden in the area. I showed an Australian Aboriginal elder a sketch of the stone...and they could read it, as a star map and so much more! They also noticed that it was in the northern hemisphere...I and did tell them that..

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thank you very much! That is very interesting regarding you showed a sketch of the Cochno stone to an aboriginal elder and they could read it as a star map etc...

[@tbfaerafaifley]

@BeforeCaledonia The elder was saying that it showed men and women's meeting places also sacred areas. My family have lived there since the first street was built. There was loads of cup and ring stones in the area, most of them covered up but not all. Keep up the good work. I am glad you are doing this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🕊️

[@BeforeCaledonia]

That is very interesting regarding the male and female meeting places and sacred areas. I am led to believe there are a few rock art sites in the Cochno stone area. I might go up sometime and investigate. Thanks for leaving a comment which helps the channel, Happy Samhain.

12000 years ago, the start of the neolithic period, would have been at the age of Leo, or the Golden Age, when the dog star sirius that orbits our sun is at close proximity. This close proximity meant a high electromagnetic resonance to our planet. I believe the stones were amplifiers of this energy. I reckon the Egyptians built the pyramids using this energy, where the huge stones were rendered weightless, in order to be lifted into precise positions. Same in other parts of the world where these huge stone edifices were found.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thanks for the info.

@@BeforeCaledonia Look at the sphinx. You see the body of a Lion, but the head is of a later period, where the pharaoh head has been put on the Lion's body. The Sphinx has been carbon dated to 12,000 bc, and Leo was the constellation that marked that 2150 year period of procession.

Hi Martin, I replayed the interview with Kenny Brophy on the Prehistory Guys again today, and was struck once more by the uniqueness of this site / object and its remarkable history. Do you know if there are any plans going ahead to make it accessible again? Would love to hear of it if there are!

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Hello Sibylle, I have also watched the Prehistory Guys and Kenny Brophy interview, I have also met Kenny. There are a few other presentations on KZbin with Kenny talking about the Cochno Stone. I don't know if there are any plans to make it accessible, If I find anything out I will post it in the Before Caledonia Facebook group, Best wishes from Scotland.

[@garyrmckenzie3719]

I forgot to add that it is nothing to do with art or star maps and especially nut cracking, and there is nothing random about these pictographs. They are all exactly where they have to be and the maps do line up extremely well. Wonderful for a 5000 year old MAP.

Loving the content m8, subbed...from Glasgow btw.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Cheers John! I have made a few videos on Glasgow fetauring Crookston Castle, Bearsden Roman Bathhouse and Pollok Park Earthworks etc... I hope you enjoy them, Martin.

@@BeforeCaledonia I have watched a couple so far but will work my way thru them all. I've really got into local/national history the passed year or so.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

I hope my videos help.

[@4seasonbackpacking]

Amazing wish i known about this. I would love think these 1000s Years old but how can you date carvings and i seen carving that are 200 years with a date carved with what looks like the same wear. I love to think there very old but. There some in Cornwall that are now thought be few 100 years old. Thanks for the video.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

I am not sure how the archaeologists date the carvings, they give us Neolithic dates for these petroglyphs. I do think these carvings are extremely old. Thanks for watching.

[@RussnsRsubHumns]

It is absolutely no problem to date carvings and stones through radio carbon method!

4:34 that spiral circle is called galaxy and that middle in the spiral circle is the sun. so that means there's a lot of galaxy in there.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thank You Anu! A rock art theory is the glyphs are star maps.

[@peterlamont1533]

I thought these marks were now understood as sites where acorns were processed into food. Each acorn needs breaking separately so that the husks can be removed, hence the cup marks acting to contain the fragments. The 'flour' created moves out to be stopped by a ring of pebbles in the circular grooves. Finally, the acorn flour 'pancake' is rinsed to remove tannins explaining the drain groove running from the centre of the rings. Supporting evidence should be found in the surroundings where the round 'pestle' stones used for breaking the acorns should be found. These would have been left at the site for use from one year to the next. Individuals would have had their own collections of small, selected pebbles to place in the grooves and these would have been kept as personal equipment. The source that describes the world wide use of acorns as food is Logan, W. B. (2005) "Oak the frame of civilisation" W.W. Norton & Co. Inc. New York ISBN 0-393-04773-3. Pages 68 to 72 describe, as one of numerous examples, the practice of the Wintu tribe of northern California arriving at an acorn camp and processing the acorns. There is an illustration of cups cut into a large bedrock slab to be used as mortars for grinding the acorns.

Thanks for the info Peter.

[@tconcotelli]

How deep is the Cochno Stone ?

[@BeforeCaledonia]

I mentioned in the video, the stone was 0.5 meter below ground.

[@ony5030]

@@BeforeCaledonia how long is it? I was lucky enough to see the stone that year. I'm sure someone from there said it could be connected to the same type of stone a few of miles away towards Dumbarton. Sure he said it's the same type of markings. So how big is it? Lol I'd love to peel the earth back layer by layer. Keep up the good work. 😆

[@BeforeCaledonia]

I mentioned in the video, the stone is 15m x 8m.

[@andyboyle3536]

if only the person walking on the stone was to take her boots off,maybe thats why its buried again.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

I noticed people walking on it when I was there, it is made of soft sandstone and these glyphs are thousands of years old.

[@andyboyle3536]

@@BeforeCaledonia ye i was at all the digs. I also wrote a story about it for the clydesider magazine.I enjoy some of your content.all the best.

Cheers Andy.

[@garyrmckenzie3719]

Cover this and protect it. It is your ancestors telling you what was important and of significance to them back then so that you can still find all these markings have a reference today. This map is very important and a good copy would be good enough for people to view. Enough graffiti. The mystery of the Cochno Stone is no longer a mystery. It is most certainly a Map. So I personally, shall call it the Cochno Map from now on. The pictograms represent mountains, hills, and significant sights known to people at the time. The lines represent tracks and trails (and maybe streams) of importance. All this can be verified by simply printing out a good accurate diagramme of the Cochno Map on plain paper with inkjet printer (print diagramme as large as possible with small borders on A4) and then SCALE a Google Map with Cochno at centre to the same scale as the diagramme and super impose the google map over the daigramme in front of a desk lamp. Yep it is as easy as that. The hardest part is aligning the maps together so it highlights all the pictographs to google maps. I had no trouble with this. This has worked perfectly for me and should for any who wish to be astounded as to how accurate this map really is. It is easy to do and anybody can do it. If you are from the Dunbartonshire area you are going to be surprised at what and where the points of significance this map locates. It is very accurate. I would dare to say almost perfect. So now you will all know that this stone is a MAP. Only a MAP. The Cochno MAP as I have studied it is one of the most perfect I have seen and leaves most of the European Picto-Maps for dead in its' accuracy. The Judaculla Stone does not even come close. To all people of Scotland and especially Glascow I would hope that you will indeed look after this precious priceless artifact. My only sadness here is that I will never be able to visit this myself and go to any of those places that The Cochno Map indicates are still buried on the Clydebank countryside. It would be most enjoyable for me to see any new discoveries on KZbin. Here is hoping. Thank you to whomever should read this and APPLY the Knowledge. Gary R. McKenzie (Australia)

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Hi Gary, I hope my video brought The Cochno Stone to life for you and thanks for the information.

[@trampertravels]

Has anyone shown this stone to an astronomer?

[@BeforeCaledonia]

A common theory is that the cup and ring carvings are star maps.

[@RussnsRsubHumns]

Scotland is fucking GREAT! I love it! I hope you finally become one fine day independent again from the brits, and i hope you come back into the EU!!!
