This reminds me of a crusader cross!	Posted by Penske666 5th November 2008ce


This kind of carving it's very ancient. It's called Y or "phi" engraves or crossbow-shape engrave. It's a stylized abstraction of human body. It's a cruciform and reminds christian crosses. But was made before Christianity. Those carvings are wide-spread in most of the rocks in the sites of Mount Beigua's Park area often side by side with real christian crosses made by monks to "exorcise" the sites.
