In response to the original premise of the topic....and with a nod to supernatural/mythology...and still managing to stray off topic..Could carvings in stones and trees(and/or totems) be somehow a way of imbuing them with power(even if they were maps or directions or solar/lunar charts...knowledge is power isn't it?)....Flying Carpets from stories were said to have been given their power of flight because of the patterns of spells woven into them.
Flight and levitation whether by humans, gurus, faeries or angels have always been part of mythology...would this be wishful thinking or something more...a distant genetic memory?

Perhaps we should let Gordon Kingston have the last word on this Mr R.

Writing in his ever elegant language, Gordon's feature The Little Prince: The Open Mind draws our attention to The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. For those who want they can read the feature for themselves and take from it whatever is relevant to them. For me these lines however struck a cord.

“What are we always ranting about on here? Modern hands plucking unnecessarily at the works of ancients’ minds. Or, heedless, letting the same dreams crumble back to dirt.”
