20-30,000 year old recipe

[Ernie]

I was looking in the history books for pre - english (AD1770)
mining activity in Australia when i came across this 20-30,000 year old cave paintint showing how to find water streams, (which usually carry secondary gold/ore deposits).

Divining or waterwitching back then, wasn't a scam, it was a method of survival. So the idea was painted to teach the next generation.


Interesting as well, is that in this series, but unfortunatly not available for free on the internet any more, is a very primitive 20-30,000 year old painting showing how to detect people in the out back bush, and the system is very similar to a YAGI antenna system array.

happy prospecting

For me this is enough evidence for a skeptic to reconsider and reprogram his beliefs or mind.
It must be something real about that when it started so many years ago.
Yes it is something happening here and you don't need to be Ainstein to understand it.

I am a skeptic about 20-30,000 year old methods to build anything similar to a yagi antenna, much less to use this alleged yagi antenna to detect water. It would be easier to believe it is worth investigating if I could see some supporting evidence to show these paintings are the prehistoric method of making a powerpoint presentation on finding people or water through yagi antenna technology. But like all extraordinary claims, the details are never available to investigate. There is always some reason why we can't see the evidence to make our own assessment of the merits of these claims.

At the link from Ernie, I see a lot of very nice cave paintings that would qualify for top quality modern art work. How can we know these are paintings where Australian aboriginies are trying to teach people how to build similar to yagi antennas to find people in the bush or water?

Best wishes,

What evidence? There are on picture nothing related to dowsing. What we can see are only primitive outer Bluetooth components by which they communicate with each other.

Ernie, a few remarks come to my mind:

-How do you know if it was or not a scam. After all men are involved...
-No one says water divining is scam, just a trick of the mind. (untill proven wrong)
-The antenna look more like a LPDA (Log-Periodic Dipole array) than a yagi to me.

Probably scam is there from the beggining of time but it goes off every time something proves wrong.
Has it happened yet for dowsing?
Well as far as dowsing concerns it looks like it kept on going through time for centuries.

The question is about the cave paintings:
What have we seen to convince anyone that these paintings have anything to do with finding water, or with yagi antennas?

I see photos of cave paintings that look like modern art work, not like instructions to find water. What should I look at to convince me this is enough evidence for a skeptic to reconsider and reprogram his beliefs?

It's very easy to find ancient evidences for dowsing, and very easy to misinterpret that evidence. Here is an 8000-year-old North African cave painting:



Would anyone doubt that this fellow is dowsing?

Well after a quick look I had I thought that they hold Y shaped dowsing forks.
Do they?
