Experts baffled....

[invisibleplanet]

waking up to the radio, this morning, i heard that a news report which said that 'experts' were baffled as to the meaning of some newly discovered paintings by ancient man. the paintings showed a circle, with a series of concentric circles inside, some animals, and some people.

i think i know the answer...
any guesses from the no-future crew as to what they could mean?

maybe?

well - i reckon the concentric circle symbol, means 'water here'
as though it were a diagram of a ripple....

either that, or it's some ancient rave symbol calling people to dance to stone-age vinyl, and make beasts of themselves lol

I think it was a game. called managonda.
I remember my great grandad telling me about his great grandad etc etc.. about this game you play with animals like cows.. you stand in a circle and you must stay in while the cow or bear is angered by a referee. this happens in three circle arenas inside the main game circle, after a certain period of time you must move to the next circle and face a different animal.
The winner is the person who avoids all contact with the rampant animal.

We used to do a lesser version when we were younger. Same theory, stand in a circle and break the stick of a big rocket, light it and stand round - it was a stupid thing to be getting up to though.
