Amateur archaeologistGeorge Currie in Dundee, Scotland, has found more than 670 Bronze Age and Neolithic rock carvings, according to The Guardian, during a 15-year search.Perthshire city.

Currie had been interested in archaeology for a long time, but his passion for rock art began after he discovered a strange, undocumented two-meter-long rock carving at an archaeological site.

Currie's discoveries will be part of the largest five-year research project on prehistoric rock art in the UK, which began in 2017. This project is led by the Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and directed by Tertia Barnett, PhD, from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Archaeologists have discovered more than 2,500 carved stone slabs in Scotland, dating from 4000 to 2000 BC. Most of the carvings have indentations on their surfaces, surrounded by concentric circles with expanding lines or grooves.

The original purpose and meaning of these rock inscriptions remain a mystery to this day. Many scholars speculate that they were used to mark territory, symbolize fertility, serve as astronomical markers, or simply as scribbles by prehistoric people.
