Communication via stones and rocks

Author:
Gruiz Katalin

Ancient cultures used both natural and man made rocks and stones for building up practical and cultural buildings, different formations with questionable functions, carvings for indicating events or marking locations, and for supporting the communication between people and people, as well as people and gods. 

Types of stone formations, their names and functions are  introduced and discussed in a series of  websites, Wikipedia itself has a wide range of collection from geoglyphs, petroglyphs, dolmens, etc. We enlisted some interesting and important links in this topic.
