sasha:
Hello, friends! This stone I found in mountains at level 2700m. At Four Km far from that place at level 1200m was ancient trade caravan route.

Good to see you again sasha.
i can't really see the drawings on the stone.
could you perhaps throw a bit of water on them and then take an other photo?

Hi Sasha , someone spent considerable time carving the rock , must be something of significance . If that rock was in the Philippines it would be hiding the Yamashita mother load   ;D ..cheers Mick

Thanks! Here are close photos of every drawing. Mick is right, the drawings are convex and it was not easy to do it. A next time I'll use water for more readability.

Well one thing's for sure, they were man made. The numeric numbers as we know them today 0 - 9 come from angles joined together (the zero was represented as a circle, no angles)  so it could be that the square represents a 4 and the circle a 0. I somehow don't think that this bit of history will help you much but it may give you other ideas.

Thank You, Xavier! It's very interesting! May be one is the ">" , very close to our "1". There are carvings inside the circle like cross shaped flower. May be cartwheel?

Well i don't know what you have but it's very interesting, a bit like a road sign. Why don't you go to a museum in your area and ask them?

That’s what i had in mind too.
But perhaps it’s not that easy on those parts of the world.
I would sagest perhaps to email the British museum.

Most likely I'll have to pay another visit to this place and make a more distinct images. May be using a side illumination.
Many thanks!
