However, the stone carvings and arduous work intensity with animals sculptures in particular, appears to have been from a time earlier. Most likely from animal worshiper tribes, practicing "zoolatry", and some "zoomorphic". A time closer to prehistoric Europe, of 20,000 BC. Where Animal Gods were not only regularly worshiped, but revered as keepers of life and death, as we know it.The fossil stones go back into the Paleolithic eras, before 50,000 BC.---Location: There are large & small deities, along the trails, cliffs and small isles in the Mediterranean Sea.---Unusual Stone Idols: An Ocean Dragon (back cover), Gremlins, Giant Sloths, Trolls, Devils & Hobglins, Druids, Giant Rukh* Birds, High Priest Stones, Pharaoh Stones & Nordic Gods.

She also relates stories, for many of the stone animal scenes. Stories that would have been a pivotal inclusion for their tribes, w/their day-to-day journey toward contentment.
