    …interest - and I mean it in the most casual sense, because I have absolutely no interest in promoting the racist Zermatism - then I encourage HN readers to have a look at Protong. The book on the subject "Behold - The Protong!!" is a wonderful coffee-table item, if you care for these things. I don't know of any other on-line resources which cover Protong - its a kooky subject indeed, so this is very surprising to me - but…

    Read the book "Behold!! The Protong!" and you'll get an even more intriguing explanation. These statues are a WARNING TO THE FUTURE that the great CATACLYSM, which comes in cycles, will HAPPEN AGAIN. Below the ground-line (which represents…

    …generations of civilizations, and that in itself - irresepective of Szukalsksi's other heinous crackpot racist theories - is a good reason for anyone to check out Protong! https://books.google.at/books/about/Behold_The_Protong.html?... (He is a crackpot - the yeti stuff is a load of bollocks. But Protong itself, in my opinion, has a great deal of merit as an artistic pursuit..)

    It always amazes me how close to this sort of thing Szukalski was, with his "Behold! The Protong!!" .. I mean, he was an artist who saw all these ancient signs and signals as a porto-tongue throughout all human culture. Does anyone know if Szukalski has any credence among these researchers? He…

    Wow, the more time goes on, the more "Behold!! The Protong!" ( * ) seems to be an accurate assessment of things. He specifically targetted this artifact as an example of evidence that ancient civilizations were a lot more lucid than we thought. Szukalski had…

    …cataclysm, spread its survivors around the globe - who then coded their common language ("Protong!") into cave art and so on. I really have to wonder if any of the serious researchers have read the book "Behold! The Protong!" by Szukalski, which recounts his investigation into this topic. It'd be somewhat unique - and terrifying (coz: Zermatism) - to hear that Szukalski was really onto something, all those decades ago ..…
