A group of archaeologists discovered the Cochno Stone, also referred to as the Druid Stone, in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It seems that druids—rather than ancient aliens—are the ones responsible for the Cochno Stone.

The 42-by-26-foot Cochno Stone, which dates to the Bronze Age, was originally recorded in 1887 by a local clergyman. The Cochno Stone has since been excavated several times, most recently in 2015. The Stone’s ninety carved, swirling indentations make it one of Scotland’s best-preserved petroglyphs. The Stone was reburied in the middle of the 1960s to guard against vandalism (or from the ancient Druidic enchantment, maybe?).
