Awesome! I love the kjeragbolten with the goat. I wonder how many people die every year when they look down, get dizzy and fall.

The title was clever, but the RSS feed entries all say ‘deputydog’, so the title was lost on me for a while.

er, never mind, that was only true with the Feedburner version. I switched to the local one.

I looked at the kjeragbolten photo, got dizzy and fell out of my chair. Can’t imagine actually standing on it…

Wow man thats a big ass mushroom rock. Rock On!

It’s hard to know the size of some of the rocks in these pics without any other objects to scale it with (especially the ones in the sea)

hello there,

here in Brazil we have a lot of amazing spots. close to were i live there´s a city (Quixadá) with a buck of monolitic formations. the most famous of them is the “pedra da galinha choca” (on a simple translation we can call it the “chicken rock). hope you can check out at these link´s:

The animal on Kjeragbolten is a sheep, not a goat.

these are wonderful. jon, you’re a moron…these are all famous rock formations. havn’t you heard of google

How about Split Apple Rock in Abel Tasman, New Zealand? Here’s a pic:

i would add Balance rock on the Queen Charoltte Islands in B.C. Canada, it’s pretty cool

The piedra del peñol is actually owned by a single guy and i may be wrong but i think is the biggest single stone on the planet. The stairs are located on a natural crack on the rock and are absolutely frightening to climb or go down. From the top (where there is a cafe) the view is simply breath taking.

oh one more thing, the stairs are build brick by brick by the owner who was hanging from the rock as he built it

What about China Mans’ Hat off the island of Oahu?

What about Balls Pyramid

Awesome!

You forgot about Meteora

What about devils marbles! A whole collection of oddly balanced spherical rocks near Alice Springs, Australia

The Piedra del Peñol is located in Colombia in the department of Antioquia. It is located near Medellin

Rock City is about 50 miles from the mushroom rocks (there are more than one in the park): http://www.kansastravel.org/rockcity.htm

Those rocks do, indeed, rock. Especially #4.

All I’ve got is my pet rock, Norman.

You forgot Krishnas Butterball in tamilnadu India.

You should check out Bubbble Rock in Acadia National Park (Located in Northern Maine). It is located precariously on the side of the South Bubble Mountain. Its visible from the Park Loop and is quite an easy hike to get to.

I love rock.

hey, here in Brazil, there’s a rock much better than three of these,

see ya

On Koh Samui, Thailand, there are two nearby rock formations that are referred to as Grandmother and Grandfather rock respectively.

I’ll let the pictures do their own talking…..

Wow i can’t believe the one with the sheep. It is so cool

These are really cool.

Great list. I remember seeing Matt (from wherethehellismatt.com) dancing on kjeragbolten and I’ve wanted to go there ever since. I didn’t realize how high up it was though.

Kjeragbolten gives me acrophobia just looking at the photo.

The great amount of unsuccessful trials to understand the reason of megalithic structures shows us that the right answer isn’t anywhere in the region of known facts. I have found empirically that the “completion” isn’t any little thing but some laws of nature that have been neglected by the present science. It sounds unbelievably but did men in the ancient history know about some natural laws better than the present science? Surely, they didn’t but knew how to communicate between continents. I think that research in this field will be very interesting.

New theory of balanced rocks

The balanced rocks are rocks of great mass and in the same way as menhirs are located in places of great concentration of cosmic energy. They differ from menhirs by their more rounded shape and by their location on a small area. They may be swung by the wind due to their precise balancing. In my last article I’m describing an experiment, which shows that matter gains energy when being swung.

Further, I will be dealing with important information about balanced rocks, which could be deducted from information found at GOOGLE – pictures, after typing in “balanced rocks”. “Balanced rocks are located in great amount on five continents. “ This fact eliminates any discussions whether ancient civilisations were able to communicate over great distances or not. We don’t know the answer to the question how they were exchanging information in such a way. However, we have enough organisational experience to say that without communication and coordination it wouldn’t be possible to built thousands of balanced rocks around the globe. The transport of rocks weighing more than hundreds of tons over a rough terrain, many times on top of mountains, and the difficult balancing enabling their swinging motion would be an unsolvable task for our technically advanced civilisation. If the ancient cultures solved this task, we can’t doubt that they used some for us unknown technological progresses.

The usual reason for megalithic structures that they were built for ritual, calendar, agricultural and astronomical reasons wouldn’t hold out for balanced rocks. We can approach the reason for balanced rocks only if we lay away the textbook thought about people with a stone axe and think in a way that we are dealing with a technically developed civilisation, which was ahead of our civilisation in some unknown direction. I will enlarge on these thoughts about the megaliths in this direction in connection with the findings of the empirical research about new properties of matter. I will try to explain how people exchanged information over great distances by the use of balanced rocks.

A menhir is a rock placed in a region of an energy source from which it spontaneously gains energy. At the times of building of menhirs there were only natural energy sources of cosmic energy on the Earth – underground springs, streams, rivers, large streams, sea currents, thunderclouds and others. The energetic value of these sources wasn’t stable; it was affected by the change of flow of water streams and the changes of other sources. Menhirs were affected by this in a way that their energetic parts were in a constant movement by which the zones and inter zones changes their separation. At times of drought it’s not possible to identify them. For the transport of energy it’s necessary that the zones of the individual sources cross each other. This however can’t be accomplished by menhirs due to the instability of their zones. It wasn’t possible to use menhirs for the transport of energy due to the lability of their energetic parts.

The way in which people in the ancient times solved this problem deserves admiration. By the swinging motion they built a source into the rock, which compensated for the changes and disruptions to the external sources – it functioned as a stabilisation element. The energetic parts of balanced rocks became stationary and could be used for an uninterrupted transport of energy. If you visit
http://www.miroslavprovod.com , Chapters / 2003, NO, 6, there is a diagram of energetic parts of two trees which intersect. In the text attached I’m describing how the transport of energy is realized. Therefore, balanced rocks could have functioned as part in the transport energy process in a similar way as retranslation stations of our time. Balanced rocks could have transported energy in two ways. They could have had their own transport network or they could have been just an interconnection of zones of sea currents, great streams and other great sources in their common network, as it looks like at Nazca.

All the megalithic structures on the Earth have the same purpose. Cosmic energy is accumulated in their matter, which people than used for curative and also other reasons. The structures had to undergo one condition – they had to be situated into an energetic part of cosmic energy. The regional difference of the shapes of megalithic structures was usually accommodated to the local material sources and other conditions. In America, mounds were mostly built, which were from mud and no good workmanship was needed. More advanced civilizations built pyramids, ziggurats or other more difficult structures. Also, great structures with energetic regulation were built, such as Teotihuacán, San Lorenzo, Nazca Plain, Laos – stone jars, the pyramid of Acapan or Osireion.

Another category of megalithic structures are Easter Islands, Nan Madol, Zimbabwe and others. These probably ensured the connection and maybe even intensification of zones over great distances. In connection with previous results, we could await interesting results from further research.

hi muhahahahaha the world is yours

Here is another one for you. This is in India not too far from Chennai (I forget the place name) but I remember the rock was nicknamed the butterball.

the goat/sheep on the picture of the norwegian stone is defenentlly a sheep.
