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 is definitely in the lunatic-fringe/crazy-guy sector - but maybe he was right that there is a common human language throughout all ancient art? So crazy to see his claims being investigated now and confirmed by mainstream archeologists ..

To save others a search: Stanisław Szukalski "Zermatism, Szukalski's concept of world history, postulated that all human culture derived from post-deluge Easter Island and that in all human languages one can find traces of the original, ancient mother-tongue of mankind. In his view, humanity was locked in an eternal struggle with the Sons of Yeti ("Yetinsyny"), the offspring of Yeti and humans, who had enslaved humanity from time immemorial." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Szukalski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Szukalski Apparently there's a Netflix documentary (Dec 2018) about him called, Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski.

  The Zermatism stuff is whack .. but the Protong stuff is great! >Beginning in 1940, Szukalski devoted most of his time examining the mysteries of prehistoric ancient history of mankind, the formation and shaping of languages, faiths, customs, arts, and migration of peoples. He tried to unravel the origin of geographical names, gods, and symbols that have survived in various forms in various cultures. This work, called "Protong" (in Polish, "Macimową"), continued uninterruptedly for over 40 years. He wrote a manuscript of 42 volumes, totaling more than 25,000 pages, and including 14,000 illustrations.[3] The volumes covered a variety of issues; his pen drawings of artifacts, which he considered "witnesses", were done to confirm his theories.

Crackpots are only fun when very few people take them seriously.
