The paleolithic lineal rock inscriptions of Iberian-Tartessian Riotinto mines (Huelva, Spain) and their relatedness with King Solomon mines

Abstract

Lineal Paleolithic Scripts are found in rocks within Riotinto mines close to Tinto (blood-colour) River. They have also been found in European and African places (including Canary Is and Sahara). They have been considered precursors of Iberian-Tartessian signary at least and sometimes are found mixed with their signs. We have proposed a meaning for these repetitive signs based in the Basque-Iberian equivalence and the Paleolithic/Neolithic religion of The Mother. Prehistoric Riotinto mines are placed in South West Iberia in the Iberian Pyrite Belt area and they are exploited since Chalcolithic period at least. A concentration of rocks and also megaliths with Lineal Paleolithic Scripts concentrate close to Riotinto mines. Also, Tartessian civilization and megaliths probably flourished in the area because of the wealth in metals (copper, iron, gold, silver and others). On the other hand, the postulated King Solomon mines may have been placed in this area or being Riotinto mines themselves. A bulk of extant information about King Solomon mines and trade has been neglected, particularly the association of Solomon with King Hiram from port (Phoenicia, now Lebanon) fleet to sail Mediterranean and carry metals and other goods to botb Tyre and King Solomon in a time of several centuries BC. This historical data is discussed in the context of a common Mediterranean culture, with common lineal writings and languages (Usko-Mediterranean languages) due mostly to the green Sahara migrating people in the desertification period. These migrants had a common ancient civilization also supported with the presence of a unique megalithic specific calendar representation (Quesera-cheeseboard) in both in Middle East and Canary Islands, i.e.: easternmost and westernmost parts of ancient green Saharan people culture.
