This may also be a calendar........like the Mayan calendar............and the Mayan calendar might not be the only one of its kind...........i am not sure.................the original may be from Africa..........and the Illuminati might have thought the original is somewhere in the Congo............which may be why they killed Patrice L.......renamed the country to Zaire and put Motubu as their plant.........sent 2000 French foreign legion, American CIA, etc.........to protect him.........and gave him whatever he wanted...............they didn't just give him a Swiss bank account.......but an entire Swiss bank......not just one or two Mercedez Benz........but an entire factory.........for a bunch of racist white American and Europeans to give a black man all that, and one not even from their own country........tells me that whatever is in the Congo.......is mighty precious to them...........the origins of human learning and technology..........and the precursor to the Mayan calendar......or something similar........

The Ishango Bone, Possibly One of the Oldest Calendars(25,000 BCE – 20,000 BCE)

The Ishango Bone, a notched talley stick discovered at Ishango in the Congo (Zaire) in 1960 by Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt, and now preserved in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, is one of the oldest known objects that may contain logical or mathematical carvings. It may be simply a talley stick.

Alexander Marschak, an independent scholar, argued that it represents a six-month lunar calendar. In 1970 Marshack published his innovative Notation dans les gravures du Paléolithique Supérieur. He argued that talley marks on certain bones represented a system of proto-writing, and proposed the controversial theory that notches and lines carved on certain Upper Paleolithic bone plaques were notation systems, specifically lunar calendars notating the passage of time. Using microscopic analysis, Marshack showed that seemingly random or meaningless notches on bone were sometimes interpretable as structured series of numbers. Marshack expanded upon these ideas in his book, The Roots of Civilization (1972). If Marshack's interpretation is correct, notched bones such as these may be, in the words of John Eccles, the earliest "conceptual performance of homo sapiens." Alternatively they may be a yet to be understood method of recording information, or something else.

Other supposed "lunar calendars" from about the same date have been discovered on ojbects such as the Isturitz Baton, the Blanchard bone, and possibly in cave paintings in Lascaux and elsewhere.
