Ica stones, collected by Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea near the village of
Ica in Peru, show ancient drawings of humans hunting or otherwise
interacting with living dinosaurs.

Response:
The stones are almost certainly modern, created by local villagers to
sell to gullible tourists. Two peasants from Callango, Basilio Uchuya
and his wife, Irma Gutierrez de Aparcana, have admitted to carving the
stones they sold to Cabrera, basing their designs on illustrations from
comic books, school books, and magazines (Polidoro 2002).
The stones cannot be dated without knowing their source, and their
source has never been revealed.
The Ica stones reputedly give evidence for a highly advanced, very
ancient civilization, but no other trace of such a civilization
exists. (The Nazca drawings are nearby, but they do not depict any
dinosaurs or evidence for advanced technology.)
