The Ica stones are a collection of stones allegedly discovered in a cave near Ica, Peru, around 1966. The stones are andesite and their oxidized surfaces have been engraved with images that depict things which call into question just about everything science has taught us about the origin of our planet, ourselves and other species. The monsters are said to be dinosaurs. The cave where the stones were allegedly discovered has never been identified, much less examined by scientists.
Skeptics consider the stones to be a pathetic hoax, created for a gullible tourist trade.
Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea claims that a farmer found the stones in a cave. The farmer was arrested for selling the stones to tourists. He told the police that he didn't really find them in a cave, but that he made them himself. Dr. Cabrera's museum is listed as a tourist site by the Peruvian National Chamber of Tourism, though the authenticity of the stones is left open. Based upon the found pieces, collection owner doctor Javier Cabrera, holds a theory according to which Ica was the seat of the first Peruvian culture.
