This is the latest study to look at the theory that Stone Age geometrics may be an archaic form of encoded writing.

The first analysis was a kind of double blind test, where additional images were only received for analysis after the sample's initial alignment was set by analysing the first image sent by the curator of the museum. This process of receiving just one image - aligning-then receiving additional images removed any potential bias because the images could not then be rotated after receiving the secondary images to "improve" the data.

The second study looked at a different form of archaic Australian art (hand print and geometrics) to see if the exact same angles are highlighted. In this study the image was again obtained from an independent researcher, and the values set to the horizontal. Here the test is to compare the diagram to a standard array of values, so the angular values are fixed.

The third study looked at geometric art from further afield. Namely the geometrics found in Lascaux Cave, in France. Again all images analysed were obtained from an independent team, with the alignment fixed to the horizontal. The aim again is to see what are the three or four most common angular values seen in the image.

The results are surprising. There is a perfect match between the Australian and French art pieces, with the same angular values most commonly seen in France replicated in geometric artwork found in Australia. One of the Australian art pieces studied here is identified as being circa 20,000 years old.
