Reinoud de Jonge (a Dutch chemist) and Jay Wakefield (an American biologist) have specialized in the study of megalithic culture. They present their controversial analysis of a dozen archaeo­logical sites, proposing that many petroglyphs are geographic maps. They show how monuments provide numerical data revealing megalithic religion and ancient sailing discoveries in the Atlantic.

Examples presented by the guests ,  numeric picture writing at Loughcrew, Ireland, which they suggest reveals that these people gave up their efforts to cross the Ocean west of Green­land in 3200 BC. However, decip­herment of the petro­glyphs at Dissignac, France, shows that they next explored the earth to the east, where they discove­red Australia and Alaska. Subsequently, they found routes across the Atlantic, and built Stonehenge, the monument for the discovery of America. They concluded that these decipherments shed light on a number of mysteries in American prehistory, such as the origin of the Olmec civilization, the Michigan copper mines, and the stone chambers of New England.
