Dear Jim Leslie, I don’t have much time to spend on the petroglyphs from SW Iberia at the moment, but note that the Tartasus writing consists of two successive lines, each of 37 symbols, equal to the latitude of the site, and of the island of Sta Maria (East Azores) in the Atlantic Ocean, both at 37°N. So, the text partly deals with geography.
