Mesopotamians in the Mountain Luogo?

An evocative hypothesis? And yet... And yet ... for many years I have searched for any kind of trace of those first Neolithics who arrived in the area of the Po Valley from the Middle East, via the Balkan Adriatic coastal route. Not just in the plains, though. Traces of a mysterious past can also be found here in the Mountain Luogo, in Montarsolo, in Alta Valtrebbia (Corte Brugnatella-Piacenza-Italy). A mysterious past that I will try to re-construct: who were these people and where did they come from?

Introduction

What I am going to tell you about, are the results of a survey I carried out hoping to find some tangible evidence regarding the populations that lived in a strange place that I will later describe. Assuming that this area was dominated for centuries by a Ligurian population, until 14 BC, and that some Gallic groups named Boi possibly took refuge there during the Roman occupancy, I proceeded by following the tracks left by local witchcraft, i.e. I collected folklore about witches and sorcerers hoping to locate the places where they held their ceremonies, because their origins usually come from far away and this is exactly how I found their exact location as well as finding engravings and carved stones.

To complete this brief description, I would like to point out that this is intended solely as a presentation of my findings, all historical references and sources from important historians have been taken into consideration just to make assumptions, I will leave all necessary inspections to those skilled in this particular field. I will only express my view, developed after several years of research, about this mysterious place.

PART ONE

Mysterious traces in the High Trebbia river valley

It is weird to think that, in an almost forgotten place, mysteries still linger, but yet..... !

These are the headlines taken from The Libertà

(the local newspaper of Piacenza),

article written by Michele Borghi on November 3rd, 2007:

< MAGICAL RITES IN THE TREBBIA RIVER VALLEY WOODS, NEW FINDINGS SUCH AS STONES AND GRAFFITI MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE ANCIENT CELTS AND LIGURIANS >

Area of mystery

Monte 'Il Luogo' - The Mountain Place - referred to as 'Il Logo' (741 metres)

It all started a long time ago, after purchasing a metal detector, it didn’t take me long to get interested in this type of research. I should say that this enthusiasm for this kind of thing began during my military service when I was appointed artificer, I occasionally used a metal detector but I had to wait ten years before I could have one of my own.

The purpose of this purchase was to investigate the areas where combats had taken place, to precisely locate the sites and find out what kind of armaments had been used but, despite my initial excitement, most of the time I would find iron wires and nails, occasionally a bullet case came to light, a small plate, a few bomb fragments and nothing more.

This alternation lasted for a while, until I found my fortune which occurred after a snowfall, because the passing of snow leaves the underbrush crushed, thus a perfect ground for this type of investigation; at that time I was in the middle of an old battle field between Partisans and Germans, the battle had taken place during the last war. After many unsuccessful attempts I found an arrow and after that a medieval coin (f 5) and a Farnese coin (f 6).

After the coins, nothing else, just some insignificant findings, but one thing seemed to be coming to light in so far as the ground was apparently divided into precise lines, in one spot the metal detector would work perfectly but just a few feet away it got out of control. To begin with I thought about something big hidden under the ground, I remember shouting < I bet I’ve found a treasure trove! > but my dream didn’t last long; the answer most probably could be found in the type of ground, a part of which contained, unlike the other part, ironstone or some other metal.

However this strange reaction drew my attention to that particular part of the ground, and while I was rummaging in the bushes, I found some carved pebbles.
