The map of "the Creator"

A find of Bashkir scientists contraries to traditional notions of
human history: stone slab which is 120 million years covered with the
relief map of Ural Region.

Nice story and it would be nice to think it was true, except I don't think
the Urals actually existed 120 million years ago. AFAIK there was only one
continent in them days and the Urals were formed when the European and Asian
plates collided. So if it really were 120 million years old it is unlikely
they would be able to recognise the area. Unfortunately this suggests the
story is a total fabrication.

I'm not a geologist to be able to comprehend how much a landscape changes
in 20 or 120 million years ago.
A nice way for this story to be authenicated, is for the other missing
maps to be found, if only 99 more are located (which is only around 30% of the 
total estimated?) and they prove to be of exactly the same type as this one, 
that ought to be proof enough

There are other 'out of place artefacts' which are bigger and heavier than
this one - stone constructions that defy engineering design of today.
Also ones very small just as mystifying.
