Marcel Homet was a widely-travelled doctor of
archaeology, and author whose book containing his
pictures of all the petroglyphs I read back before computer fakery.
There were plenty of pictures- see "Sons of the Sun(?)
by Marcel Homet
I'm pretty sure he showed these rocks to others who would
probably be able to determine if he had just recently carved
them with his little scout knife.
I'm sure after the effort it takes getting to some
of those places in Brazil, he would be in good enough shape to do that
after supper. As would you, I'm sure.

Curious. A rather extensive search of journal databases - a few French
ones thrown in for a good measure - failed to reveal a single peer-
reviewed publication by Homet. Nor am I able to find any PhD of that
name in archaeology.

There is one Marcel Homet, a former SOE agent and topographer,
connected to a Portuguese university. That guy was born in 1897, and
would have been a bit too old for strenuous field archaeology in the
1960's.

Unless you can provide credentials for the guy, I will be forced to
suspect the writer was most likely a fraudster. There are many who
claim false credentials to advance their spurious hypotheses.

You might hazard a guess from the date of publication mid 60's that it was mainly LSD induced. Amazon has copies available in translation.

Or perhaps he wrote them from beyond the grave - ghost writing writ large.
