Cerro Blanco Mountain (picture) My Great Grandfather Calixto Madera owned

    My Great Grandfather (1851? - 1923) owned this whole mountain called, "Cerro Blanco" it is the mountain with the flat surface directly in the middle of the photo. He also owned the flats surrounding at the base of the mountain in the front side directly towards you on the photo. He supposedly sold it to the "Torres family sometime after the revolution. I already know what my Great Grandfather owned. When I went to visit the "Cerro Blanco" with an uncle. We went to the right side of the Cerro Blanco where there is an incline to go up the mountain. We explored the top of the mountain, while my uncle was telling me so many things about my Great Grandfather, what he owned, the talk of the town, etc. Then we walked to towards the left of the mountain until we got to the edge and we had a view of the other mountains off in the distance including the "Cerro De Huistle" mountain. All the time my uncle showing me areas in the Cerro Blanco and telling me so many things about my great grandfather. We walked back towards towards the right side of the mountain and began walking down the incline. At one spot, near the incline there is a tall cylindar stone shaped column standing up with a large bowl like depression on the top of the column. From the inclinde of the mountain we were walking on, we both jumped to the top of the stone column and stood on the bowl like depression which is about 10 feet in diameter. My uncle showed me these weird writings and symbols carved along the edges of the bowl like depression. I could not understand what they were or what was the purpose of that tall stone column. Seems like it was there during ancient times and man made.
