In the new years, the Cochno Stone was unburied, contemplated and reburied by the archeologists for a few times. They exhumed the site and utilized advanced looking over and pHotography (3D-imaging innovation) to record the work of art, trusting that the enormous measure of information they’ve figured out how to gather will help different scientists in endeavoring to decipher these cryptic old lines. Accordingly, the importance of the Cochno Stone remaining parts a strange problem to date.
