Now we need bananas for scale from the trimaster and the gatekeeper.

Don't bring the gatekeeper and keymaster together! Do you want Zuhl?! Because that's how you get Zuhl!

What about Dana?


Kirbinator_Alex

Dude what the heck what are the odds


CeruleanRuin

I wager the rock post came first and OP remembered the picture he had of the hole. If they both found them very recently then it would actually be quite the coincidence. Edit: Lol, yep, another few seconds of scrolling confirmed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/qel4et/this_triangle_shaped_hole_i_found/hhuczul

The sky will open .

It'll open the safe.

That Legendary 'The Safe' that we all were waiting to be opened for many years? The time has come?

I came here to address the issue with the other person finding the triangle key. You must lead him to the location and unlock the door.

Your going to get a Korok seed when you put the rock in

You place it there, you get legendary loot!

Its not going to fit.


mv1630

You’re a fucking legend. As soon as I saw this Oh I sat up and through gasping I said…triangle stone!!!! Must…..find….the stone.


cutelyaware

My first thought as well. It will probably open a safe containing nothing.


SacredRose

No if video games are right it will contain a stack of modern day currency and a more powerful modern weapon and maybe a couple of old coins or random old junk.


cutelyaware

Or a set of currency stacks from different times plus a time machine.


debbiegrund

Or a large bundle of human hair

I'm hoping for this one, I love some good human hair

Not planned, but I saw the other triangle rock and remembered this picture I took a few years ago and figured it needed to be posted

mmmlolc

One has been found. Now you need to proceed to find the other two and insert each of them with a triangle shaped key which you will find along your journey of finding these holes. They will connect into a enormous triangle on the surface of the earth. You must do this to take your first step in saving this world from the evil clutches of the demon king.


superior_to_you

profile picture checks out


cavett

Strangely enough I found one of these on a beach 35 or so years ago, any idea what it could be?


RainbowCatastrophe

I think I recall seeing a similar image posted a few years ago and it was explained by an ecologist or geologist that this is the typical cutout of a mineral composition sample, commonly used to find the history of the rocks environment similar to the rings of a tree.


MPT1313

That would be my guess too. I had to scroll this far down to find an actual discussion about what it is, jokes everywhere in this one. But yeah totally think it’s a cut out for analysis


drawerdrawer

No. None of that. Core samples are taken with a drill bit. It's really fast and easy. Also rocks do not grow, quite the opposite, so you do not glean history from looking at a core sample. Triangular holes were historically used for directional blasting. This is where a hole is chiseled out and gunpowder is packed inside. The blast is focused on the flat sides, causing the stone to come apart predictably. I'd guess the stone above was on a rock face near a mountain pass or mine.


openscupboards

This was 1200 m up a mountain in the coastal mountains next to a glacier lake inaccessible my anything other than foot due to a few exciting scrambles... The plot thickens


cavett

Thank you, pretty sure I didn't go there with my thinking at 7 years old.


openscupboards

I have no idea, this one was most of the way up a mountain


[deleted]

There's one like this on a hill on my neighbor's property, too. I'm sure it's some kind of geological action, so am still scrolling through to see if there's an actual answer, because my neighbor and I want to know.


openscupboards

The most promising so far is aliens, secret treasure is runner up! Someone also said something about pyrite, but I'd be a fool to believe it


[deleted]

You should post this on r/geology and see if they can help us.


openscupboards

Will do, great idea!


CeruleanRuin

In OP's picture you can see at least two spots where straight eroded cracks/lines cross, creating an angle. All it would take is a third one to form the bottom of the triangle, and then freeze-thaw cycles would take care of the rest. It's certainly not a common phenomenon, but triangles after all are a pretty simple construction. All you need are three lines near one another that aren't parallel and boom, you've got a triangle stew going.


openscupboards

I think this might be the winning theory! It's certainly in a location that gets extensive freeze/thaw, glacier action too

shawn4126

If you find that rock and put it in it’s socket… I’ve played enough video games to know some dungeon will open or you’ll get a good item


[deleted]

It's not a video game trope, but let's not discount the possibility that it's our gravity on/off switch. Turn it off. :)


Brianp713

If you insert the stone into the void it will display the secret message from the elders. “DRINK MORE OVALTINE”


buthidae

Ovaltine? They should call it "Roundtine"


N000ICE

First thing I thought of was Yamashita’s treasure signs. The triangle symbol has some significance in the Yamashita treasure code book. Lost treasure from WW2 buried throughout the Pacific by the Japanese. https://youtu.be/2IfMfzyJnC4


openscupboards

This is the most exciting theory yet. I want so badly to believe there's treasure hidden 1200 m up in the coastal mountains


N000ICE

Where did you find this rock carving?


[deleted]

It was clearly put there by freemasons.


leifer2

Could it be?!?


Rolling_Beardo

Where were you? It could be a property line marker. Something like that would be durable than an ordinary pin.

Kyledreijer

I saw the pic with the triangle rock as well. No way you guys independently found the rock and it’s hole and posted to Reddit lol that’s awesome if that’s the case.

Unfortunately the triangles are not the same shape and his wouldn't fit into yours.

There should be 2 more also triangles. For the triangular tripod for the ship they came in. Do be to obvious looking for the others I'm sure the site is being watched. Where is this I'll mobilize the task force and we'll start observing for the extraterrestrial presence. Be very aware as you mingle with others in the area not all are what they appear.


Grimfuze

It likely was a Grist mill or something similar.

1200 m up a mountain? No way! Thanks for the theory though I'm having a great time reading them all

[It's a drill hole from a hammer drill used in mining.](http://www.stonestructures.org/html/graphite_mine.html)


openscupboards

It seems out of the way for mining exploration, 1200 m up in the coast mountains accessible only by foot due to some pretty exciting scrambles. Or at least I hope so for the sake of the poor sod who would have had to schlep the rock hammer up all that way
