    Hmm. I wonder if the question should be undeleted and closed as a duplicate of this one ... I think both are asking about the same stone, and the other question has been answered.

    Are you worried that they made a ... grave mistake?

Look at the deletion banner:

deleted by Community♦ 9 hours ago (RemoveAbandonedClosed)

This question was automatically deleted. Please see the help center for more information.

Following that link leads you to the help centre page on automatic deletion. The section relevant to your specific question is:

If the question was closed more than 9 days ago, and ...

  • not closed as a duplicate
  • has a score of 0 or less
  • is not locked
  • has no answers with a score > 0
  • has no accepted answer
  • has no pending reopen votes
  • has not been edited in the past 9 days

... it will be automatically deleted. These are "abandoned closed", and are termed as RemoveAbandonedClosed.

As a 10k-reputation user, you can vote to undelete this question. I don't think you can undelete it singlehandedly as the OP, however.

EDIT: your question has now been undeleted by three 10k+ reputation users. I also reopened it and closed it as a dupe of What is the significance of this hand-shaped rock formation?, a question asking about exactly the same stone which already has two good answers. I'm not sure why your question was originally closed as opinion-based and the other one wasn't.

  • Awesome, questions I want deleted won't be. But ones I don't want deleted will be...

    @KyloRen It's now been undeleted, and marked as a duplicate instead of primarily opinion-based. Sometimes asking on meta does work :-)
