Short: Pictures of very old american masons marks Author: rschmidt@torment.tmisnet.com (Roderick Schmidt) Uploader: M Berionne agora stm it (Michele Berionne) Type: pix/misc Architecture: generic This portfolio is the FOURTH of the series of humdreds of video images I have created over the years in studying this location. The icons and graphic simplicity of the ancient artists conceales the intelligence and ingenuity of the creator. Everything was done with purpose and may contain hidden information. The location has proven to be a solar observatory far older than the highly touted Anastazi sun dagger and significantly more complex. Since it's origins some 2,500 years ago, until nearly modern times the location was considered sacred and revered and visited by priests and shamen alike. It is still considered a place of healing by some of the Natives. The location was brought in focus by the work of Harvard Professor Dr. H.B."Barry" Fell. See SAGA AMERICA, sorry it's a book, not available through any net. Look up INYO ZODIAC. SOURCE LOCATION: SWANSEA, INYO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA LOCALE DESIGNATION(S): INY-272 (UCLA), No. 41 (Steward), Swansea (Baldwin) THE LAST FEW IMAGES IN THIS SERIES HAD SUNSYMBOLS IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE INTERACTION OF SUN AND SHADOW FOR BOTH TIMEKEEPING AND FESTIVAL PURPOSES. THIS SERIES HAS NO SUNSYMBOLS. INSTEAD, A SHEPHERDS CROOK INTERSECTING A CIRCLE OVERLOOKS THE DISPLAY. DR. BARRY FELL SUGGESTED THAT THIS WOULD INDICATE THE EQUINOX, NECESSARY FOR ANY ANCIENT CHRISTIAN TO DETERMINE WHEN TO CELEBRATE EASTER. INDEED IT DOES AS THE SIX LINES IN THE FORGROUND ARE SPLIT BY SUN AND SHADOW ON THE EVENING OF THE EQUINOX. DR. ALAN GILLESPIE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON HAS DETERMINED THAT THE EVENT IS PREDICTABLY ACCURATE AND HAS MADE A WORKING COMPUTER MODEL. BY WITNESSING AND RECORDING THE EVENT A NUMBER OF TIMES, WE DETERMINED THAT THE DEVICE IS PROPERLY READ WHEN THE SUN IS SETTING. THE CREATORS OF THIS DEVICE LEFT CLUES BEHIND ON THE BOULDER THAT SUPPORTS THE SHADOWMAKER. ANOTHER CLUE TO THE ORIGINS OF THIS TIMEKEEPER IS THE FISH SYMBOL CARVED BY A BLADE ON THE SAME ROCK AS THE CIRCLE AND STAFF.
