Ping.
Take a look at some of this stuff. You were posting materials the other day from the Indus that looked just like this stuff ~ but this is a bit older!
Yeah. In the UK these days, an On/Off switch baffles experts.
both settings in the UK are mostly off.
It baffles me as well...
When the original rock art album cover for "Smell The Glove" came out, experts were similiarly baffled:
How much more black can it be? None more black."
Spinal Tap
I forget, did that come from Mr. Tufnel or Mr st. Hubbins?

Thanks for the links. When I saw this before I read where it was my first thought was New Grange, then it seemed that I remembered seeing something similar at Malta. For the heck of it I checked Gloria Farley’s, “In Plain Sight”, but there was nothing similar. If her finds cover 3,000 to 1,000 years ago, and these circles cover 4,000 to 6,000 years ago, that would make sense.
“Spiral Dance” ping.
[ya either “get” Phi or ya don’t]
Surprisingly, comets do not always appear as sweeping brooms in the sky. When viewed at the correct angle and orientation, while the comet is outgassing appropriately, a comet can actually appear as a spiral "pinwheel." Below are some photos and a short movie of comet Hale-Bopp in 1997 when it was in spiral display.

Thanks! Excellent.
Looks to me like is’t proof that “modern art” aint so modern after all.
Art that tells you nothing. Depicts nothing.
I can just hear the carver saying in self satisfied joy. “It’s all about the circle maaaaaan! The circle, dontchu getit?”
Among the Hopi, who appear to be descended from the Pueblo people (who built Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, etc), a spiral is a symbol for a “long journey”. Spirals very similar to the ones described in this article are found associated with most of the Pueblo culture ruins in the Four Corners area.
