Exposed sculpture of the menacing disk flanked by two mythical foxes. The foxes have lunar eyes that face the December solstice sunset.

The middle one looks like an un-happy face to me.

I find pre-Columbian art quite interesting. Much of it is weirdly oval and wrapped around itself. It’s not terribly naturalistic, nor is it linear. It tends to be curving and self-contained. Just a different approach from art we find in other parts of the world.

Every culture “invented” a zodiac, a twelve segmented division of “creation” with the heavens above as a macrocosm of the life they had - the microcosm below (as it is in heaven so it is on Earth)
What is more interesting to me than this fact is the question of why did all humans do this. What is the source of this in all ancient humans? I think there is a simple answer, but in that answer I still find ancient humans as resourceful as modern humans; they were just living at an earlier point in the path of acquired human knowledge. I think their brains - the physical instrument - were not working or wired much differently than ours, if at all.
