This personified disk, believed by archaeologist Robert Benfer to be a representation of the Andean God of the Earth, Pancha Mama, was unearthed in June 2005 in the Temple of the Fox. On June 21, the beginning of the ancient Andean harvest, the disk appears to frown upon sunset. (Photo courtesy of Project Buena Vista)

Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
The first Unhappy Face.
Can we used this to overturn the copyright on the Smiley Face?
What effect will this have on Mr. Yucky-Face, the ugly thing the Poison Control Center uses?
Do those now come under the 'Culture Theft' provisions of that insane (aren't they all!) UN treaty?
Come on, Papa Umm-mao-mao; turn that frown upside down! You look like the eclipse-demon you ate upset your tummy! Look around you! The sun is shining; the birds are singing, the slaves are being whipped; what's to frown about?
Thanks!
