Can you spot the reclining lamb? Posted on 12/04/2008 10:20:27 AM PST by BGHater
A British discoverer who says he has found the world's largest rock sculptures is poised to prove his claims.
Can you spot the reclining lamb?
Bill Veall used the latest satellite imaging techniques to search the Peruvian mountains for ancient shapes and formations.
He was astonished to discover a series of designs, carved into the Andean Cordillera.
Mr Veall made a film of his discovery and uploaded it to skynews.com/yourvideos.
A 'sacred lamb' image, measuring 1400m by 1000m, was identified next to an altar stone, an antelope head and two staring faces of the 'Sun God' and Venus.
Can you see the lamb reclining in the rock?
Now you can! The ancient religious symbol measures 1400m by 1000m.
The 800m long altar stone is highlighted on this image.
The mountain antelope's head is here somewhere.
Did you spot it?
highlighted image of the Sun God and Venus. Scary.

If it was your sister’s bunny and he had cheese, that would be funny....

Thanks for the ping.
Rorschach?
Can’t everyone see the figures?
Simulacra ping.
Thanks for the ping. Those pictures aren’t real clear. Can you hold my crack pipe while I look for my glasses?
Historical Background There is abundant evidence that South Arabian script was used not only in the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula (modern-day Yemen), but actually in the entire Peninsula before the Islamic era. Besides, samples of South Arabian Script have been found as far as Uruk in Mesopotamia, Delos in Greece, as well as Giza in Egypt. Archaeological finds show that the Script was used as far back as the 8th century BCE. It was used in trade, religious writing, and in civil records.
I would, but it’s so hot that I’m afraid it’ll ignite my meth lab.
You’re welcome. We needed a little wacky topic ping. :’)
But for lack for an appropriate container...
The Indianapolis Art Museum has a fairly large collection of Andean bowl on display. It’s the same style as these buildings. One of the bowls is clearly for containing magic mushrooms!
“He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl. I guess we all know about Old King Coel...”
Musnad appears to be a general name used for ‘writing’ in arab ‘culture’ - the use of which script is apparently dated to around minus 800.
The ‘features’ in the video are stated to be possibly 5,000 years old.
Just another (p*ss-weak) arab attempt to claim they discovered South America.
after nazca, nothing that comes from this area surprises me in potential, bogus or not.
Seeing a cliff-sized drawing of a guy with a face-shield/suit around him from the 8th century ad is quite the opinion-alterer.
In her Plato Prehistorian: 10,000 to 5000 B.C. Myth, Religion, Archaeology, Mary Settegast reproduces a table which shows four runic character sets; a is Upper Paleolithic (found among the cave paintings), b is Indus Valley script, c is Greek (western branch), and d is the Scandinavian runic alphabet.
In a world of computer enhancement, we should have to put up with this.
Heh... yeah, wonder who scanned that and uploaded it? ;’)
Someone “musnad” have seen the memo about it. ;’)
