 Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:50 am Post subject: My idea was limited...flawed |
    |
|
Thank you for your interest.
I am onto a seed kick lately, collecting acorns and seeds from the "Michael Jordan" trees that dot our landscape, only saving the best from the best trees.
And it occurred to me that trees must have some form of basic intelligence or math-software program that instructs ...on the remote part of a limb...you will be a leaf, you will be a seed. How does that tree know how to put an acorn or pine cone or seed on the end of a tree limb?
What in that tree decides...one be a leaf, one be a seed?
Likewise, all human fetus apparently are conceived identical, I am told, possibly in one theory we all start female, then something clicks early on with some of us turning up as males, some as females... what is that amazing process?
Mathematics? Chemistry? Hormones? Compressed software? Ferrite core memory?! Chaos algorithms?
But back on track, on the idea of a single iconic symbol representing a unfathomable amount of data, yes, I think it is possible.
However, I am alerted that there could be some negative implications, or military applications, or even criminal capabilities associated with such development, so let me throw my flawed idea into the public arena and let me leave it at that.
If today you can take a CD and compress an entire movie onto it, then my idea was to unravel those tracks and sequences of data, and stop marks, and synch marks, all unraveled like a single string of 1s and 0s...the object being to assign a single iconic number "composite character" representing that entire string if data.
So what I came up with is like concepting a stack of language codes... Chinese (25,000 symbols), Hindu (100? symbols), Arabic (- nice flowers - symbols), and so on. The total library hopefully would be 100,000+ unique value-symbolics, theoretically occupying a single frame of space.
So instead of taking the IBM-English language code of ??? 256 unique symbols, and using one place marker for any of those 256, I say have the starting capability of 100,000 values (0 to 100,000) for one iconic symbol. To add to it, like rotating around a clock, you add similar symbolics, adding to the sequential string of alphanumeric representations. So it is not really a 'number' as it is a set of sequential data entries for a single data stream.
Estimated
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 space-values (1s,0s) in a single character.
There are spins and deviations you can add to the characters, further enhancing the "single frame of space".
The flaw I reached is that merely having an estimated quintillion quintillion "unique sequential space values" does not neccessarily translate into a single CD. If good video is 27 mega bits per second, I think the above single character could represent 6 minutes of uncompressed video.
Now if that single character was on the gravestone of a 29 year old super American who was killed in Afghanistan, who just received the Medal of Honor, or if that single character was on an Afghan child's gravestone, possibly we could learn about their lives 200 years from now just be translating that single symbolic.
8 generations of all our connected families means 1600 or so last names, but for 99.99% of all humanity, we don't even have names of our ancestors 3 generations back.
It is worth your effort to continue. Good luck!

As you say, there are some drawbacks about placing ideas online, including parallel military programs under development, it being used for the wrong purposes and other negative implications. So it best be done on a private level or private discussion.
The way you are suggesting would require probably too much computing power in assembling and decoding the sequences in real time. So there are better ways to do it that am developing, but to avoid this falling into the wrong hands, we can discuss it in another way rather then on the forums. This is what I was thinking. If there are others also who wish to pick up on the subject in a coordinated effort, being that it is here being discussed in a more symbolic abstract way this can lead to many specific ways to realize this and that are more optimized and streamlined. But the value of the general exchange and common ideas is valid as a starting point, so I also appreciate your comments. |

usarender...You are light years ahead of me, I don't have talent in that area of theoretical math and algorithms.
My idea probably is a good concept, but my solution failed. I have no desire to pursue it.
What I would love to pursue is the ancient foods and medicines of South America. All evidence and written histories conclusively indicate that the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" moved to be the "Hanging Gardens of Peru", influencing the Mayas, the Incas, and later the Aztecs.
For example, 600 varieties of potatos were specifically designed to grow over 2000 meters. In all, there are apparently 1800 varieties of potatos grown. And foods were medicines, which we have not matched even today.
We have chemical solutions to cure medical symptoms, where I think they aimed for natural botanical solutions to strengthen the body system, to defeat the problems. Neither system is perfect, I know.
Good luck in your efforts.

|
|
usarender, and any interested parties...
First of all, I actually applied myself to your mega-number crunching theory, and may have come up with a better working model, limited only by the columular size of the bit stream, and the capability of the computers to process mega numbers. Needless to say, yes, I agree with you more and more, you technically CAN boil down an entire video movie stream onto a postage stamp, in visual form.
I am reminded of the ancient Asian-Indian brain teaser...the one about the king tells his loyal servant in gratitude..."Name anything you want, I will give it to you."
Loyal servant says... "Sure, take a chess board, place a single grain of rice in the first square. Place two grains of rice on the second square. Double the grains of rice on each successive square till you fill the board."
The King, incredulous..."That's all you want? Certainly, it will be done."
You know the end of the story: the number of grains of rice bankrupts the nation by the end of the board, and I think the loyal servant had his head chopped off. This kinda-sorta is my solution, the specifics I will be taking to my buddy, a patent lawyer no less... Charlie C.
Second brain teaser, from a practical standpoint...
According to ancient legend...the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans may have had a channel-passageway through the Caribean....Panama, or Nicaragua, or Southern Mexico (Isthmus of Tihuantepec). Today, the sea levels on the East Coast-Caribean side, and the West Coast Pacific side, I believe are 115 feet in different heights, apparently due to the rotation of the earth, or so I am told.
Question for all....
What are the engineering, cataclysmic consequences, if any, of such a passageway being abruptly shut down, let's say over the period of one week, or one month?
Would the water levels abruptly rise and inundate the East coast side?
What size passageway between the two oceans would be needed to place both East and West coasts at the same height of sea level?

That is interesting you are working on your own version to the riddle. I have my own solution as well. It need not depend completely on mounting the data in an image, but in the technique used to encode the data itself. Of course, sharing this secret in a forum like this is not my intent.
Now, on your passage dilema -->>
Shutting the canal down would not cause a barrage of water accumulating on one end no. And it is not the size of the passageway that would equalize the level of the waters. It is only an equalization of sea levels on both sides that would do this. Now, if the earth being at a variable inclination is able to produce such results, it is only a juggling feat that nature has been programmed to display, to maintain the constant balance needed for life. It is the division of land and water over large distances together with the gravity effect of the moon and the angle of the earth with relation to it's rotation that allows this difference to occur. When you really look at it, the angle of the earth is very precise to support life. Now the earth is constantly suffering adjustments and at times major events can occur when one small element in the equation is altered. |

The following needs no introduction, just our wonderment, appreciation, amazement!
Ancient Aeroplanes, Did the Incas Build Aircraft? by Nicole Coleby, 2004
http://www.2atoms.com/weird/ancient/plane.htm
There is far more to the idea of ancient flying machines. Most are accounts from ancient scriptures such as the bible or other holy books. The most impressive and detailed description of all must be the ancient Indian flying machines or "vimanas". Text about these machines can be found in many Indian scripts of which a list will be given at the end. However the Samara Sudradhara text goes into great detail (written about 400BC). No less than 230 verses are written about the Vimanas including construction, take off, cruising for more than 1,000 miles and even what to do in case of a collision with a bird!
Vimanas, Ancient Flying Vehicles
http://www.crystalinks.com/vimanas.html
"A Vimana is a mythological flying machine, described in the ancient mythology of India. References to these flying machines are commonplace in ancient Indian texts, even describing their use in warfare. As well as being able to fly within Earth's atmosphere, vimanas were also said to be able to travel into space and travel submerged underwater."
Research point... "Ramayana", part of the four epics of Sanskrit/Hindu culture, dated as early as 6000 BC or as modernish as 600 BC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana
"Traditionally the epic belongs to the Treta Yuga, one of the four eons(yug) of Hindu chronology."

Next up...A Jet from Ancient South America by S8int.com
http://s8int.com/phile/page54.html
"In 1954 the government of Colombia sent part of its collection of ancient gold artifacts on a U. S. tour.
Emmanuel Staubs, one of America's leading jewelers, was commissioned to cast reproductions of six of the objects.
Fifteen years later one was given to biologist-zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson for analysis. After a thorough examination and consulting a number of experts, Sanderson's mind-boggling conclusion was that the object is a model of a high-speed aircraft at least a thousand years old.
"Both Sanderson and Dr. Arthur Poyslee of the Aeronautical Institute of New York concluded it did not represent any known winged animal."
Ancient Kites....KITE MYTHS AND LEGENDS
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~et3m-tkkw/history2.html
One popular Chinese legend tells of a farmer whose hat was blown off by a gust of wind as he toiled in a paddy field. Intrigued by the ability of his headgear to fly, he retrieved it and attached it to a length of twine, thus creating the first kite. Another early account describes a wooden framed, bird-shaped kite built and flown in China around 500 B. C.
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~et3m-tkkw/history5.html
"KITES" written by David Phlham
Many theories have been put forward as to the original inspiration of the kite, ranging from runaway sails from a fishing boat to a Chinese farmer's hat being carried off by the wind. While all theories must remain speculative, in an early text the famous Chinese engineer Kungshu Phan of the fourth century B.C. is credited with the invention of a wooden bird that flew for three days without descending.
This is generally accepted as having been a kite; while another well documented account from the second century A.D. refers to the wooden bird of which appears to have been a rudimentary ornithopter with mechanized wings.
It is interesting to relate this story with the first western account of kite flying, recorded by Aulus Genius in the second century A.D., which refers to the `'flying dove' of Archytas of Tarentum, and in which the same basic type of aircraft is described.
Archytas of Tarentum 428-347 BC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archytas_of_Tarentum
Archytas is believed to be the founder of mathematical mechanics.[1] As only described in the writings of Aulus Gellius five centuries after him, he was reputed to have designed and built the first artificial, self-propelled flying device, a bird-shaped model propelled by a jet of what was probably steam, said to have actually flown some 200 yards.
http://www.airdynamics.co.uk/chinese_other.html
Kites were originally used for military purposes. It is said in 200 BC a Chinese General Han Hsin used a kite to fly over a castle he was besieging to see how far away it was. He then used the length of the kite line to dig a tunnel so that he could enter the castle.
Another General attached harps to kites and flew them over a castle he was besieging at night. He sent in spies who spread the rumour that the noise they heard was from the Gods, warning them of defeat and so the enemy fled in terror.
http://www.minnesota-china.com/Education/emSciTech/inventions.htm
Other Chinese legends tell how kites were used to lift observers into the sky to survey a battlefield before fighting began and were used to send messages during wartime.
Hot Air Balloons: Smokey hot air was used to fill the pores of loosely woven cloth...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_balloons
Pre Modern Balloons: Unmanned hot air balloons are popular in Chinese history. Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han kingdom, in the Three Kingdoms era, used airborne lanterns for military signaling. These lanterns are known as Kongming lanterns. Yet the first known evidence of model flight in China employing the use of hot air comes from the Huainanzi, a Taoist book written by the Chinese prince Liu An in the 2nd century BC. This ancient Chinese text stated:
Eggs can be made to fly in the air by the aid of burning tinder...Take an egg and remove the contents of the shell, then ignite a little mugwort tinder (inside the hole) so as to cause a strong air-current. The egg will of itself rise in the air and fly away.
A similar method of making egg shells float in the air on their own accord is discussed in Rashi's commentary on the bible "Even were you to fill an eggshell with dew and close up its opening and place it in the sun, it will, on its own, rise into the air"...
There is also some speculation that hot air balloons were used by the Nazca Indians of Peru some 1500 years ago as a tool for designing vast drawings on the Nazca plain.
Modern Balloons....France 1783
A SHORT HISTORY OF HOT AIR BALLOONING
http://www.lighterthanair.org/ellis/traditions.htm
Ballooning was the first successful documented means of manned flight. Hot air (Montgolfiere) and gas balloons (Charlieres) both had first flights in France in 1783, with the hot air balloon being the first to fly. The enthusiasm for the original hot air balloons soon waned, however, dimmed by the smoky fuels of the day which included straw, rags, and a variety of other less-than-wonderful materials. The scientists of the day believed that smoke and not hot air created the lift. And they may have been right for the wrong reasons. The porous fabrics used in the early balloons may have needed the carbon from the dirty smoke to seal the fabric pores to hold in the heated air that really created the lift. ...
Domesticating Giant Condors and Eagles to Carry lightweight Humans....Fact or Fiction?
While I could not find any internet references to giant birds being raised by human mother-surrogates, - to be trained to carry lightweight humans as cargo, I believe I have read mythological references to this practice. Some of the ancient giant birds are reported to have wingspans of 12 to 20 feet across. Who knows what could have been done, as even dolphins are reported to have been trained to work with ancient humans as a sort of sea horse (or tractor) in ancient times, and domesticated fishing birds were used to feed ancient travelers on ocean expanses.
The Golden Fleece, as Lightweight Aerodynamic Material?
Puzzling factoid and Note: Correct me if I am wrong, but I have been told that the ancient Moche culture of Peru had a woolen weaved material that is so sheer, and woven so extremely fine that it was translucent, that it still holds the Guinness record for most threads per square inch, from 600 BC!
Why might that matter?
Two things...the ancient Greeks were looking for the Golden Fleece, the woven material from the "otherworld" which they had not duplicated, and was so finely made. Might this mythological "Fleece" also be the blondish "Llama wool" of the Moche culture, found only in the Andes, which was woven so incredibly sheer and fine?
Material that is so sheer, and so lightweight, and so strong, could be used in hot air balloons, kites, and other kinds of aerodynamic devices, and I now strongly suspect it was! Lighteweight bamboo frames, and sheer woolen or silken skins would plausibly make an aerodynamic contraption.
Next...As mentioned before in this research, I cannot resist this inclusion.....
http://s8int.com/phile/page54.html
Top Eleven Mysterious Mysteries of the Pre-Columbian Americas ...Differential Gears in Pre-Columbian Peru.....by "S8int.com"
Professor Rafael Larco Hoyle, owner and Proprietor of the Larco Pre-Columbian Museum in Peru and the writer of numerous archaeological books describes bronze differential gears and wheels in Pre-Columbian Peru in his book “Peru”.
Conventional archeaeology refers to them as “ritual objects”.
Simply amazing!!!

|
|
Every once in a rare while, I come across a remarkable website that is a treasure trove of under-reported information.
This information includes plans and layouts of 10,000 year old village-cities and temples in Armenia and Turkey, (Catal Huyuk example) and certainly describes DIRECT cultural connectivities to what are known today, as the the Mayan, Incan, and Aztecan cultures.
More modern Armenian examples...
The only problem is that this website is relatively old, and the navigating from page to page, and subject to subject is antiquated.
For example, the primary URL-lookup is:
http://www.armenianhighland.com/index_light.html
Then you must select:
Architecture of Armenia
Then you must select "End of Page" key.... or page-down to bottom of page...
Then you must double click on each page entry....
There are no direct, page to page html codes, or subject to subject html codes.
This "sleeper" website might take me years to read, and is a most amazing discovery for me, and hopefully for you too.
Congratulation to: Gevork Nazaryan, Author; Sarkis Nazaryan, Development and Design; and Sarkis Nazaryan, Editor, of Armenian Highlands.

Roman arch found in Belize
While in Google Earth, I was researching the coastal areas and came across an amazing observation, on the landscape of a coastal property along the Coast of Belize, halfway between Corozal Belize, and Chetamul Mexico (Yucatan).
I think I could write a college thesis about this one landscaped cityscape, covering over 1 mile in distance, from the top of the half spiral on top, to the seaside footing of the Roman arch figure. And of course, there is the 30-60-90 triangle which composes the arch, to the top right of the arch shape.
I always figured that the Mesoamericans knew of the Korbelled arch, and the trapezoidal arch, but never the Roman arch. I believe this is historic proof of some Roman arch figure, which was never incorporated into the ancient structures.
Korbel versus Roman arch comparison on Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbel_arch
I have much more on this figure, as it aligns with many other communities in the local Belize/Yucatan area, and actually points to an ancient Mayan temple structure, most probably decimated by the Conquistadors for use in other nearby building structures. More on this amazing find later.
Any comments would be appreciated.

|
|
As above, so below... Yucatan cities laid out with Nazca-type constellation surveying lines....
Following up on the Roman Arch geoglyph of Corozal-Belize, I am including an example of the alignment and surveying lines that most definitely connect old Mayan cities and temples with each other.
In this case, the Roman Arch near Corozal Belize, with its 30-60-90 angle, and two half-spirals, drawn over a one-mile expanse, are part of a pointing scheme towards the Northernmost Yucatan location , at a roughly 20 degree angle. I am convinced that the cityscape layouts match the astronomical map and Thuban-angle seen at Teotihuacan, connecting star cluster surveying marks near Ceres - Corozal in Belize, to a star cluster arrangement in Chetamul Yucatan to the Northeast, and beyond to the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula.
As Above in the Heavens, So Below on Earth, So Within ourselves...
We are reminded of the age-old architectural and landscaping mandate of the astronomical cultures... That the star maps, and the world maps, and the Tree of Creation (Milky Way), and even the human body, all were related to each other. Entire mythologies were synchronized to reflect this interconnection, and one of the most prominent was that of "Draco the Dragon", a circumpolar constellation around the celestial North Pole, the center of the Universe. "The flying Serpent" of the Mayan and Aztecas, the flying dragon of China, the flying lion of Babylon, transcended all these dimensions.
In studying the Yucatan with Google Earth, what particularly intrigued me was the presence of faint "laser beam" surveying pathways, from one Mayan community to another, many of them showing the limestone-white-glow indicating that these pathways were still in use by the locals, who cleared away any top vegetation in their usage. And these pathways not only seem to create a panorama of Nazca-like constellation arrangements, but they also pointed to old city-scape arrangements and Temple structures, that no longer may exist above ground.
So to my happy surprise, in "lining" the old limestone pathways near the Northeast Yucatan peninsula, I seemed to have outlined a Draco constellation arrangement over an old Mayan community tapestry of flattened structures, ... an old Mayan cityscape which seems scrubbed of all elevated man-made habitation.
Example.... Nazca Like Layout in the Yucatan?
Draco comparison with Astronomical Lines of Northern Yucatan...
Virtual Guarantee, a treasure trove of antiquities...
I have to believe that there are hundreds of similar sites abondoned in the Yucatan, some as old as 3000 years ago, some as recent as 1955. The big news for me, and I don't want to start an antiquities rush in this area, is that if this is an old city-scape layout, showing faint signs of adobe floor plans, identical to the Catal Huyuk-Mesopotamian architectural styles, then there is the potential that this is a Pompeii-style archaeological site, rich with old pottery, sub-foundation mummies of "ancestors", and priceless historical trinkets.
Yucatan, Leveled Ancient City-Scape?
I am guessing that numerous hurricanes, tsunamis, and wind over the last 3000 years have scrubbed the top soil clean, and wiped out the elevated adobe structures. It probably served as a message to the ancient settlers... unless we build massive temple structures, protecting our lands and water sources, "these periodic disasters will doom us".
There is the added double-edged sword of agriculture... pulling out the trees and tilling the soil makes the area prone to disastrous natural damages. Hence, I believe this particular Northern Yucatan site was abandoned, and more centralized sites like Chichen Itza were built in the interior.

| Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 1:44 am Post subject: God Message from the Homesick Samurai King, in Cuba! |
|
|
I keep exceeding myself with this Google Earth tool set, and this entry will be what I will call for the rest of my life...
"God Message from the homesick Samurai".
While researching coastal sites along Cuba's Western side, the Arroyo del Rio area, and Bahia de Guadiana, I came across a peninsula which can only be described as an intensive temple structure area.
This Peninsula is complete with a 1 mile geoglyph head of a King, possibly with a Pharoah-type crown or helmet. In fact, the helmet could be Asian Samurai, or Roman Gladiator, but the similarities are striking to many ancient helmet shapes, and the facial shape reminds me of the Sphinx in Egypt.
In addition, nearby are several moat-surrounded lake-cenotes, one in the phallic shape leading to a "cosmic egg" area, with underwater structures and walkways, strongly indicating the need for security against competing tribes.
To the North of the geoglyph of the head portrait is a HUGE area of tapestry designs, strongly suggesting a language documentary of some sort written in stone settings.
The direct Google Earth image is much more clear and explicit...
What is particularly amazing to me is the story these temple-city-structures seem to tell.
It is a God message from a King, facing West, most probably indicating the place of that King's conception and birth.
With a trace of imagination in my heart, on the perpetual prayers of all humankind, I can guess the King is telling the Gods up above...."Yes, I am King of Western Cuba, this Peninsula, but I was born in the far West, and my fate tells me I will not be able to return. Send a message to the land of my birth, that I would trade all this, to come home one last time."
OK... so can I be sure of anything here? Absolutely not. I will be asking my Japanese and Asian counterparts to study the shape of the helmet headgear of this Pharoah Samurai King, to see if it looks familiar to them, as it seems to me. On the top of the helmet is what I almost certainly suspect is a Chinese pole axe shape, with fluted horns, and a flying serpent crown. Of course, this is speculation from an amateur, myself.
What most people are learning, as I have recently learned, is the Asian mapping of the Western hemisphere thousands of years ago. The original Huang Di, the Yellow Emperor of 2600 BC, is alleged to have mapped the western hemisphere, calling it the "Hemlock Tree with the hundred mile waist" (meaning Panama).
Huang Di #2, of the 400 BC era is also alleged to have mapped the western hemisphere, and someone along the way called it "Fusang". Numerous Chinese, Japanese, and Indonesian artifacts are found all over the ancient Americas, including ancient Chinese ceramics found in a Lake in New Jersey.
Christopher Colombus told the Pope in 1493 that among the persons he discovered on Hispaniola were Chinese people, with Chinese symbolics which the Marco Polo expeditions had revealed to the world in 1215.
Note: Thanks to Professor Shelton D. of Georgetown University for being the first to respond to my academic alert to this archaeological treasure, which, if unstudied will most certainly evolve 10 years from now into a golf course. Of course, if any academic institutions are interested, please contact me via email.
In any way, if the character in this geoglyph is Nubian, or Roman, or Phoenician, or Egyptian or Asian, I feel so proud of myself to send this ancient message back to the homeland of this homesick King, which is probably Asia.

|
|
A great blogger named Maciamo mentioned on the Japanese Forum I group with... www.eupedia.com/forum/ ... that the figure and the helmet do not look Samurai, but more "Amerindian". He is right, of course.
Yes, they remind me of Amerindian look too. But would it be unfair of me to ask about the Samurai helmets and figures... "Don't they also look Amerindian in artistic designs, or stepped colors and patterns, or is that universal among too many cultures?"
I say "Yes", and "Yes", and the Asian cultures were here in the Americas before Columbus... totally profound! (shock)
In an architecture sense, the best direction is the Easterly direction, to the rising sun, and "rebirth", and "renewal". Pointing west usually indicates "end of life", and the setting sun, and "bad magic", and "the moon god", etc. But the combination of birth sequence scene, plus looking West to me indicates... "longing for the birthplace", the "homeland", but that is my amateur opinion.
I have outlined the facial armor of the figure. You may ask...Why is it facial armor and not scarification tatoos? ...Answer, because it seems to exceed the nose area like metal plate and certainly protects the neck areas.
Does it have to be Samurai? No. It might be Persian. It might be Chinese, Nubian, Greek, Cathaginian, or all of the above. I think it is a great intellectual exercise, for smarter people than me, and it certainly is intriguing.
On the etymology side, and pardon me, this may be a distraction element...but I have always wondered about the huge similarity between the place name... Gulf of Campeche off the coast of Yucatan, and the name of old Cambodia... "Kampuchea", another "conincidence" of course.
Exactly what you already know, the world is connected is connected, for thousands of years.

|
|
On the northernmost portion of Manhattan Island is a 20-acre area called Inwood Park. The presence of ancient Indian settlements is well known in this area, as is an ice-age cave, carbon-dated almost 10,000 years ago, or so I have been told.
In Google Earth, I have traced ancient astronomical lines across Inwood, including a Cosmic spiral figure near the northernmost point.
(be aware of advertising popups...)
As everyone knows, the naming conventions of the constellations have changed over the millenia, so when I notice a strong resemblance with the cosmic spiral, and curving snake-line next to it, I can't be sure that this was known in ancient times as "Draco the dragon", or the "club of Hercules", or anything. I do know that the place markers that I seem to observe, closely resemble what might be called today the Draco constellation.
Note: This Draco flying serpent group might also be related to the serpent mound people found in Ohio, known today as the Hopewell sites.

I am again reminded that it seems as if the first actions of the original settlers be they Babylonian or Egyptian, when they organized villages, was to set down astronomical "lines of sight". The primary line North-South was aimed at the star "Thuban", the celestial center of the universe.
This information has been sent to the New York City, Department of Parks and Recreation, and to Columbia University, New York City.
