Native American stone artifacts from central Kentucky.

The isosceles pyramidal triangle on this ancient mound site seems to refer directly to a portal and some kind of transit connection with celestial lights within our night sky. Many of the pyramidal triangle symbols found on the stones from this site are located on the edge of a stone and more often in the mid-point of the lower hypotenuse of a stone, most likely referring to Earth's location within the celestial pyramidal grid of our galaxy.

The image field on the face of this stone could possibly be describing the mechanism "Energy Arc" that exists within the pyramidal energy grid of a "Land Portal" on Earth, or this image field could be explaining the specific ancient celestial culture that traveled across the pyramidal grid of our galaxy across the great arch of celestial lights that make up our Galaxy as can be seen in our night sky. Perhaps this stone even explains the region of our galaxy this particular celestial culture came from in relation to the pyramidal grid of our galaxy. We can never really never know for certain, however these diagram illustrations on stones found on this North America Mound certainly don't follow the technologies and cultural art patterns of the Native American Indigenous Peoples who once lived in this region. Where we go from this point is uncertain???

Another time of day, another position of the sun, and with each photo the images become clearer and clearer with their messaging. The previous micro photo in this series was found over 6 years ago; however it was near impossible to identify the underlying Amphora symbol within the micro image field without finally studying this much larger Amphora symbol. It takes a long time to learn to see the complexity of the images on the stones from this ancient mound site; however when you finally begin to understand just how advanced, brilliant, and clever these ancient unknown celestial cultures were; we begin to realize just how small we are in the large infinite spiral wheel of life within our galaxy and beyond.

I could spend countless hours just studying the micro-images with the pyramidal structure in the lower right quadrant of this stone; not to mention the infinite micro diagrams embedded with the milky pale ochre sky-like background in this lithic landscape styled illustration. One single stone on this site could be compared with an immense modern encyclopedia or dictionary of information; but the images are in the format of a celestial micro diagram that can only really be studied at over 20x's magnification taking great time and patience. I guess it becomes a matter of learning how to see and think like our ancients that will finally unlock some of the hidden answers to our ultimate celestial origin across deep time; North America, culture unknown.

This lacustrine shoreline consists of lithic gravel composed of Devonian-aged carbonate rocks (limestone) - many of the clasts are boulders. The island is Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, Ohio. The exposed bedrock here is the Columbus Limestone (Middle Devonian).

Scenes from the Artists Alley on the final day of Katsucon on February 17, 2013.

This piece is different from lithic artifacts on this site, because it is two pieces fused together; perhaps explaining a similar narrative as found with other stones and artifacts found on this site. If you look at the estimated shape of our galaxy from a distant perspective; the outer shape is similar to a rotating pinwheel shape. The composition of this piece appears similar in form to a modern petroleum based plastic or polymer formed by intense heat production; this piece is clearly two pieces fused together, similar in form to a pinwheel. Perhaps this ancient unknown culture was knowledgeable and experienced enough to consider our galaxy from a more experienced perspective discounting the individual arms of our galaxy as less important, and perhaps it was more important for this culture to consider our galaxy two separate entities rotating similar in form to a pinwheel pattern of rotation controlled by two specific primary entities. In our world we have good vs evil, light vs dark, man vs woman, day vs night; perhaps these composite artifacts are actually of a far earlier time frame when our Milky Way Galaxy was actually an end result of two smaller galaxies that came to collide and eventually merge with each other as one???

In a three dimensional sphere there is no specific up or down; and wherever cultures or celestial entities exist within this sphere; their individual location is always considered "up"; and all others deviate from the concept of up and down, east and west, north and south, and beyond; all other positions within this sphere is other than "UP".

Perhaps it is these two sections together that are bound together with an energy source completing the pyramidal core: and Earth's location just happens to exist within this mid-point of the lower triangular hypotenuse line, and perhaps Earth has always been part of this complex rotating energy core of dual systems now existing within one single galaxy???

The light echoes surrounding the stones on this site are primarily blue, however we have found there are certain times of year; perhaps the shortest or longest days of the year that we come to know as the Summer and Winter Solstice; perhaps it is this time of year that we experience amber and blue within the light echo background surrounding these stones and artifacts?

On other stones and artifacts on this site we have isolated a certain region of our galaxy that serves or can be qualified as the "Great Divide", perhaps aligning with the concept that within the core of our Galaxy there may be two distinct circulating regions that were and are known exist with this distant culture???

Galaxies were and are known to collide with each other and there is new evidence that our Milky Way Galaxy was actually the result of a collision of two galaxies roughly 3 Billion years ago; what if these particular two part, two winged, and/or two distinct ridges as found in the previous stone and many others; what if this anomaly is actually this culture's way of explaining that our galaxy is actually a byproduct end-result of two merging and separate galaxies that happened across deep time???

Perhaps that is the explanation of certain artifacts found on this site that appear to be of a petroleum based composition fusing two separate entities into a single piece, such as this one??? Just a thought; North America, culture unknown.

Viola lithion, rock crevices, upper slopes of Currant Mountain, White Pine Co., NV, 18 Jul 1996. Still on the subject of Viola, this is my one photo of this rare endemic of the isolated mountain ranges of central Nevada, which was only described about 10 years ago. I found it while searching for populations of Castilleja viscidula in the southern part of its range.

The Al Hamra series is a shallow sandy soil overlying a petrogypsic layer. The soils are typically well to excessively drained. They occur on flats and depressions within level to gently undulating deflation and sabkha plains. They are formed from eolian sands that overlie petrogypsic materials.

 

These soils predominantly occur on depressions and flats within level to gently undulating deflation and sabkha plains. They are formed from eolian sands that overlie petrogypsic materials.

 

These soils are used for rangeland grazing of camels though vegetation cover is frequently less than 5% and often absent. Common vegetation species recorded are Haloxylon salicornicum with occasional Zygophyllum spp.

 

This soil has been described from the northern part of the Ghayathi sub-area and is also relatively common within the As Sila’ sub-area. Occasional sites have also been described in the Al Ain subarea. The main feature of this soil is the shallow depth (<50cm) to a petrogypsic horizon and the high salinity levels in the soil overlying the hardpan. The soil material above the hardpan is sandy and also contains gypsum. The high level of salinity and limited depth to the hardpan layer are major constraints to the irrigable use of this soil. Limited depth to the hardpan layer restricts water movement, moisture retention and presents a barrier to root development further restricting the availability of nutrients. This soil is considered unsuitable for irrigated agriculture.
