All Around The World (Pre-History)

I think we decided the bloke on the chalk hillside was 'modern'.

English chalk-outline guy is in the Master of Animals pose. This recently discovered Nazca line (the ones viewable from the air) in South America had to be discovered with the help of AI (whatever that means). I think Master of Animals is a later embellishment of squatterman, making the chalk guy definitely more modern (if not fully modern).

[Pete Jones]

The head shape on the Nazca character is interesting too, because it's extremely common on squattermen, at least in the western hemisphere.

For instance our comet guy:



Or this version of comet guy, who appears to be throwing something with streaming tails coming off the sides:

It's not clear to me why you need to draw eyes as big circles, when you are perfectly capable of executing other anatomy just fine (like the Abbas Giant).

The Wandlebury Giant of Gogmagog Hill (which I learned about 4 minutes ago) is now fascinating to me. This article* goes into the "Establishment's" attacks and now I have to get his book.

But here it is. The eyes are so familiar from all over the world. Very possible to fake, but I have this feeling....

The softening/lenition can happen on both ends of the word, so in Turkic languages, the "chief, lord" meaning is AGHA....originally (KH)AGHA?

If so, this would make the title AGA KHAN something like CHIEF CHIEF.

Here's wiki on that title:

[Mick Harper]

Mention of the Aga Khan reminds me there might be a new country in Central Asia called Badakhshan. This is where a bunch of Nizam Ismaeli Muslims live, followers of the Aga Khan. You can view an interesting--and so far as I can judge, reliable--account of it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPB5AKZ7mQM

Countries' names are worth adding to the watch-list because they often incorporate ancient names for people as well as less ancient names of what the ruler was called, e.g. Herzegovina, the Sanjak etc.

[Pete Jones]

There's a great book (The Key, by John Philip Cohane) which is maybe even correct about how the word "Havoc" is the combination of the names of two gods, Hawa and Og. And then it claims that hundreds of place-names are spinoffs of these two words. Avebury and Ogbury, for two.

[Pete Jones]

But are these comets or meteors thrown by a cosmic god? Since I think this all goes back to the Electric Universe idea where these figures are depictions of plasma formations (squattermen), then the idea that primitives thought the gods in the sky were throwing rocks at them fits in well.

So, are these projectiles:



The same as what this cosmic god (Venus) is holding?

This came across my google path today. The headline of the story was "Mysterious Drawing of an African Lion Found in Ancient Puerto Rican Cave, Where There Are No Lions"

It's this:



They postulate a slave must have drawn it.

I postulate it is squatterman, just like the one from the "oldest coin"



The lion's mane is very familiar from these figures all over the world. Here's a couple "mane" examples:

Certainly. Maybe. Maybe certainly. But it doesn't particularly look like a lion to me. Maybe more like a lion than the oldest coin image looked like a stag. The official dating of (all) rock drawings is something I take with salt.

A Celtic coin. Notice under the horse.
