It is in the style of the Nazca Hummingbird. Like the Hummingbird, the two matching wings are composed of four equally-spaced fingers separated by spaces of the same width as the fingers. Unlike the Hummingbird, each of the fingers of the wing are the same length, truncated, cut square. The effect is artificial, as if the wing means something else. In addition, there is a fan-shaped tail, an hour-glass shaped body, six lines indicating five feathers sticking up from the top of the head, and an upper and lower bill, both curved downward. It is too symmetrical to be Ogam writing. I have found nothing in the literature to indicate that the Nazca inscribed figures on stones. Has anyone seen a similar image, or know of a Nazca image on a small stone?

This is a sad situation we have to deal with in this world. Most of the time it really sounds true and very much could be but to our disappointment the truth always comes out in the end. I will take anykind of lie detector test at any time. This will of course be at your expense. I would never lie to anyone on purpose even if someone thought it would be in their best interest. The truth will come out in the end so it is better to find out now so more people won't be damaged and other people will be accountable for it. The one they call Khanyao, Khanyau, etc. told me personally what I am about to inform you true or not, do your research. Khanyao had years of personal intimate conversations with the leader Cohanul of the yaohushua foundation organization based in Jerusalem, Israul. Khanyao said when Cohanul prayed to YAWHU UL to inform him what YAWHU UL's Son's name was, Cohanul's dream/vision, whatever, was not clear.(seems like a vision/dream from YAWHU would definately be clear!) Cohanul could not be sure if he heard yow hooo shoooah(yaohushua, yauhushua, etc.) or if it was yaw hooo shoooah ( yawhushua ). Ask Khanyao on your own, she is all over the net in chat rooms for now. Everyone who does their homework will find that there is no ow sound like wow in ancient hebrew. So common reasoning shows that this is a made up name derived from some idol or imagination. Do your part in exposing the cult of cults by copying and posting this message in as many message boards that are not subject sensitive. If you are part of this cult quit saying their made up daily abominations(tefaulyao, affirmations, gaarot, etc.) Study the teaching and links at the web site where this message board originates. The yaohushua foundation organization has nothing to back up their claim except the dream/vision that was not clear of one Cohanul,who nobody I know of knows he or she's real name! http://www.o-c-s.com/yaohushua http://dreamwater.com/lifeoftruth - Friday, September 15, 2000 at 04:19:17 (EDT) Email: whangape.eco@xtra.co.nz Comments: hello from new zealand, We have in the recent months identified a Rock Face measuring 7.4mtresx2.8metres.

For just a few moments, perhaps, max of 2-3 minutes prior to sunset, we have also observed surface rocks in other close-by locales to "capture" the sun's glow ... almost as if these rocks are "glowing from within". Obviously, these are westerly facing rocks converse to the aforementioned. Anyone observed similar phenomena? I'm trying to complete a basic paper on same.

I am looking for any evidence that people might have known the Fibonacci sequence before then as they appear in a number of natural phenomena (pine cones, sseds ...) and is related to the Golden ratio which is found in art (music) and architecture (e.g.: Ancient Greek buildings). Has anyone ever found a rock art structure which suggested that ancient peoples knew the Fibonacci numbers?
