"Have you considered that tocapus are just decorations, DavidDavid?"...my rational opposing self can be annoying...and, yes, I have, and not just tocapus...there was once this weird movie called Zardoz, and a scene stuck in my head from way back then...the hero is on a knowledge quest (weirdly like the current showWestworld on HBO!), and while hiding in some foliage, a flower bed, he asks the 'voice' observing him (the voice is from Zardoz, an all seeing wizard who manifests as a giant snarling floating head the size of a skyscraper, all controlling, all knowing, and always about with parenthetical remarks!--Zardoz is a stylization of Wizard of Oz)...Sean Connery asks what the flower is, and Zardoz tells him 'decorations'....I thought that very cruel, but saw in that, that world view that animals and plants, and all things not human, are 'decorations'...things to be used and consumed by humanity...movie's a hoot...and, no, the Andeans' tocapus aren't just decorations...and they may not be Andean writing, or a GR code!, but they had/have much meaning to those who made/make them...I watched a couple fellows do a review of Zardoz on youtube, and curiously, a movie clip from the very end of the movie shows a scene of those buildings in England with the Pugin chimneys!...lol...a curio...go figure...I did that search, "tocapus writing" as mentioned yesterday...and that brings up a lot!...for sometime...maybe time in this post...game on...on the radio...Angels and Mariners...this is it...Angels need to catch the Mariners...and from here on out, Angles play a lot of games against teams in their division...those games, if they win them, mean they gain a whole game with each win...now, they are like ten or more games behind the Mariners and Astros...they need series sweeps!...much to ask...Ohtani back in the line up!...Heaney on the mound...Chachapoya culture...they have statues like the Easter Island ones, which makes four cultures I've collected...five with Easter Island...by 'like' I mean they resemble, look self similar...the Chimu have one too...Fletcher lead off single...Trout up...comebacker...Upton up...statues I mean that have the Easter Island look...for sometime I'll post pics side by side...this post fiftieth in a series...see previous...the Mormon's study Mesoamerica, and South America, and North America too, with a kind of mania...looking for diffusion of the lost tribes of Israel...site I found goes on and on about the tocapus...like a series of six blogger's posts, each much longer and involved than mine...lemmeesee if I can get link back...K...Pujols up...what?...maybe not...Simmons walks...ground out...to bottom of 1st...

Lost Kingdoms of South America (2013) Ep1 People of the Clouds - Duration: 54:04.
Archaeologist Dr Jago Cooper reveals the true character of this stunning continent through its culture, people and landscapes.
neat clip!...and in it, author interviews an Andean woman weaving a textile with tocapus...and he asks, 'what do the designs mean?'...and she giggles, and says, 'They're me.'...and her friends giggle too...and narration leaves off to other topics...on the other side of the world there are mountain cultures with colorful textiles like the Andeans'...maybe wherever there are mountain people, who need warm clothes, one sees these colorful textiles...or northern climes...and there's this 'something' of world wide similarities in weaving...another run on a passed ball/wild pitch...K...two out...messed up inning for Angels...Mariners 3-0...K...oh...it was strike out when the ball got away, so batter made first base on that...Heaney had 3 Ks, and a ground out in the inning...top of 2nd...Ohtani up...K...

Double cloth or double weave (also doublecloth, double-cloth, doubleweave) is a kind of woven textile in which two or more sets of warps and one or more sets of weft or filling yarns are interconnected to form a two-layered cloth.[

Double weaving is an ancient technique. Surviving examples from the Paracas culture of Peru have been dated to before AD 700.[

In the shadow of the 20,800-foot snow-clad peak of Ausangate in the southern Peruvian Andes, Maria Merma Gonzalo works at her loom, leaning back on a strap around her waist, just as her ancestors have done for centuries. She uses a wichuna, or llama bone pick, to weave the images of lakes, rivers, plants, condors and other symbols of her life into the colorful alpaca fabric she is making.
.. ... ...
In Pacchanta, as is traditional throughout the Andes, Maria taught her daughter Silea the designs in a particular sequence, as Manuela had taught her. The designs, or pallay (Quechua for “to pick”), help people remember their ancestral stories, as they are constructed one thread at a time.
... ... ...
When death comes, Quechua people wrap their loved ones for burial in their finest cloth, the culmination of a life of connection with textiles. From an infant’s first breath to her last, beautiful textiles provide not only warmth, love and consolation but also a tangible sacred knowledge that they connect to a strong tradition of proud people stretching back centuries.

Mariners made out...Fletcher ground out top of 3rd...Trout up...fly out...good story...modern designs don't have the tocapus' look, they look more 'modern', but the tradition of weaving is the same as old times, and how textiles are so much of the culture's heritage...

Cloth as Community: Hmong Textiles in America
Tour extended!
The story of Hmong textile production in the diaspora reflects the radical upheaval in the external environment that Hmong refugees experienced. In traditional Hmong life in Asia, women produced complex clothing that established clan identity through abstract geometric designs in the textiles, created by embroidery, appliqué, reverse appliqué, and indigo batik (by the Green Hmong).

Since ancient times Hmong people have used motifs and patterns to represent their daily life and culture on the designs of their textiles. No two jackets or skirts are the same as every garment is hand crafted to communicate a stage in the owners life.

Herodotus described some handy apparatus, made of a small wigwam of three sticks covered in felt inside which hemp seeds were burned on red hot stones, and the smoke inhaled causing the Scythians to “howl with delight”. An example of this mini stoner’s paradise was also found among one chief’s essential grave artefacts.

The paper presents preliminary observations about a 4th century BC female burial 2 from Kurgan 5 at Bulgakovo, which was accompanied by a wooden box containing three wooden distaffs, a spindle whorl made of an amphora fragment, a wooden comb and two smaller wooden boxes, one of which stored a set of at least 19 wooden weaving tablets with four holes each, an iron needle and some yarn.
