Lord Sipan's Cap

Notes: Game on...on the radio...Calhoun up....Angels and Athletics....opposite field double...Trout coming up as DH...top of first...hit by pitch...Boor up....DP...Simmons up....0-2...1-2...K...hmmph....I find things in much the same way that Brooks found his scarabs....see pervious post...he was looking at photographs, comparing them, and noted the similarities of the carvings on the obelisks...actually, this is pretty easy to see...and seeing how the obelisks have been researched for a long while, likely noted else ware...but who is to say?...I browse the web. google images. looking for 'finds', 'catches'...anomalous enigmas...Oop artifacts...it's not likely I'll find, or note, anything not noted before...but that's not to say something isn't new to me...A's made out...Angels up...one out...Stella up...new to me, and dear reader...so, so, I found a treasure!....I noted that Lord Sipan's cap was decorated with a step fret...that alone a treasure, insomuch as it emphasizes how important, and ubiquitous, the step fret is...well, well. browsing about, I found a Moche architectural ceramic model with the same motifs of Lord Sipan's headdress...the step fret. and the tall fan...the ceramic has registers...rows of motifs...step frets alternating with the fan...it's like a little temple with a spiral ramp...on top a small house which has stepped gables...and a quadripartite design on my suspects list!...so, so, here is where putting two pics side by side, a match cut, helps...brb...bottom of third. no score...



from google image search: moche architectural models

hard to source...pic shows up often...along with a whole bunch of Moche models...which are really cool...and often have the step frets...note these have the steps and triangle....and note the little square in the middle of the fans!...this is kind of like my 'scarab' wala that Brooks came to looking at the obelisk scarabs...



Sipan's hat has the steps, triangle, and the curl...the little square supports the fan...there are other ceramics that have the square in the center of the fan motif...pic is from wiki...A's have a couple two out runners...noted by Brooks was the fidelity of the hieroglyphs on the different obelisks....same size, same quality...there is a similar fidelity to Moche motifs....A's make out with bases loaded...the ceramic artists knew of Lord Sipans regalia, and worked the motifs into the ceramic paintings...and, or, the regalia derived from the ceramics!...or something...I dunno...thoughts here go back to the tocapus, the Inca kings tunic, the crowstep motif on the Inca warrior tunics...motifs/artifacts are a language...when they are done well, their every aspect has import...Angels make out in nine pitches...in the off season. I collected a bunch of step fret stuff...and other stuff...cant present it all at once...enough for today!...have chores to do!...game in progress...bottom of fourth, Skaggs still on the mound...no score...woops...A's with home run...A's 1-0...

Aku

Notes: game on...on the radio...bottom of third...hit battter...bases loaded...Athletics up...Angels on Defense...tried to get computer going...dumped me just as I finally got it going...thought came that my "aku" is awry...two rbi single...A's 2-0...fly out...I miss place things, pens run out of ink, things just go south in unexpected ways...pics, profile pic, follower pics, in the column to right, dont show...something I copied pasted may have done that, so will redo last two posts...on the tablet now...cant trust it to copy paste to blog...tablet is like a hundred times faster than old laptop...Angels made out...two run dinger for the A's 4-0...hmmph...I'd like to find a page about just what aku is...it harks from Easter Island...I think...Angels make out...to bottom of fifth...Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas made much of it...aku/luck...I happened on it reading about Thor Hyerdahl setting up archaeological dig in Moche lands in Peru...brb...Hyerdahl's book AKU AKU has meaning of aku...kindofa pooka...lucky giant rabbit...Trout lined out...Pujols up...got on I think...Boers makes out...to bottom of sixth...it's just the tiny type, touchscreens, inadvertent fingertip clicks...our modern supernatural gremlins...try to get to blog on computer...brb...there...here...I moved the big screen from over head at my feet while I'm stretched out on my bunk...an innovation going back to cabin life in the Valley...lazy sorta, but comfortable...now I have it at my computer station/desk, and sit on a stool, upside down bucket, to work...and not comfortable...I can hear my neck and back asking why?...well. there. I moved me over to the bunk, and can look sideways over to the screen...to top of eighth...and..I cant see clear...where's open new screen...



there...one of Luxor Obelisks from wiki commons....Trout with a sac fly...Cozart with rbi hit...A's 4-2...one out....lemme see if I can get Peter Brooks bit about the scarabs on the obelisks...brb...Pujols with hit...runner first and third...nope..page copy protected...here's link again: http://ancientegyptiantechnologies.uk/scarab-beetle-infestation/

Angels make out...to bottom of eighth...what Brooks says, is that he noted on photos of different obelisks that the scarabs were the same size, and even in their fine detail, were nearly identical...as the obelisks he noted were different, and made like seventy years apart, it is a wonder the fidelity of the craftsman...thought is they had templates...looking closely at the Luxor obelisk, one can see this craftsmanship, and noting that other obelisks have identical in size and quality hieroglyphs is, a head scratcher!...I thought the obelisks were sundials, but apparently not, though maybe used to note the sunrise and sunset. first and last sunrays...to have such a community indicator is, kind of cool...A's made out...to top of ninth...Calhoun 3-2 K...LaStella up...new player...where's Trout?..thought he followed Calhoun....Stella...don't know new players' name spelling...ground out...Fletcher up...line out to right...a quiet ninth inning...sigh...A's 4 Angels 2...

Oop Holes

Notes: game on...on the radio...top of fourth...Angels and Athletics...top of Angels' batting order...Calhoun up...ground out...Trout up...long fly out to center...the Egyptians made a lot of obelisks, and many of them are decorated with finely carved hieroglyphs...the story I cited yesterday noted that on some of the obelisks the carvings of scarabs were exactly alike...same size, same dimensions...thinking on the observation....Simmons broken bat single...Pujols up...thinking on the observation, I thought the obelisks look to be printed, and the same type was used...like each hieroglyph a stamp, and stamped into the stone...author's thought was that they were made with templates...bases loaded!...Cozart up...I dunno...if one sees wood signs made with a router at the fair, one gets the idea...ground out...I need a pic to show this...on the tablet again...tough to open multiple windows...brb...hmmph...I cant get the pics from the tablet to paste into the blog editor...even links pasted in dont turn blue and so, clickable...anyway, the Luxor Obelisks are good examples...bases loaded for Athletics...there's something called Oop Artifacts...K, one out...DP!...

That the scarabs are identical on the different obelisks, is Oop!  The Mysterions are trying to find Oop things.  Lots of clips about the Schist Disk...Trout with single, top of 6th...DP...hmmph...A's wap a home run, go up 2...top of seventh...one site has it that the Disk is like a hole, a hole threatening to get larger...Oop...it could change the story of what the Egyptians could do...I dont know if any ancient culture has just one story...hard to say if even current ones do!...Angels made out...bottom of seventh....Oop holes, evidence that threatens to change the story, is sort of what creative sorts look for!...I have a favorite Oop Artifact, the step frets...they're a hole that shows promise of getting wider...my 'cause celeb' I've come to call them!...two out...brb...

hmmph...A's made out...top of eighth...Lucroi lead off single...a lead off single is like the offense's oop...oh...another hit...Calhoun up...so, so,...a hole has begun for the opposing pitcher...Calhoun waps a double!...A's 2-1...Angels found a chink in A's armor...

The idiom "chink in one's armor" refers to an area of vulnerability. It has traditionally been used to refer to a weak spot in a figurative suit of armor. The standard meaning is similar to that of Achilles' heel.^[1]

from wiki

W...bases loaded rbi...Angels 2-2...the Mysterions are always attacking the armor of the Academics...which is odd...as I dont know if the Academics have a singular story...two run single by Simmons...what did Trout do?...he must have walked...Albert hits into a DP...Trout came home with Calhoun...Cozart up...generally, it is thought that the ancient civilizations developed indpendently....my step fret mania has me thinking that the ones in the Americas developed together...the Mysterions are a motly bunch...but, they have cause celebs...Angels made out...A's with lead off 'hole'....there's a movie called Holes...broken bat DP...Fletcher Angels' second baseman...good!...A's made out...top of ninth...

Notes: game on...wait, over, on the radio...lol...I forgot it was opening day, Angels vs Oakland...bought a new radio, was all set to pick up where I left off at end of last season...post game on...'quick ballgame' two hours eighteen minutes...hmmph...not much longer than one of my softball games...I've become a softball umpire!...much fun...anyway, Angels lose 4-0...waking up from afternoon nap....you know, I have only one concern, my dog Maya...she's fine, 'cept she's too friendly and big to take for walks...she bounces on folk, and plays rough--a bite hazard...sigh...anyway, having only one, I seem to have this compulsion to take on other concerns...just posted to youtube comment section about ocean acidification, and sea level rise covering up Town...youtube comment sections have a special place...they are, potentially, a boon to crowd sourcing, and this because of their popularity...unfortunately, most are one sided, and trolled, and just not working as back and forth conversations...idealy, a youtube channel topic is presented well, and the comments become a focus for elaboration...this is actually a very old circumstance...someone like Plutarch comes along, and then for centuries comments on his 'channel' follow on...today, I had a little back and forth in comments to a Brien Forester, an ancient mystery mysterion, youtube clip about Uxmal, Mexico...brb...

OO:one poem, notes:3/7/19

Orion's Onion

 Notes: At times, in my ecletic web browsings, I get annoyed, with it, just the all of it, and will leave off and hunt up an old poem or two to sorta re-calibrate my brain. Shakespeare's Sonnet 43 was a random choice, and on reading it, I thought, "Why didn't that show up when I searched 'shadow shadow', or 'shadow's shadow'"?  I'd written a poem, maybe one of my sonnets, with shadow shadow, and thought to check, as I often do, if on the web a record of it being used. A tough search, as google will lump shadow shadow into just shadow. I think! Oh, I have to re-visit this search...brb. Well, woop!, I find it is from Bible, Ecclesiates, sorta...

 quote

 Words of the Spokesman,✻ king David’s son, that reigned once at Jerusalem. A shadow’s shadow, he tells us, a shadow’s shadow; a world of shadows! How is man the better for all this toiling of his, here under the sun? Age succeeds age, and the world goes on unaltered. Sun may rise and sun may set, but ever it goes back and is reborn. Round to the south it moves, round to the north it turns; the wind, too, though it makes the round of the world, goes back to the beginning of its round at last. All the rivers flow into the sea, yet never the sea grows full; back to their springs they find their way, and must be flowing still. Weariness, all weariness; who shall tell the tale? Eye looks on unsatisfied; ear listens, ill content. Ever that shall be that ever has been, that which has happened once shall happen again; there can be nothing new, here under the sun. Never man calls a thing new, but it is something already known to the ages that went before us; only we have no record of older days. So, believe me, the fame of to-morrow’s doings will be forgotten by the men of a later time.

Moved text from memo on tablet, and, room...

Sisters

Noted my absence from your many lands

As was I a shadow of a shadow:

Gathered wind vane terns rest on the shore sands;

Flown away over a rolling wave's row.

Did I set down the poisoned jeweled cup,

Or without music to gather my steps

Reasonably refrain from climbing up

Their Jacob's Ladder to this heaven's debts?

Beyond that fence were Babylon's forked tongues

And my kin and I knew but only one

And over top back down those fearful rungs

Reached an interrogated finished run.

Chained, new clothed, shy, demur foreign sisters,

Hand in hand, questioned, translate my old fears.

Sonnet 43

William Shakespeare

When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow’s form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.




quote from analysis site


Something is always lost when you paraphrase a poem, they say, but this is arguably truer of Sonnet 43 than most other poems, since much of the sonnet’s energy derives from its play on words – such as the way ‘form’ shifts from a noun to a verb in the sixth line: ‘How would thy shadow’s form form happy show’ (and look at how ‘show’, while we’re on this line, is a constriction, and yet at the same time a happy and brighter recasting, of ‘shadow’).

shadow shadow is a double word...such I've gone on about before...and that analysis is spot on:

"'form' shifts from a noun to a verb"
