Labyrinth Mesoamerica
Labyrinths do, of course, occur in nature and must surely have inspired humans to create labyrinthine symbols. The Greek word for the Nautilus shell, for example, is laburinthoi.
...
And finally, we find the labyrinth-like meander design featured in Mesoamerican art and architecture. For example, the xicalcoliuhqui, known as a “step” or “stepped” fret—greca in Spanish—is a common motif in Mesoamerican art (pic 5). It consists of three or more steps connected to a hook or spiral. The motif appears on temples and other sacred buildings such as the Pyramid of the Niches at the Veracruz site of El Tajin.

Notes: game was on...on the radio...Angels at Rangers...Angels 8-3...put a halo over this one!...how are the Dodgers doing?...brbk...Dodgers 9, Reds 1...both Giants and Dodgers at 7 and 2...another year like last year!...Giants and Dodgers head to head!...Angels at 6-4, first place in American League West...Astros 5-4...can breath now...sore afraid they would be like 0-9 after Astros spanked them...good sign is they are winning with everyone contributing...but then, they were playing the Mariners and Texas...the Labyrinth is yet another motif from ancient times inexplicably found all around the world...Mexiclore relates it to the step fret...maybe so...
