Notes: game on...on the radio...prelims...Angels at Athletics...tocapus....that's what the scholars call the Inca emblems I've been going on about...and the Inca tunics are unkuts...so, so, with those two words for search words, I've found a whole bunch of stuff!...search: inca tocapus, inca unkuts...hmmph...I left off the last post feeling blue...going over the ending of it while jogging about Mile Square Park...in the Yale lecture, at the question and answer ending, the lecturer answered the question, 'what do the symbols on the Inca King's tunic mean?'...with a kind of media talking point answer...a put off...I suppose it could be thought the lecturer couldn't give a full answer for lack of time...but, if one has the time, compare that clip...

hmmmph...Kinsler makes out...Trout up..."a transformation of the roster"...fifteen players on the DL...Trout with a hit...I don't know Spanish...I took it, for like four semesters!, but never really knuckled down and learned it...so I don't know what all Rusbel Mollo Guzman is going on about...he looks very young...in the youtube clip he is seated beside the interviewer outside, and they talk back and forth about Tocapus and Quipos, and now and then graphics are shown...Upton walks...Pujols up...both clips show the King's Tunic...and Guzman shows many of the emblems, the tocapus, and goes over their possible meanings, pulling in Poma's illustrations, much as I have!...see previous posts...this thirty five in a series...error at first...chopper from Pujols, Athletics defender overthrows first...two runs score!...Pujols at second...one of the emblems is called the 'inca key' I learn...that's the one I 'found' else ware and matched to the King's Tunic...it's a very common tocapu on many tunics...with the new searches, I've found whole charts of the tocapus...the research is extensive...that Yale lecturer should have said that, 'the research is extensive, they're called tocapus, no one sure yet what they are'...but no, he trails off mumbling they likely have no meaning...and are just some sort of 'patches'...patches my word...was watching the Hawaii volcano clips, national guard helping out, and noticed how like tocapus they're patches are!...Angles made out...to bottom of 2nd...Angels 2-0...Scaggs on mound...for sometime more on Guzman's clip...Guzman makes the charming 'looks like' with one tocapu that looks like the step fret with the mathematical sign for square root...from the graphics, I gather that the tocapus could have meanings like the symbols for mathematic functions, - +, etc....the 'inca key' is sometimes called the per cent sign...as it looks just like one!...%...

The checkerboard pattern is known in Quechua as qolqanpata, "hill of terraces with storehouses."[1] The word qolqa refers to the individual one-room stone structures that were built in rows on hillsides. Bernabé Cobo, a 17th-century historian of the Inca empire and culture, described small square buildings "set in a line like little towers, very neatly and symmetrically and spaced two or three yards apart from one another."
... ... ...
Francisco de Xerez, writing in 1534 of the arrival of Atahualpa, the last Inca ruler, into the Spanish presence in Cajamarca, provided another military association for the type: "The men [of Atahualpa's army] began to enter the plaza; first came a squadron of Indians dressed in livery of colors in the manner of chessboards; they came removing straws from the ground and sweeping the road."[

Afterwards they took their leave, expecting Atabaliba to come and see the Governor on the following morning. His camp was formed on the skirts of a small hill, the tents, which were of cotton, extending for a league, with that of Atabaliba in the centre. All the men were on foot outside the tents, with their arms, consisting of long lances like pikes, stuck into the ground. There seemed to be upwards of thirty thousand men in the camp.
... ... ...
Presently he and his troops began to move, and the Spaniard returned and reported that they were coming, and that the men in front carried arms concealed under their clothes which were strong tunics of cotton, beneath which were stones and bags and slings; all which made it appear that they had a treacherous design. Soon the van of the enemy began to enter the open space. First came a squadron of Indians dressed in a livery of different colours, like a chessboard. They advanced, removing the straws from the ground, and sweeping the road. Next came three squadrons in different dresses, dancing and singing. Then came a number of men with armour, large metal plates, and crowns of gold and silver. Among them was Atabaliba in a litter13 lined with plumes of macaws' feathers, of many colours, and adorned with plates of gold and silver. Many Indians carried it on their shoulders on high. Next came two other
litters and two hammocks, in which were some principal chiefs; and lastly, several squadrons of Indians with crowns of gold and silver.

Central to my exploration are Inka textiles that apparently
were specifically made for or used by males or females
in pre-Columbian times. In particular, I address relationships
among tapestry-woven objects (especially those featuring
toqapus, rectangular design blocks) and those created
using warp-patterned structures.
... ... ...
A combination of repetition and symmetry with alternation
characterizes another typical Inka tunic design, which
consists of diagonals with blunted points and dots or rectangles,
often nearly square (for an example in the Textile
Museum, see https://www2.gwu.edu/~textile/AheadofHisTime/
timeline3.html). This design has been widely
referred to as the “Inka key” since J.H. Rowe (1979: 245) so
christened it.https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0ahUKEwiX16yGndfbAhWq3YMKHZeGDGwQFghFMAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdigitalcommons.unl.edu%2Fcgi%2Fviewcontent.cgi%3Farticle%3D1019%26context%3Dpct7&usg=AOvVaw00u-in523P7x_PiMLWZdAY&httpsredir=1&article=1019&context=pct7

Gate of the Gods – Hayu Marca, Peru
Back in 1996, local tour guide Jose Luis Delgado Mamani accidentally rediscovered an ancient site situated in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca and near the mountain-filled region of Hayu Brand in Peru while he was exploring the area for his job. The region itself is venerated by the local natives as the “city of the gods” and researchers are of the opinion that several monuments could be uncovered beneath its surface.

well, that just looked wrong, so I kept looking about, and find that that 'portal' is in Saudi Arabia...that site has it wrong, but I can understand maybe the confusion--that step motif that looks Inca...but let me check on Jose...Athletics have a runner...it's just an editors error...that pic should be this one, which was discovered by Jose...I guess...
bottom of 7th two outs...there's a whole bunch of those inca step tombs in Saudi Arabia, along with a lot of other things, out in the deserts that have been off limits...Saudi Arabia doesn't have tourism...yet...the King's son, among his many ambitions, is thinking to open these sites to tourists...they have only just been opened to archaeologists...and they are all agog at how much stuff is there lying about...but with my head full of the Inca checkerboard topaku, I, well, I'm all agog!....
tried to find one that has the same number of steps in the 'staircase'...go figure!...Trout walks...Angels made out...to bottom of 8th...bullpen up...there are different name for the place...

His pencil-drawn hand reaches out of the comic book, inviting the woman into it. Once inside, she too appears in the pencil-drawn form, as he sings to her and introduces her to his black-and-white world which features a sort of looking-glass portal where people and objects look real on one side and pencil-drawn on the other.

'Cause you're hot then you're cold

We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
