Notes: from the sprawl:..the topapus' 'sprawl':...one's eye can't settle and focus on one emblem, and make sense of it...like M. C. Escher's painting...one sees a fish morph into a bird and bird back into a fish and such...I thought maybe the school of art called 'cubism' is like this...maybe it is...certainly Picasso's paintings from when he followed this school...maybe created it...are like this, and his paintings later too...well, there's the big sprawl of his painting called Guernica...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernica_(Picasso)
he used house paint, for goodness sake...an aside!...but that's a modern 'tocapu'...and very different from Inca/Ancient art, in that it is the symbology of one individual, rather than a culture's...ancient artists would design in keeping with their culture's symbols...nowadays, individual artists make up their own, and viewers are invited to figure them out...there has been much figuring about Picasso's painting!...what can I compare this to!?...well, it's like making up your own game, playing it, and asking others to play along...in contrast to taking up baseball, that artistry, with the hope of someday taking 'the stage' in the major leagues...baseball is a tradition that makes baseball players...the ancients had symbolic traditions that made their artists...somewhere back in time is a before and after, before when artists were being made by tradition, after when artists abandoned traditions, making new art...oddly, and ironically, the new art in turn becomes traditional...there are schools now of artists that paint in the cubist style and such...sorting all that out is for the curators of art!...anyway, from my own 'sprawl', I thought to track down the number '23'...my pre- supposition was that it is the tilt angle of the Earth's axis, and in their art, the ancients symbolically reference it...or so some of the Mysterions' on and ons would have it!...the tilt is very important...it is one of those essential things that makes for life on Earth...there are a whole bunch of these...the Earth's Moon, the distance from the Sun, and such...without the Moon, there wouldn't be tides, and the Ocean's would stagnate...the Earth's distance from the Sun is in what is called the 'Goldilocks Zone'...where water can exist in its three phases...and the Pole's tilt makes the Seasons...there are so many of these necessary things for life on Earth...well, it's been noted...lemessee if I can find that...well, there's too much to sort through, but here's one take to make a grab at and follow on...

that we have, in a sense, won a "cosmic jackpot," and that conditions are "just right" for life, as in The Story of the Three Bears. As Davies writes elsewhere, "There is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the universe is in several respects 'fine-tuned' for life."[2]
After explaining this enigma, Davies discusses possible solutions, such as the anthropic principle, the idea of a multiverse which contains many different universes (including our "just right" one), and the idea of intelligent design.

Author Christopher Booker characterises this as the "dialectical three", where "the first is wrong in one way, the second in another or opposite way, and only the third, in the middle, is just right". Booker continues: "This idea that the way forward lies in finding an exact middle path between opposites is of extraordinary importance in storytelling".[24] This concept has spread across many other disciplines, particularly developmental psychology, biology, economics and engineering where it is called the "Goldilocks principle". In planetary astronomy, a planet orbiting its sun at just the right distance for liquid water to exist on its surface, neither too hot nor too cold, is referred to as being in the 'Goldilocks Zone'.

Each gun weighed approximately 16,000 pounds (7,300 kg). Monitor's guns used the standard propellant charge of 15 pounds (6.8 kg) specified by the 1860 ordnance for targets "distant", "near", and "ordinary", established by the gun's designer Dahlgren himself.[94] They could fire a 136-pound (61.7 kg) round shot or shell up to a range of 3,650 yards (3,340 m) at an elevation of +15°.

What is interesting, is that the tilt angle of the Djed is very close to 23º – close enough to the earth's axis obliquity angle of of 23.5º – and so appears to be a very early reference to the tilt angle of the Earth and the obliquity of its celestial pole or axis.

Time, we are told, began with the first appearance of RA; eternity is referred to as “since the time of RA.” These are ideas that strongly suggest the role of light as the ultimate yardstick of the space/time continuum.

The 23 enigma can be viewed as an example of apophenia, selection bias, and confirmation bias.[citation needed] In interviews, Wilson acknowledged the self-fulfilling nature of the 23 enigma, implying that the real value of the Law of Fives and the 23 enigma is in their demonstration of the mind's ability to perceive "truth" in nearly anything.

and reading that I happened on apophenia, and thought I need to work up a post around that...which is whereabout I am!...and looking up something else, synchronicity, as in the experience of coincidence, I found synchronicity and apophenia together!...Angels made out...top of 6th...

Likewise, in psychology and sociology, the term apophenia is used for the mistaken detection of a pattern or meaning in random or meaningless data.[31] Skeptics, such as Robert Todd Carroll of the Skeptic's Dictionary, argue that the perception of synchronicity is better explained as apophenia.
... ... ...
A famous example of this is the fact that human face recognition is so robust, and based on such a basic archetype (essentially two dots and a line contained in a circle), that human beings are very prone to identify faces in random data all through their environment, like the "man in the moon", or faces in wood grain, an example of the visual form of apophenia known as pareidolia.

After days of intense and viral speculation, archaeologists in Egypt this week finally opened up that mysterious, 2,000-year-old giant black sarcophagus.
So far, no curse has been unleashed (that we know of), but the team did discover something slightly gruesome inside - three skeletons, most likely soldiers, decaying in a pool of dark red, murky sewage water.

For the record, this montage was not created or posted by me, but it is interesting and I would like to know the source of the Meso-American images, so that I can research it further. What do the experts say about them? I have studied the Raising of the Djed Pillar Egyptian Iconography in depth and have a lot to say about it, but I would need to know a lot more about the compared Meso-American Icons before making a judgement about them.

One of these Trees / Pillars is the Asherah Shekinah / Shakti of the Jewish Duo-Deity ELI-YAHU. With ELI and YAHU this threesome of Trees or Pillars is HARI (Krishna), VASUDEVA (Balabhadra) and SUBHADRA. The Greeks called this Triad Helios Apollo, Dionysos and Artemis. Artemis was the older female twin of Apollo (Helios Kouros). Artemis was definitely Subhadra-Kali or Durga when Durga is considered the Sister and not the Consort of Vishnu. I have seen and read about numerous iconographic and doctrinal connections between Subhadra and Artemis as the Shaktis of Helios-Apollo and Krishna. The idea that the Djed Pillar(s) are Phallic Symbols is just ridiculous, considering that one of the Djed Triad Trees or Pillars represents Asherah the Shakti of ELI-YAHU!

The mural images are from Cacaxtla, Tlaxcala in Eastern central Mexico. They are from the Classical period in Mesoamerica. The images depict the formation of the two primary warrior societies (Eagle and Jaguar). The column is what scholars usually refer to as a “serpent bar”, and it symbolizes divine power.

Previously we have clarified that the concept of “Tree of Life” (as well as any other type of axis mundi) is a metaphoric image that refers to the placenta. Starting from this premise is easy to understand how the “beverage of immortality” that, in various mythologies, is obtained from the aforementioned tree is nothing but the liquid nourishment (a real “liquid of life”) that from the placenta reaches the fetus by means of the umbilical cord: let’s see some examples.

Tree of Life[edit]
An important element in every stupa is the "Tree of Life". This is a wooden pole covered with gems and thousands of mantras; it is placed in the central channel of the stupa.[43] It is positioned during a ceremony or initiation, where the participants hold colorful ribbons connected to the Tree of Life. Together, the participants make their most positive and powerful wishes, which are stored in the Tree of Life. In this way the stupa is charged, and starts to function.same as before...
