Open To Interpretation

Rattlesnake Den

Notes:  Game on...on the radio...Angels and Tigers...bottom of fourth...Angels 6-0...maybe Angels' time to dish out a whooping!...from the scholars' jargon I've noted a term, 'intuitive', as in 'intuitive observation'...the way it goes, an enigma is presented, a motif, just as it is...like a piece of evidence in a detective story...then, then the guessing begins about what it is, what it means...the 'intuitive observations'...'educated guesses'...now, sometimes one can just present two enigmas, two bits of evidence, side by side, and nothing need be said...one can puzzle out a guess...that has a name, and if I had a memory, brb...oh, Trout up...since the groin injury, Trout in a slump...broken bat base hit...Ohtani K...Ohtani for the season 2 for ten, the 2 in this game...he must have helped get some of those runs...Simmons up...grounds out...REBUS...that's the word I couldn't recall...though I was perfectly clear remembering it's meaning...kind of like recognizing  someone just fine, but not their name....

quote

A rebus (/ˈrbəs/) is a puzzle device which combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words and/or phrases. For example: the word ‘been’ might be depicted by a "rebus" showing an illustrated bumblebee next to a plus sign (+) and the letter "n". It was a favorite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote surnames.

related is 'visual pun'...

A visual pun is a pun involving an image or images (in addition to or instead of language), often based on a rebus.

these are the bases of iconography and ideograms...bread and butter of archaeologists...now, right there, the sentence is a match cut, a side by side...if one is familiar with the idiom 'bread and butter'...the observation is the icons and ideograms, the intuitive observation is they are bread and butter for archaeologists...which is to say, the icons and ideograms are their basic food, and this, 'food', another match cut...icons and ideograms are like food to archaeologists...the subjects that fuels their careers...another one!, or two...adding 'fuels' 'careers'...as I'm match cutting from the observation with more guesses, the guesses become more tenuous...language is match cuts...rebus comparisons of observations with guesses...or some such...it gets complicated quick!...Calhoun wapped a home run...Angels 7-0...so, so, here in words is a picture, a visual, match cut to another visual, in words...

A.  Beneath Mounte Alban, the Mixtec pyramid, is what is thought to be a tomb...the tomb has corridors, arranged in a cruciform shape, made of stone decorated with stone mosaics of grecas, curled motifs.  At the end of each corridor, is one greca on the wall centered head high by itself. It is the more complex curl, the step fret with triangle.  Related to step frets with triangle, is the step motif.  The step motif is minus the curl and triangle.  It has three varieties.  One is known as a Chacana.   This has a diamond shape made of checkerboard squares.  Another is the crow step.  This like half the diamond shape.  And the third, or first, as it is the simplest, is the step motif.  Lastella hits his second home run!...Angels 8-0...The step motif look like a little stair case, a step stool.

B.  Diamond back rattlesnakes have a camouflage decoration made of diamonds made by a different colored mosaic of their scales.  Trout with a sac fly...Angels 9-0..,Ohtani up...ground out...Diamond back rattlesnakes hibernate in the winter underground, in dens.  There can be hundreds in a favored den, and it can be a favored den for thousands of years.

hmmph...now, let me see if I can do that with visuals!...

the pic isn't the tomb at Monte Alban...nearby there...it's similar...and the pic of the rattlesnake doesn't set off the diamonds well...and if I used these two pics in a guessing game, I don't know if my audience would guess 'rattle snake den'...oh, I see that game all the time, what is it!...Tigers up...bottom of seventh?...oh, wait, Calhoun up...top of eighth...Albert hit homerun too, for rbi 2,000...scholars have a refined taste, a match cut to wine tasters with their learned palettes!...with their vast store of lore, they might get to 'rattle snake den' with those two pics...runners at corners, no one out...Cozart with an rbi double...Angels 10-0...it gets worse...Ohtani up...runner on...W...Simmons up...

Bour up...came in for Pujols...for sometime more on the diamond back rattlesnake and the Mesoamericans...that pic jumps to everything in the Old World...and I wish that pic was sourced, as the winged griffin in the middle with a paw on a rosette is really a curio!...for sometime too...and Bour hits a home run...Angels 13-0...looking for rattlesnake things, I happened on a youtube clip taken in one of the parks in local foothills...

beside the road, the two snakes are standing up, and having a bout, wrapping around one another...but, they're not mating, it's two males fighting for the favor of a female nearby...

quote

The caduceus (☤; /kəˈdjʃəs, -siəs/; Latin cādūceus, from Greek κηρύκειον kērū́keion "herald's wand, or staff")[2] is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology and consequently by Hermes Trismegistus in Greco-Egyptian mythology. The same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography, it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead, and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves.[3]
Some accounts suggest that the oldest known imagery of the caduceus has its roots in a Mesopotamian origin with the Sumerian god Ningishzida; whose symbol, a staff with two snakes intertwined around it, dates back to 4000 B.C. to 3000 B.C

hmmph...Thoth-Hermes-Kukulcan...brb...bottom of ninth...well, observations, with the usual guesses!...I dunno...but pun puzzles are fun...Fletcher snags a fly ball to left, and the ball game is over...'a halo over this one!'
