Prior to the first excavations it was believed that the Wari civilization had obtained the area subsequent to Tiwanaku control; however, it is now known from archaeological artifacts found in the area, such as kero (a ceremonial cup), in the hybrid styles of both Wari and Tiwanaku, that they had occupied the areas at the same time. It is believed that the two cultures employed the close space rather peacefully, as there is no evidence of warfare and evidence of shared culture and styles from about A.D. 600 to 1020.
... ... ...
What we know of the Inca siege comes from Spanish chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega and is supported by excavations by the Programa Contisuyo.[5] The Wari people were blockaded within their city by the surrounding Inca army for 54 days. During this time their people were without water and little food; finally in despair they sent their children down to the Inca in hopes for mercy.

the mesa is called the 'Masada of the New World'...Masada is where Israelis held out against the Romans...the top of that mesa had been fashioned by King Herod into a kind of fortress spa, a vacation spot with the feature of being defendable in case of attack...or some such...Jays made out...to top of eighth...

According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.

In Greek mythology, the stars of Pleiades represented the Seven Sisters.

In the ancient Andes, the Pleiades were associated with abundance, because they return to the Southern Hemisphere sky each year at harvest-time. In Quechua they are called Qullqa (storehouse).

The Pleiades, a group of seven stars in the constellation Taurus, was thought of mighty power over earthly destiny; there were seven also of the Hyades, daughters of Atlas; and the seven stars which guided the sailors. Ursa Major, in which the Hindoos locate the Sapta Rishi, seven sages of primitive wisdom, are a group of the first importance and are easily recognised.

'seven' is one of the New Age on and ons...two on, nobody out for the Jays...

Pleiades are frequently depicted as seven dots or seven stars, and identified on a mythological level with groups of seven divine beings. In fact, the Sumerian ideogram for ―seven‖ is used as an alternative name for the Pleiades.

bases loaded...Vlady up...hitting 250...wow!...DP...to top of ninth...just back a few posts, there was that Mysterion site with Stitchen ancient alien take, that those seven dots, which are all over Sumerian seals and artifacts, represented planet Earth, the seventh planet counting in from the first outer planet...kind of iffy, as count includes Planet X, to appear any time now...but the seven dots as Pleiades is good observation...and the other star like motifs likely the known planets, sun and moon...the Earth, in my take, could be the Tree of Life...the central motifs, whether a pillar, a female or male, a tree, a winged sun, whatever, are all Earth...these ancient cultures all thought of earth as a big 'baetylus'...a sacred natural feature...oh, this filled out for sometime!...Calhoun up...the two figures seen on either side represent the seasons...maybe that's too simple!...note the King's drinking goblet...Angels make out...to bottom of ninth...

The stele shows Esarhaddon standing on the left in an honorific pose. He is holding a mace club in his left hand, together with a rope ending in a ring that passes through the lips of the two conquered kings kneeling before him. His right hand is addressing the gods. Cuneiform script covers the entire medium bas relief scene.
The identity of the unnamed supplicant before him has been matter of debate. He may be the king of Tyre Baal I,[4] mentioned in Esarhaddon's Treaty with Ba'al of Tyre, or the king of Sidon Abdi-Milkutti.[5] The kneeling figure between the two is prince Ushankhuru with a rope tied around his neck;[4] others deem it to be Pharaoh Taharqa himself,[6] as he is wearing the uraeus tiara of Egyptian rule.
