I thought it'd be fun to do a little thread on symbols that aren't what people usually think, so here goes. We'll run the gambit from the pseudo-pagan to the questionably satanistic and more

@Trey_Explainer "What if Iron Age Jews WERE the Aztecs"

My absolute favourite pieces by Friberg are those that seemlessly combined Hebraic & Mesoamerican dress & architecture in one beautiful but nonsensical mix

Even more archetypal is the presence of fuzzy pachyrhinosaurs, an absolute staple in recent palaeoartistry. Again, utterly unevidenced though based on sound reasoning. The feathered tyrannosaur facing it is presumably Nanuqsaurus.

For starters, we have the presence of inflatable air-sacks/pronounced soft tissue on sauropod necks, a purely speculative feature that has seen a fair degree of prominence in the more esoteric palaeontological circles.

So, the animal discussed above is Hatzegopteryx, a huge pterosaur from the late Cretaceous belonging to the Azdarchid family. The most modern image of this animal is of an enormous, relatively short-necked beast with an exceedingly long skull. Is this just conjecture?

(5) I will not divulge a long lecture on details of astronomy that most ppl here likely already know. The central point is this: The earth's axis wobbles, and as it does so, that invisible, heaven-ward pole thrusting to the north shifts. In doing so, as does the northern sky.

Ofc as with I suspect most who appreciate the film, it is really Pandora itself I adore, not so much the various characters or plot-beats, which, well-acted as they are, remain singularly hackneyed and uninspired. Yet Pandora is a vision.

Mythago Wood is a small forest in rural England, apparently hardly more than a copse from the outside. Yet within, it is a layer-cake of time & the impressions of the human pysche, a foundry within which the archetypal legends of various ages are given flesh, back to the Ice Age.

There were people 28,000 years ago who found scraps of artifacts and walls of paintings almost as ancient and foreign to them as they are to us. There were cultures that rose and fell in spans of centuries that factor in modern studies only as the decimal-points of dates.
