Basic signs and symbols you have found

[Shortstack]

perhaps you should read Bishop's book, Rebel Gold.

OK, OK. You're right. I had the right string, but the wrong yo-yo. I SHOULD have written "...........Brewer's book........". It is now corrected. I had someone else on my mind when I wrote that.

Speaking of Bob Brewer. My friend in Arkansas knows him. Said he would carry me over to meet him the next time I make it up there. How exciting is that? Guess I'll be trying to set up ANOTHER Arkansas trip before winter. Then I can get back to those river finds. Anywho. Here is a picture of some real signs. If you know how to do it, you'll see them 'right' away. Some of you may recognize it if you look hard enough and think back.

It's not my picture but, I did crop it to obscure certain details. Not use shooting someone in the foot.

B.I.T.,
I see an eagle up on the wall and a number "2" to the left of it and a bell on it's side, but what's really jumping are the two ugly profiles on the left. They look like some examples of species crossbreeding. LOL

My view.

Not fair to crop off the part of the picture we need to see.

I'm sure some folks here will think I'm being silly with my mark up on this photo, but I'll ask them to just take a good look and consider.

That "eagle" on the upper wall section is NOT an eagle after all. It's a Poodle and something about it didn't look "normal" until I realized the Poodle is doing something dogs do when you take them for a walk. Perhaps that number "2" was put there to better explain what the Poodle is doing. Noooow, maybe the Poodle is a late graffiti put there to confuse folks.

The profiles on the left look more like an Angel Fish (top) and a pig with a dental problem (bottom).

There was nothing in the rest of the picture to look at, save for fully identifying a monument at the person's site. That's all. Notice the inlay I made of the 2nd hoyo. Each can be seen from the other. The eagle indicates the type of cache site and the soft E indicates that one should look to the east through that hole in order to find the second hoyo. The 2nd hoyo is doubling as a sun sign. At the wrong time of day, that 2nd hoyo would never be seen.

There is no Angel fish or poodle doing the number "2". None of that other stuff is there. There is an Eagle and a soft E (textbook version by the way). The view you are seeing is from the West side and looking EAST. It's that simple. One cache has already been found across the way from this THIS VERY hoyo.

Hard signs......or hard times.

ps. the shadowy figures at the tip of the carved eagle's beak look like an owl 'holding' a pigeon for.......ransom.......

BIT:
Here's an unmarked copy of the photo I used. The only thing I did was run it through PhotoShop and "equalize" it with one click and reduced the size to make it easier to see. As I mentioned in my writeup, this could be some graffiti put up by someone later on and for some screwy reason. But, here it is. Look at that shadow. Perhaps the number "2" to the left has nothing to do with the shadow drawing.
Sorry, that figure on the top left doesn't look like an eagle to me. I see the eye, but there's no eagle-beak to go with it. The "face" is too rounded.

I like the eagle looking through the bear hoyo. Couldn't make out the shape of the other one. Love bears so long as they aren't the football kind.

BIT, did the open v mouth on lion represent anything special? thanks brent

 

[Old Dog]

Here you go Brent,

 

[hadji009]

thanks OD, was wondering if thatt v shape had any special meaning, it looked like it was cut pretty sharp. so it is actually like confirmed hoyo or another sign since it had a smaller like sign to line up with?might be crazy but what about the fox or other with the dagger making up the face? thanks brent

 

[Old Dog]

A quick hint to all,
try not to add things to simple stuff.

The Spanish used a set of imperial rules when they built these things.
They were under the pain of death if they didn't.

Follow the rules when you sort them out.
Use the measurements they used.
(not modern measurements)
Don't skip steps ... you will find things.

Thanks for another theory CW,
The idea of a face never occurred to me.
It may be ancient, that would explain why this thing is so completely worked.
The pieces are visible some 300 to 400 feet below as the ground around this is swept completely clean.

The more I think about it, the more I think you could be right.
I don't think there is anything here the Spanish would spend so much time on.
all the other stuff on this part of the trail is simple pointers and "eye catchers".

The fist in Judy's photo has the thumb inserted between the index finger and the middle finger. Isn't that interesting? I wonder if it has a special meaning like that.

 

[Old Dog]

Judy,
Thanks, Nice reference too.
Have missed hearing from you.

 

[dsty]
