B.I.T.
I couldn't resist a couple of things here. What is that thing that forms the eye of the "turtle coming out of hiding"?
ShrtStack, I don't know about any of that. The articles tells that something else was found up the hill by following that bird. Everything else would just be distractions.
Looking at kiddrock33's pictures I found some interesting anomalies. They are: 1) What appears to be a horse head, unchanged over two different photo angles. 2) Waldo, who's resolution matches that of the rest of the picture 3) Waldo's homie, who by the way, also does not change over two different photo angles.
The arrow doesn't change much either. Neither does the shadow below the horse head or the dolphin/ducky thing on the left. Since there is a cave, albeit with a tiny entrance, that has a pair of obvious signs to follow, I would think following the less obvious signs of the horse head and the Homie would lead to, or would have lead to, something interesting.
Why would men create plain sight objects to lead you along their trail or straight to their treasures? It seems to me that the signs were designed largely enough to be seen from a distance and it was hoped that if anyone saw them, from a distance, there should be no need for a closer inspection, just the need to cut corners to save time for the looter on his way to the next marker. Instead, we have a bunch of us who are NOT experts in such things and we WANT a closer look. I think we defeat the maker's purpose of the obvious markers because our curiosity gets the better of us!! They would roll over in their graves if they could see today what they did not know yesterday.
Also notice the gigantic tree above the cave entrance. It appears to be the largest tree for many yards. Didn't the Jesuits plants trees above their holes and caves? Just askin.
