Ya, speaking of bigger picture, the resolution on that plate/bowl/other thing is low... I can't make it out. I guess it has something to do with the area of interest (see Psysop's spoiler below) as it has the look of that culture...

I don't know if I should spoiler this...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Lake is Near the Euphrates River, just west of the old city of Babylon. In terms of biblical relevance, I think it is minimal...Certainly far away from what is thought to be the traditional location of Chaldea (which is more SE

 		The pic at the end of "Out Of AIr" is a pot that shows a man riding a Triceratops.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It was found in a Peruvian tomb with an estimated time period: c.a. 500-1500 AD.
Refy: http://www.bible.ca/tracks/peru-tomb-art.htm

ETA:
Well maybe not a triceratops, but a dinosaur of some sort Wink
Dunno what kind it is though...

ETA2: Umm not a pot, its actually an etched stone.

 		Ready to bite
Anyone looked into the left hand column on the spider main site?

Quote:
Ancient Jewish high priests used this breastplate for divining and answering questions: you entered your question in a slot and the stones lit up. it's called....... Urim and Thummim... maybe the space spiders left them....


I know I saw references to olivine stones being in jeweled breastplates while researching last night.

I also saw a reference that the stone Ezekiel saw in the wheels may have been topaz which was sometimes mistaken for chrysolite. Topaz is an aluminum and fluorine silicate. Not sure if its important, but thought I'd mention it.

 		Most of us go the following message from the PM:

As I believe the PM to be LDS (or at least have once been LDS) I think it is relevant to have @ least part of the LDS definition of Urim & Thummim:

Quote:
Instruments prepared by God to assist man in obtaining revelation and in translating languages. In the Hebrew language the words mean "lights and perfections." The Urim and Thummim consist of two stones set in silver bows and sometimes used with a breastplate.

Many prophets and seers had given to them Urim & Thummim. Abraham had one. (possibly relevant because of the reference from facsimile 1 in the BoA and the references to Chaldea)

I wonder if the PM will provide an "electronic Urim & THummim" (eg a website, a program, etc) that will help us find the other clues...

 		Urim & Thummim
Urim & Thummim were originally jewish in origin. LDS borrowed it. Jewish version was a brestplate with a slot through which a tetagrammaton was placed to "charge" it. Top row, center jewel set in the breastplate was olivine.

 		@rasputin1072 - Dude, I'm not going to get into a religious debate here in an unFiction forum. If you read my post, you'll see that I thought it would be good to have the LDS definition as I believe that the PM has an LDS connection (at the very least he is using LDS symbols, etc). If you want to talk about origin, the Urim & Thummin were around long before Judah was a twinkle in his mother's eye. Therefore to say that they were "originally Jewish" is inaccurate, they were also had among people who were not of the lineage of Abraham and well before him also. If you want, I we can continue this in private message and save the rest of the people around us the mess... Wink

Anyhow, I suspect (from the way the clues seem to be going) that it wont matter what the LDS definition or the Hebrew or the Jewish or the Catholic for that matter, as I think he's going to say that they were put here by aliens spiders... Shocked

 		The last entry, titled "Air", gives us the coordinates to a lake in Iraq (Babilon), then shows a fish trying to breathe, and a man riding a dinossaur.

Birth of civilization, evolution, cryptozoology.

Interesting take. Although, if we consider the peruvian on the triceratops, it seems to be from a fundamentalist christian website trying to prove the earth is however old they might think it is, and using the pottery as verification. If so, we would probably have to rethink the interpretation of the fish. If trying to breath = evolution then in conflict with the dudes from the triceratops website. However, I wonder if it has more to do with survival...perhaps the pond is polluted or running out of oxygen, or in some other way toxic to the fish, who now want to escape...(speaking of fish, I sound like a trout! Trout )
