Oooer, Starchie, good thorough outlining! And I'll go ahead and post my interp--just wanted to get your approval first, thanks.



I tinted to enhance and circled a big eye I see


Maybe it is this entity's arm that seems so robotic.

To me this entity resembles others I see that are snake/dog/dragon (yes, all of these mixed ), but this one is showing also part humanoid, which is a somewhat rarer twist. I really like it!

And yes, fiction and myths I have come to believe through my own experience, are indeed real. We have compartmentalized and segregated it as a society more and more. Many scholarly people write eloquently about The Wild Man, Green Man, The Goddess and describe them in such beautiful detail. Only to end the piece with the reinforcement that it is all idealized, conceptual, made up by earlier humans in an attempt to understand what we so amazing now know with science. But all of my money is on the fact that they actually saw truth, and we modern folk have pushed it into the background and behind the curtain saying it was all allegorial. But merely looking at the enormous numbers of similar or identical carvings and depictions of these Gods and such, dating back thousands of years and stemming from every culture, it seems quite obvious to me that someone, many or all, was/were "seeing" these entities. My +

And I thank you so much, Starchie, for sharing your findings and thoughts so openly. It is really resonating with me and releasing so much information I have longed to share knowing I have someone who can relate and also share.

And by the way, this photo continues to reveal to me every time I look at it!
