I have seen a few places were some one mentioned a lamb. Does a lamb have a special meaning.

Makes a special reference to the lamb of God.
find Bible verses that reference "The Lamb Of God"
and you will start to understand just how these sites were set up.
A King James Version works fine.
Using the new testament .

Kim,
So glad to see you back at it.
At best I have learned not to "over think" these things.
just try to think it out the way they did.
Not nearly as hard as I try to make it most of the time
and a lot more fun.

LOL

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Kim,
Here is one of ours.
I can post this staging or set up area. where the actual site was planned.
We are still chasing this site so are unable to give any part as an example.
but it is a lifesize version of this collection of stuff.

Since there is no reference point, i cant tell how large these rocks are, however, they all look small enough to be shifted or moved in the event of torrential rains. iv seen runoff water move some big izass stones. personally i put no credence into markers that for all intents and purposes are not permanently affixed. nothing like following a pointer that was jared when the deer that was attempting to outrun the mountain lion dared a glance back and ran headlong into it shifting its direction by a couple 10 or 20 degrees. basicly if i can move it so could an animal, nature, or a surveyer.
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Correct,
Each of these is movable (with some effort).
They were placed to plan the placement of much larger stones.
It becomes the blueprint in a sense to the actual site itself.

ok, im assuming that the triangular stone at the bottom of the picture is purposely included as part of the whole deal. it appears to be no larger than 12 inches give or take on a side. the sand accumulated behind it tells me that it is pointing uphill in an area where runoff regularly occurs. if its considerably larger than that, then its a moot point. the whole planning aspect is fascinating tho, especially if/when you find the corresponding site

Correct again.
That is why the picture is so very tight.
So it doesn't give away the site location 250 yards to the left.

The point is that it wouldn't matter if these stones move after the site set up is complete.
They were of no more use anyway.
This picture is on top of a mesa with the capstone as the surface these stones were on.
there isn't too much water that hits or stays for long.

:thumbsup:Ok, im with ya now. i was thinking you were attempting to use the geometry of stone placement to try to locate the end result oblivious to the fact that they may not remain in their intended positions.

Never will mislead you on purpose Buddy.

Just doesn't make much sense to give bad info.

LOL
as I said we have found several of these and they survive remarkably well.
all that we have seen are on a solid bedrock type surface,
and the stones are big enough that any runoff they encounter is not enough to cause movement.

no, didnt mean that, i just misunderstood what you were explaining. i was trying to covertly talk some sense into you without sounding like a couple others round here. i get it now, my bad
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

It is obvious that some of the set up stones in my earlier photo have moved.
after some looking I found a shot of the site that is not revealing in any way so I will show the site from a distance and let you see how it was fortified and set up as a camp and lookout station for Spanish as they traveled through.

There is much more here than pictured, but at this time this is all I will show.

Welcome back to this thread.
I like that picture too.

lol, I never really left my friend. Just sort of lurking and reading. Sometimes the incredible and distracting BS that comes with these great threads drives me nuts. I need to take a breather before I do something stupid. I can't let other peoples antagonistic ways get me banne or in trouble or whatever. lol

Please keep sharing and explaining what you can. I for one appreciate the time and effort of sharing.
