Re: EVENT in CANADA OCT 3/4/5
http://www.sacred-destinations.com/c...etroglyphs.htm
The Peterborough Petroglyphs are a remarkable collection of over 900 ancient images carved into crystalline limestone located near Peterborough in Ontario, Canada. History After being lost for centuries, the Peterborough Petroglyphs was rediscovered by historian Charles Kingam in 1924. The limestone at Peterborough is generally believed to have been carved by the Algonkian people between 900 and 1400 AD. Today, the First Nations people of Ontario call the carvings Kinomagewapkong, meaning "the rocks that teach." However, there are several other theories of the date and authors of the remarkable petroglyphs: Retired Harvard professor Barry Fell believes the petroglyphs are inscriptions by a Norse king named Woden-lithi (Servant of Odin), who was said to have sailed from Norway up the St. Lawrence River in about 1700 BC. Mayanologist David H. Kelley viewed the petroglyphs and declared that some of the symbols were European, dating perhaps to ca. 1000 BC According to Andis Kaulins and Megaliths.co.uk, the petroglyphs are a sky map of the heavens from c.3117 BC based on European tradition; they have nothing to do with Native American traditions. The area surrounding the petroglyphs was established as Petroglyphs Provincial Park in 1976. What to See The Peterborough Petroglyphs consist of more than 900 individual images, which are carved into a slab of crystalline limestone 180 feet (55 m) long and 100 feet (30 m) wide. About 300 of these are discipherable shapes, including humans, shamans, animals, solar symbols, geometric shapes and boats. The boat drawings among the petroglyphs do not resemble the traditional boat of the Native Americans. One solar boat — a stylized shaman vessel with a long mast surmounted by the sun — is typical of petroglyphs found in northern Russia and Scandanavia. A fissure in the rock is thought to have been revered as the entrance to the underworld or the symbolic womb of the Earth Mother. Quick Facts The park is open daily from May until Thanksgiving weekend and is located 55 km northeast of Peterborough in Ontario. Sources Atlas of Holy Places and Sacred Sites, p. 80.

Re: EVENT in CANADA OCT 3/4/5
Post Comparison-
Quote:
i have been working also, to get my house ready to sell... and, to really organise things (since, i already designed a few businesses to run at the hub of a "remote" centre" higher guidance, says, it would be ok here, for now, and, many people, in the area in very large homes, would likely love this "rare" area, at 1/3 the cost of the surrounding homes -- so, i got to trust that (i will likely have more than one place) it is time to create some seminars, to assist others, & mississauga is the bulls-eye of this area of ontario --so, i am to let go of the reigns and, just allow "the cosmos" to guide me i am sure here, this house, for the right price would sell in 3 days-and; i've got 1/3 of it painted, now, the other 2/3 to do YES, selling/buying can be a little stressful, and, i do need a short escape, followed, myself by a longer one -- anyone want to go to mexico LOL love/susan the eXchanger Last edited by THE eXchanger; 12-27-2009 at 12:06 AM. |
