The dynastic and political history in the center of the Boban Calendar Wheel is encircled by a representation of the Mexican solar calendar. The calendar is made up of eighteen veintenas, or periods of twenty days. Each veintena is illustrated by a picture, representing its name or aspects of associated ritual practices. For instance, on the upper left side of the circle, the veintena called Panquetzaliztli is represented with an image of a banner, pantli, and long, turquoise feathers, quetzalli, whose combined words make up part of the name. Every veintena is also labeled on the side with Nahuatl text that would have been recognizable to Spanish authorities through court translators. The manuscriptโs circular design illustrates the continuity of Texcocan power over time. By framing the central argument in this legal battle with a circular and cyclical representation of time, the creators of the manuscript legitimize their claims by creating the perception that don Antonio can trace his noble lineage back to time immemorial.

Plated mail has an untypical design. It consists of small steel plates overlapping and forming horizontal stripes, joined with chain mail. The plated mail from the National Museum in Krakow has 1010 such plates, densely packed one over the other in 13 horizontal stripes. The Krakow armour is also exceptional due to the shape, which resembles the doublet, fashionable in the 1580s in Europe.

๐ฒ๐๐:๐ท:๐ท๐ฝ | The sun saw her perplexity, and he wrestled with the Spirit of Life and overcame it. When it was subdued and the primal struggle had ceased, it was delivered by the sun to his sister. It was chastened and quietened and in silence brooded over Earth's waters; she was stirred in response. Mud eggs of life potential were formed in swamps, at the meeting places of land and two waters. The sun gave quickening heat, and life crawled forth upon the bosom of the Earth.

Cathedral Rock West Virginia
I have to say cathedral rocks seem to be all over the states. Even those that discovered this rock mass in the mid 19th century are enamored by the sight of this rock.
First hand accounts write:
What I found interesting was the stain glass only visible from the inside, just what? Are these people betrayed by their own eyes and logic or cataloging the remains of architecture amist Americas topography?

I have to say cathedral rocks seem to be all over the states. Even those that discovered this rock mass in the mid 19th century are enamored by the sight of this rock.
First hand accounts write:
"There is the grand portal, with its pointed arch, from whose shadowy re- cesses we may presently expect to hear the organ pealing, and the anthem of chanting priests. There is the heaven-piercing spire, with its pinnacles, finials, turrets, traceries, and all the requisite architectural enrichments, from which anon will ring out the sweet and solemn chimes, calling the world to prayer. There too, sharply traced by sunlight and shadow, are the Gothic oriels and double-arched windows, suggestive of stained-glass pictures, only visible from the interior.
Cathedral Rock. note the details, and comprehend the general effect of the mass, we are troubled with a strange sense of incredulity, a distrust of our senses, even a certain flushing of resent-ment, as if some imposition were practised upon us. All that we have heretoforeseen and wondered at has not quite prepared us to accept this literally. Can this bereality, or is it only a stony nightmare superinduced by a surfeit of rocks ? Yet, thereit stands, in motionless and silent majesty, a vast minster of the Gothic ages, growingmore and more marvellous as we scrutinize its carven details, and estimate its sublime IN WEST VIRGINIA"

I agree, but can't believe that God's Kingdom is only meant spiritually. It manifested physically right at Creation through Eden/Paradise. Paradise is "heaven on earth" and that's where eternity will play out for the righteous: on earth, because that's the habitat God created for man. After all, He promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that their descendants will inherit the LAND for eternity. Not in heaven, but on earth. And the goal was always that earth would be a place where heavenly principles would reign, just like Yeshua taught us to pray: "on earth as it is in heaven".
