Issue 9: Burning History & the Ashing of Science
Why are people so set on defacing and destroying history? What events have occurred up until the present day that made future generations omit the past, both willingly and unwillingly. The story of modern media, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, Alexandria and more!

DISCOVERING A PREHISTORIC SOLSTICE MARKER | 19<br />
At <strong>the</strong> same moment <strong>the</strong> summer solstice occurs, <strong>the</strong> shadow (see above) also forms an interesting<br />
“ground line” just beneath several <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> little figures carved on <strong>the</strong> major panel. It also cuts through<br />
<strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> anthropomorphic figure.<br />
I waited patiently for December to witness my expectation on December 21st, <strong>the</strong> winter solstice. I arrived<br />
early at this place and watched <strong>the</strong> remarkably different shadow pattern approach. I could taste<br />
<strong>the</strong> suspense.<br />
Taken about five minutes before mid-day (see below), <strong>the</strong> botches <strong>of</strong> shadow in <strong>the</strong> scene are <strong>the</strong> result<br />
<strong>of</strong> a presently growing young ponderosa pine, NOW in <strong>the</strong> path <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> noon sunlight. It lessens <strong>the</strong><br />
effect but not <strong>the</strong> accuracy. Notice, in contrast to <strong>the</strong> summer pattern, <strong>the</strong> triangle shadow shape that<br />
is approaching <strong>the</strong> concentric circle petroglyph. This is a completely different experience.<br />
