Re: Please help with statues found in 2014

I looked into Pyramid Lake Nevada. I am not saying the pyramid in Pyramid Lake Neveda is man made. However, interesting facts about it include. 1. Ancient man has been proven now to have lived in the area for over 10,000 years based on dating of petroglyphs. 2. The pyramid is claimed to be made of t...

Re: Please help with statues found in 2014

Thank you for suggestions. It is apparent what I call the Buddhist section is more recent and older sections are mostly animal. Buddhism was prior to Arab and then Spanish traders so I suspect damage to area makes sights more difficult to see. Largest Buddhist temple in area is just a few islands ov...

Re: Please help with statues found in 2014

Please see pdf files. They are not rocks. Rocks are not made from concrete or sandstone and coated by a mason in motar who leaves a record showing how it is done.

Where is a better place to ask these questions?

Re: Please help with statues found in 2014

Re: Please help with statues found in 2014

Kim regarding the photos you posted here. #1 is obviously man made. They are either salt drying flats or mixing areas for concrete. See geo-polymer website on how the pyramids were built and they show similar square mixing areas like this. Unless there is a big structure nearby they are salt drying ...

Re: Please help with statues found in 2014

Here is the other side of the bust.

A far larger bust appears to the right that I have no idea about. Who would command a far larger bust than Manjursi?

Also notice from this view the top of the head appears missing like the sculpture overlooking the elephants.

Burial chambers and Mycenae influencr

Any Buddhist temples incorporate Mycenae innovations?

I am looking at slab construction with a relieving-triangle instead of keystones or lintels.

Over all sculptures are just decorative adornment to the tholos like pyrmoidal chambers.

General construction of a temple

The temple appears to be

Poured in place ancient concrete


Carved sandstone

Both are covered with dull gray mortar that likely was a bio-mortar
Formed from quick lime and sticky rice similar to mortars for Great Wall.

Any mainland China or Taiwanese and Java similar?

Item 7

Tall standing figure 10-15 meters high.

A large wall continues behind and acts as brace.

Viewed directly wall is unseen.

Viewed sideways it looks like large wall with several oval stones on top.

Accepting that first to be a head means other stones are heads too.
Thoughts?

Philip
