Some amazing ancient carvings can be found amongst the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. After many centuries of abandonment many ruins have almost been completely taken over by nature. This little carving seemed to be almost accentuated by this process.

Old beverage bottles and saw blades in sepia tell a colorful story of life in an old Montana ghost town. This was taken in an abandoned building located in Garnet, Montana, using only the available natural light. Part of my Ghost Town series. These make handsome cards.

©Seth F.Weaver,Sr. 01/21/08. A DigiMix™ work. I felt while working on this piece it had a Roman/Greek feel to it with its shiny golden colors. It perhaps was worn by some ancient warrior, since half of it was bashed in, or a religious artifact, used in worship of some demi-god. Thanks for looking, Seth.

“My Native Parchment Series” © Brad Michael Moore 2008—I did not do a historical study and image search of ancient parchments before I began this series. I tried to remember what I know. This series is idealistic. Many true parchments are filled with cracking, holes, extreme fading and bleed-through. The earlier papers were not white – but gray and yellow an very pulpish. Like any drawing made going on through history, often, the edges were left unworked so to provide some working surface space for testing medium, notes, imperfections and so on. The inside of animal hides were first used… Paper made from wood pulp was well along when the Monastery Monks began to do their color illustrations – boarders were fairly standard – and within their illustrations – especially the color ones, no space was left untouched. These works would have light colored boarders. Many an illustration’s life began bounded in a book – later to be pilfered by criminals, and those who lust for what they cannot create for themselves. These pages got rolled, folded, hidden, sometime in caves, behind stones, under earth for periods, or open to elements in porous enclosed spaces, available to insects, rodents, and finally age. One of my works is a stack of parchments, by intention. So, in truth, most old parchments are monotoned – center to edge, except for their painting and calligraphy. Crumpling would destroy any old parchment – they would have been most damaged in their earliest times of pliability – before being lost, forsaken, or forlorn. Sometimes, to better protect a parchment of importance, it was rebounded, or rolled in other parchments or leathers – and indeed, the hides of animals themselves were still used as writing material and more often, as protective coverings for the more fragile documents and maps as they came to be known. The idea of hide usage is suggested in several works including the, “Canyonlands” piece. Even today – some artists buy materials from fabric markets and paint on the backside of those materials – as if they were man-made hide. This piece looks like such, but, actually, its rock with some bone…

This clockwork bug is on a mission. Although a little wayward, it can survive on the chemical energy in the blood of living creatures, so it does not need to be recharged frequently. Made of copper and brass, and the size of an average dog, it is not the strongest mechanical animal of the artificer, but it is suited to its role. When I finish its story, I’ll also add another layer of detail into the bug, and probably a cooler background, LOL!

Inspired by the colors and landscapes – the cave paintings and rock carvings – ethos of those lost civilizations of the USA New Mexico region. – BMM

“It had been a long and sleepless night. Our bodies ached from the long journey into the jungle. Treasure hunting wasn’t turning out as much fun as we thought. The distant call of the Toucan was enough to wake the dead. Even though the night air was cool, I still woke up in a lather of sweat. As the sun peeked over the horizon it gradually lit up the cave…..what the new morning sunlight revealed to us just took our breath away…............

This is a reconstitution of a Tainos religious ceremony to the memories of the dead. / I captured it at the “Manatee National Park ” in Punta Cana Dominican Rep. Caribbean Island.First time I ever captured orbs in a photography! / This is 3 out of a series of 12 pictures I took during the religious ceremony, on the first in the series of 12 (not all posted) we can see the start of the elevations of the spirits of dead Tainos gradually rising from the artifact skeletons that are covered with a glass top inside a corded barrier for preservation and are in the ground in the middle center of the ceremony, in this picture we can very well and clearly see all of the hundreds of spirits that have raised from the tomb in the ground while the pinnacle of the ceremony was going on…(see the other post for the ending and conclusion of the ceremony) 5th in: TOP TEN finish in the Ghostly Images group’s “The Other Side” challenge! 17/APR/2009-was featured in Paranormal The Norm Thanks to the wonderful moderator and hosts for my first feature in this special group I really appreciate xoxoxo The skeletons and other artifacts more that 500 years old of the Tainos people where found in a archeological excavation of the village that was in the past, on the terrain of the Manatee National Park Preserve. The Taínos were pre-Colombian inhabitants of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and the northern Lesser Antilles. It is believed that the seafaring Taínos were relatives of the Arawakan people of South America. Their language is a member of the Maipurean linguistic family, which ranges from South America across the Caribbean. At the time of Columbus’s arrival in 1492, there were five Taíno kingdoms and territories on Hispaniola (modern day Dominican Republic and Haiti), each led by a principal Cacique (chieftain), to whom tribute was paid. As the hereditary head chief of Taíno tribes, the cacique was paid significant tribute. Caciques enjoyed the privilege of wearing golden pendants called guani, living in square bohíos instead of the round ones the villagers inhabited, and sat on wooden stools when receiving guests. At the time of the Spanish conquest, the largest Taíno population centers may have contained over 3,000 people each. The Taínos were historical neighbors and enemies of the fierce Carib tribes, another group with origins in South America who lived principally in the Lesser Antilles. The relationship between the two groups has been the subject of much study. This photo as is , taken with my Photosmart HP R927 camera, NO enhancement watch so ever!

All they knew was that the object in front of them was not, could not, be man-made. The intricate design and alien symbols all over it pulsed slowly, with a sound like the beating of a strange creature’s heart while in hibernation. When touched, the beating grew faster, the lights shone brighter. A massive roar of sound bellowed out of the device, echoing on the far walls of the enormous cavern. The object’s symbols flared, the brilliant light washing over everything. The light subsided. The research team was gone. The device grew silent again, its slow, rhythmic pulse the only light or sound in the vast darkness. Apophysis 2.08
