THE FOUR DIRECTIONAL T. REX STONE.Here's an interesting little example of non-metrical image writing. Note how it was produced by shaping a layer of white stone that overlays a base of red stone. This is probably the world's oldest known example of a 'cameo'. How old is it? Well, that's a T. Rex looking back at you...with a mastodon's head protruding from the right side of its mouth. If you align this stone properly, relative to the sun, then the eye on the right side of this T. Rex's image becomes a reflective highlight (first image below)...with a second such highlight at the lower left, about where one would expect to find the jugular vein in the T. Rex's neck (second image below). That is where you would have to hit a T. Rex, with a spear or an arrow, in order to kill it. Which would be a wise thing to do, if it were looking at you (third image below).
There is quite a bit of non-metrical image writing on this stone, but I'll only point out a few aspects of that for now. On the left side of this image, one can find two crescent moons. That indicates a time period of two months. Since a crescent moon always faces either east or west for ANYONE viewing it, this also means: two months to the west. And sure enough, when I went to an area that I estimated to be about two months by surface travel from where I found this stone, I did indeed find a very accurately sculpted example of a T. Rex head (not pictured here). I probably wasn't in exactly the area where T. Rex were known to live at that time but, I was in much closer proximity. The eye on the left side of the T. Rex image shown here presents an Apatosaurus or two, as seen from a distance. In the area to the right, below the eye on the T. Rex image's right side, one can see a man in profile facing left...crying (although this is not readily apparent in the photo, I just though that I'd mention it as, it shows that people did not ENJOY living in areas that the T. Rex inhabited). Also in this area, below the dead mastadon's head and extending down into the area below the T. Rex's jaw and beside its neck, one can find the a composite of our old enemy, the intelligent species of reptile.
