描く人のミケ

As far as I'm aware of,

numbers can be used as a form of wordplay known as goroawase, where numbers are substituted for words based on their phonetic readings. For my name here, the numbers correspond to

"描く人" [kaku hito],

meaning "person who draws/writes", I thought it was a funny and harmless thing to add to my art blog <(_ _*)>

Stage 1: (c. 3100 – 2935 BCE) The earliest version of Stonehenge was not made of stone, but was a circular earthwork enclosure known in archaeology as a henge, measuring roughly 100 meters in diameter.

In this stage, inside the inner banks, 56 pits were excavated called the Aubrey Holes, named after John Aubrey who discovered them in 1666. Deposits in the bottom of the ditch included antler picks, which were used to dig the ditch itself, as well as bones of cattle and deer that were already centuries old when they were placed there. Also, human cremation burials were found within and inside the holes. At first, these holes were thought of serving as pits for timbers, but later researches revelaed that they probably held Welsh bluestones.

If you look down here you can see a couple more of interesting labels. The first one being the Heel Stone. Traditionally, the Heel Stone marks the place on the horizon where the summer solstice sunrise appears when viewed from the centre of the stone circle. Every year thousands of people gather to watch this event.

It lies about 76 meters away to the northeast from the centre of the stone circle; at the top of the Avenue, fractionally to the east of the main solstitial axis.

The second element is the Station Stone, a orthostat that was part of a group of 4 stones, now only 2 of them remaining. They formed a rectangle around the central monument with its sides in the ratio of 5:12.

This is Buddo, a long lost prehistoric human figurine made of bone, it has roughly 5000 years.

Here some studies about the usage of black watercolor, and stone textures.

I have to change my modus operandi for this series of content. You see, after doing some researches (between my other studies and stuff), I realized how there are only a few of real archaeology sites directly related with pokemon locations.

Most of the time, what has been used as a base were natural sacred locations and pseudo-archaeological sites that got debunked as the years went by.

For this reason, I am going to change the main topic here. I will analyze particular ruins/locations of interest in pokemon games with an archaeological critical point of view; and if that specific location is also related with an archaeological site in the real world, I'll point it out.

This will be my first work in the world of archaeogaming

Setting out on the path of the Kinuhariyama Hiking Course, more specifically along the Nagoshikiridoshi old road in the Kanagawa prefecture, it's worth noting the presence of a small stone structure that caught my attention.

It appears that the structure constitutes a small stone shrine, elevated by a few stone steps. What caught my eye, though, was the arrangment of elements of this shrine, which are similar to european dolmens. A couple of stone slabs making the walls and one more for the roof. That's it.

The round opening on the front could be a passage from this world to the one were deads reside, metaphorically and literally. Based on various hiking-related blogs I've found online, it seems that there are not that much informations about this particular structure. It is unclear whose mausoleum was this dedicated to, but it's clear that has some type of ancestor worship practice and that was built during late Kamakura period.
