#Firmament of the pleiades portable

A review of Siberia/East Asia and Northern western hemisphere Indigenous ethnography on infant burial indicates the Anzick infant burial was most likely designed for rapid reincarnation with no journey to a realm of the dead. Some or all of the artifacts were sacred heirlooms for the use of that person's soul in the realm of the dead or beneficent ancestor realm, or for the use of a future shaman-storyteller in this life.

The results contradict the colonialist archaeological opinion that Clovis peoples forgot their spiritual and artistic heritage when the crossed Beringia into North America.īased on the portable art and its reconstructed themes, it appears that the Anzick Clovis artifact cluster belonged to a shaman-storyteller. All of these mythic themes are predicted by Siberia/East Asia archaeological site portable art and ethnography. These depictions appear to represent at least nine (9) thematic or motif clusters of Clovis mythemes, spiritual-ecological, mortuary and ‘afterlife’ beliefs: 1) ‘Bear’, including Short-Faced Bear and Bear-Man 2) ‘Mask Face with Different Eyes’ 3) 'Owl' 4) ‘The Cycle of Birth, Death, Milky Way/Stars Path of Souls, and Reincarnation’ 5) 'Fox/Coyote' 6) ‘Triangular Geometric with Elk (wapiti)’ 7) 'Frog/Toad' 8) ‘Mammoth’ and 9) 'Vulture (Condor or Turkey) or Raven'. At least sixteen (17) and up to forty (40) artifacts appear to have fair to good figurations, depicting zoomorphic, anthropomorphic and therianthropic beings.
