This photo, (by Eric Lafforgue), shows a man of the Bodi tribe of Ethiopia preparing to defend his ancestral land with traditional weapons ... against modern incursion backed by the government .
He carries a stick and a shield . The shield resembles the plan of a Bell Barrow, and it is noted in the (Wikipedia) page that daggers are a common find in these ~ possibly indicating that this was a traditional burial form for a brave warrior . I note in particular the roundish exposed spot of the lashing which holds the shield to the handle, (facing the viewer), for its similarity to an entrance .
As before, it is my belief that there is a good chance European Stone Age traditions had roots in an African Urkultur ; thus the study of traditional African practices may shed light on this milieu .

Howdo Anew?
The drawing on wiki of a bell barrow is remarkadely similer to that which I detect at such.
A central point where 34 lines converge.
The geometry involved is far more complex , and polygons at every 13 inchs are created, and atb variant diameters major circulations occur, and that is where the centre diameter of the ditch is sited.
IMHO, an intimate knowledge of how the human none physical entity interacts after death with the duality of flows detectable on the matrix of geometry based beams is central to these constructions.
The ultimate aim been reincarnation back into the local tribe, and not therefore been disspersed into the whole of the earths field.

Kevin, good to hear from you.
Well thats a relief, I was beginning to think there was nobody left with any comprehension thats theres more to this heaven and earth than meets the eyes ( they are collision senses)
Chicken and egg syndrome.
The barrow came after the reason it was sited there, and FITTED to what is there, whether a barrow is there or not.
What is there is in 4D, collision senses are not engineered to see such.

In this context please note the earring on the Surma woman pictured in the link below :
http://www.flickr.co...157608644175542
It has the same shape as the shield, and comes from the same area, (the Omo valley in Ethiopia) .
My imagination tells me that this earring is intended as a charm to prevent evil spirits from whispering in her ear . If so, it would seem to add to the magical properties believed of this shield-form .
