Simon Roy - KICKSTARTER IS TAKING LATE PLEDGES

AT LONG LAST, GRIZ GROBUS BEGINS ITS DESCENT TO THE MORTAL REALM!

Unlike the square pyramids people know from Teotihuacán or Chichén Itzá, the ancient ruins of Guachimontones in Jalisco were built in perfect circles. Just outside the town of Teuchitlán, these wide stepped terraces formed a ceremonial center for the Teuchitlán culture nearly two thousand years ago, showing a completely different vision of how pyramids could shape community life. Today the site sits quietly among agave fields and low volcanic hills, giving visitors a rare chance to explore a major archaeological zone without the crowds found at Mexico’s more famous ruins. Walking the concentric rings reveals how advanced and intentional the design was, making Guachimontones one of the most unusual and underrated historic landscapes in western Mexico.

베라크루즈인들도 피라미드를 만들었는데, 다른 고대 문명보다 더 놀라운 점은 모두 365개의 구멍이 뚫려 있다는 점이다...이를 사각형 구멍이란 뜻으로 '니치의 피라미드'라고 하는데, 이렇게 완벽한 태양력을 피라미드에 적용했으니 이들은 도대체 어떤 하루를 보냈던 것일까...

The owner of the robot will charge you the same price for the shirt and pocket the difference. Anyone else who has the money to build a shirt-making robot will match their price. The people who used to get paid to make the shirts, the sales of which bought the robot, get nothing.

재규어의 열린 턱 사이로 드러난 사람의 얼굴...현대의 아티스트 작품이 아니라, AD600년경에 멕시코의 베라크루즈에서 만들어진 유물이다...이 지역에서 신성한 동물로 여겨진 재규어와 합쳐진 인물상은 아마도 어떤 권위나 숭배의 상징이었을텐데, 그 오래전에 이런 예술성, 이런 완성도라니...
