Church Rock Utah Framed Print

If you are seriously interested in this topic here are two short articles you should read: 1) Buddhist Architecture in India (pages 22 -28) 2) Lycian Influence to the Indian Cave Temples (13 pages) Both of these google available. Google: "Midas Tomb Turkey" and compare the clearly engraved wall with the "Park Ave Walls Utah". Consider the thickness of both sets of walls. Clearly the Park Ave Utah Walls are bare but they are uncannily and consistently thin for an incredible distance. Do you see any similarities?

I believe that the project was never completely finished and for that reason the slope to the north which was the ramp that gave the workers access to their most recent work area was never carved away and removed

There appears to be possible evidence of ancient religions of India showing up in several locations in N America, Google "mexican hat rock Utah" for not a Mexican Hat but an ancient Buddhist PARASOL on the top of a rock stupa just like they are still today on extant stupas in India. Parasols are one of the eight symbols of Buddhism just like the Endless Knot. The Endless Knot Is said to have begun with two intertwining snakes and it symbolizes the endless of time. Interestingly the Endless Knot shows up in ancient Celtic culture when in the wedding ceremony a couple being married had their hands tied together in a knot. Hence we got the expression "Tying the Knot" to refer to the act of getting married. Many months ago I came across a geoglyph of two obviously very old snake images in Alberta Canada in an area that from the sky appeared to be heavily populated in times long past. You can access that image by googling- "ancient Alberta snake geoglyphs"

Thanks for you comments and enterst in this image Hendon. About 120 miles west of this rock formation is a pictograph I am certain has a Chinese connection. It is located in Barrier Canyon and is called the Holy Ghost, it is also belived to date as far back as 3000BC. I have many images of this rock art and will probably post some in the future here on FAA. I have studied the maps/writings that the ancient chinese have from some of their ealiest travels 4000 years ago and I do believe they made it as far as central Utah but once they encountered the Green/Colorado Rivers turned back east and home.

Whoever it was who named this Church Rock was aware that this place had a religious heritage. However I believe this beautiful image was an ancient temple that dates back to the 5th century. I believe that Church Rock is in fact an ancient Buddhist stupa that preceded later Buddhist places of worship such as their pagodas and later temples. My conclusions on Church Rock are not as speculative as they may initially sound. Information on ancient Indian Buddhist stupas is readily available via any internet search engine. Highly defined construction requirements and styles date these stupas to the period they were built. The design of Church Rock dates it to one of the earliest periods. The problem with what I have just written is that this structure is not supposed to be in North America. It's supposed to be on the subcontinent of India! If this is what I believe it is then Church Rock/Stupa Rock is evidence that Buddhist missionary monks came to North America in the 5th century. Interestingly enough a journal was written about this mission that is available today. The leader of the mission was named Hwui Shan and he came with four other priests from India via China to a place they knew as Fu Sang/ North America. More evidence to support my thesis is available at chinesediscoverer.com or by googling Hendon's Geoglyphs
