Good to know. I am open for their researches and would add it to my book - of course with their copyrights. In the spring will be published an essay in a magazine in germany.

Very small at the end of the "cannon" is maybe an art of comic-language line written in glyphes like "olaloe" or something. If it would be a castle, the "cannons" would be placed well. But I don't understand, if it is a castle, why's another castle in the right upper corner that is much much smaller (look pic littlecastle)? For me it looks like a map of a world or a giant flower with living creatures and buildings in it. Jonathan
