Don:

You are giving me more drawings before I’ve finished your first…I’ll look at them in the AM, but until then…

Look carefully at the geometry and the items that tie everything together.
The "ratio" of the outer to inner circle is very important...the victims hands and the single fingertip pointing toward center....one finger representing unity...(1.000).



Earth and Mars align every 780 Earth days, known as their synodic period.

This realignment measure would be one of the first things recorded over time if the ancients were ever interested in planet motion.

Knowing this interval of time does not confirm these people understanding the heliocentric (Sun center) system...it only stipulates the time between successive alignments of the two planets with the Sun.

Now...if you take this 780 days and convert to Earth years it would equal 2.1353 years...the ratio of the two circles...!

Believe me, it is not coincidental because the painting includes alignments for the other visible planets.
...an ingenious artist...who was it ?

Best.
