YONAGUNI, TACHIGAMI

The close ups of the Tachigami are not of a sufficiently high resolution, but nevertheless some features are visible, again having considerable similarities to the Peruvian images. The cliffs behind the statue also seem to have been worked upon.

A streched, flying, bird		The head of a fish(?)
This large feature looks artificial, though its symbolic meaning is not clear (this is not unexpected for a unfamiliar civilization); see also right		This view shows the depth of the relief of the previous feature, making its artificiality almost certain. At the right corner, reaching in height to a third, facing left: a figure? (eye clearly visible)
A feature that looks quite similar to images from Peru.		A figure (hare?) in relief?
Head of a fish, mouth wide open.		Face; two more possibilities here.
