That was a great post about Ying Yang - thanks for link
I remember being at college and painting my own ying yang symbol on a badge because I had seen it somewhere and thought it was cool and being young being cool seemed so important back then -
It seems Tao amongst other ancient philosophies share the same insights though expressed differently
Great read
Ying-Yang defines the Universe/God/Source.
Universe = 2 Spatial Verses (inner symbols) linked as One via Time (outer circle)
God/Source = Twin Souls born 2gether (Soulmates) surrounded by God/Source (outer circle)
Ying-Yang is also a great answer to the 5000 year question.

You're right about them being taller, remember the skulls are porportionate, meaning the people with these skulls had to be around 9-10 feet tall.
The current theory is that they are a result of 'artificial cranial deformation'- HA.!
Some of the cranial capacity of the skulls is up to 2 1/2 times modern humans. Why aren't all of these in history text books? Because science cannot explain them or better yet they don't want to explain them as it does not fit with anything that is taught in schools. Think about it the tables of history completely overturned. It's impossible to increase cranial capacity, and there is NO evidence to suggest the skulls were being deformed to that extent. However writings from SECONDARY soruces at the time did state they did it to immitate the 'royalty', but again the effect would be minimal and they had to do it to infants (would'nt the child die or be brain damaged?) Egyptian writings say that their original pharaohs were gods, and after them the son of gods. Busts of Nefertiti, Ramessese the II, and Amonhotep are all depicted with elongated skulls. Even the body of King Tut was found with one, less prominent then his mother but still clearly odd; However historians never mention it. I saw in a video somewhere that 70% of Europeans can trace their lineage back to 1 Egyptain Pharaoh. Bold claim, and I can't find a source to back this up but i'll share the video when I find it.
These elongated skulls have been discovered' in almost every major civilization of antiquity. Mesoamerica, North America, Nazca, Peru, Egypt, Australia, and Africa. The most recent depiction of the 'coneheads' comes from 15th century Europe. One of the most noble families at the time from Italy, the house of Este. There from the last pics I posted.
I think this is the link to the GOds, another piece of the puzzle

You say the universe is linked by time, but do you think time applies in every dimension?

That was an insightfull post re: Pentagram
Makes me think that it is what meaning we invest into symbols make them so yet we need to look to the roots of such a symbol as you have clearly done.
Of course many look on a superficial level and would fear the sight of a Pentagram.
Religions demonise that which they conquer or oppose so such things have to kept secret from closed minds yet are readily available to any with an open mind.
I posted on another post about the origins of a Swastica - Of course it was used ina perverse way by the Nazis yet it's original meaning lays thousands of years in the past and of course is benign.
Symbols are language and within them contain a wealth of information when contemplated.
A kind of shorthand.
The only evil is that placed upon them by ignorant minds.
