Strange Ice Writings

They are mantras from what I can tell. The photos depict the writing upside down. It's the Buddhists laying waste to the People's Republic again.

OM MANI PADME HUNG (Repeat 108 times.)

Very interesting thread, great find.
S + F from me!

The circles in the cratered areas look like markings for ground zero of the USs underground nuke detonations. Some of those wierd shaped objects at 51 could be anything. A crumpled up tarp or something? The markings could be anything, also. Marks made for measuring? Not sure about the strange wrinting in the snow.

Here is the way one of the pictures should look.



The writing reads:

First line:

OM MANI PADME HUNG HRIH OM MANI PADME HUNG HRIH

Second line:

OM MANI PADME HUNG

There are hundreds if not thousands of mantras. These are variations on mantras dedicated to the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, known as Chenresig in Tibet.

He is the embodiment of compassion and loving kindness.

These are very popular mantras and are written and carved on stones, etc. in Tibet. If you go to Google Images and type in the mantra you will see what I mean.

Maybe it says " eat at wong`s sushi bar and carry out"?

Are there pictures of that area without the snow? and if so is there any indication in the snowless pictures of what might be causing the writing?

I agree with the nuclear test assessment. Aren't those giant circles called "perimeters"?

is there any way that google staff can play with the images??? i mean it looks funny.

Whoa-"khedwulf" thats an awesome video! I couldn't help but appreciate the
neat music playing to it as well. Yeah I doubt any of us humans could ever
come up with anything like that! These circles/lines are proof enough for
me. Wish I could figure out what they're trying to say in that writing on there?

So either the mantras have been placed by Google employees or they are actually beautiful carved into the rock and snow? I can't imagine any realistic possibilities outside of that. Very interesting, I am going to show this to a few friends that may be interested in the writing.

Very very cool stuff. I know I've seen this before on ATS a couple years ago but for the life of me can't seem to find it. Stupid search function.. or maybe it's the russian water??

The circles are H-Bomb craters from under ground detonations. The big circles are most likelyused for some type of measurements. The writings, very strange. Don't look like Chinese to me.

So why do you think they made them only readable from a great height? Out of body experience test by master teacher and student? Like the Nazca lines in Peru?

Cool stuff, that's a very big highway sign, somebody wants to send a message that can only be seen from on high.

Om mani padme hum.


Secrets of the carbon atom.

If anyone wanted to open google earth and actually look for themselves they might wanna try these co-ordinates as the ones in the op are are bit off.

I agree with previous posters about mantra's, just some ice graffiti.

Of more interest would be that the dam they are written on seems to be drying up.
The latest images show very little water in it.

Well whoever did it is probably pretty awesome. That's dedication

Could this possibly be part of some kind of religious ritual? Or maybe a work of art.... sort of like what this is: Biggest human land sculpture in the U.K.

There are a few artists out there who transform landscapes by sculpting/drawing into them. This could be something similar.

Hee hee - I have to say - silly Brits, those look quite a bit like Madonna bras. Are they really covering the countryside and giving lots of mountains nipples? That's so funny - I love it

For the last few days I've been thinking about a Bible verse describing that we would see signs in the skies near the end of days or Judgment Day or whatever it is you want to call it.

I deeply believe it talks about 'us seeing the signs while we're in the skies either by airplanes or satellites. Signs like crop circles and maybe even this as well? I don't know. It's 3am and this is going to be a bad post so. I believe people should be open to the idea that the verse doesn't literally mean seeing skies 'in the sky'. Just some food for thought, although I may be wrong.

edit on 8-2-2013 by TheProphetMark because: (no reason given)

Odd. Maybe you have a point. I mean with our technology seeing signs in the sky can be interpreted both ways. Us looking up or us looking down from above. If its permitted do you think you can find that verse?

The Tibetans have prayer flags that send prayers on the wind and "mani stones" that hold prayers in place for passers by. These snow prayers will travel across the universe in reflected light, I guess. Even through cyber space.

The message of compassion and kindness sent by all the great beings to all beings.

Interesting.

I suggest running those images through an OCR program (Online Character Reader) then putting the result into translation software, see what it comes out with...

reply to post by codetwister


Good luck with that. Various programmer types with an interest in Tibetan texts have been trying to develope OCR software for Tibetan for more than a decade now. I don't think they have got there yet. The Tibetan books that are of interest to them are all wood block prints, carved by hand. There are numerous oddities involved in that process that are very difficult to deal with from the viewpoint of "optical recognition" by computer.

On the word processing end, there has been much more progress, so that wood block texts are now being entered into the Tibetan word processing programs by teams of monks and others, word by word. Needless to say, it is a huge undertaking.

The mantras of Buddhism, written in Tibetan script, derive from Sanskrit originals. They are simply transliterations of Sanskrit originals in most cases or derived from typical Sanskrit formulae. If you can transliterate back to the original Sanskrit, you could then look up the various words in Sanskrit dictionaries.

PA DME is the Tibetan way of rendering the Sanskrit PADME, which means "LOTUS" in English.

Mantras are made up of single letters or syllables in combination with words like "lotus" or "shunyata".

This is a big topic that leads into another world of mentation, outside the one we are familiar with in the West.
