Anyone noticed how the outline of North America is like...
Anyone noticed how the outline of North America is like some kind of winged creature or beast flying towards the east? The wings are Canada and Alaska, the head is the Eastern side of Canada (just northwest of Newfoundland) with the legs being Mexico and Florida.

I remember reading quite a fascinating article at some point in the last few years about this as well as other coastal outlines on the planet and the shapes that they form. The article also implied that the shapes of these coastal outlines and images that they convey are no accident, and are there by design!

One of the coastal outlines on the planet forms a very obvious monkey, although I can't remember whereabouts it is.

I don't really remember much else about the article it was awhile ago, does anyone else remember reading it or something similar?

Well I would say New Orleans would be the area where it would protrude from so you could well be in trouble there in Florida! Looking at it though, I would suggest the winged beast might well be female, as there really isn't much of a protrusion, just some errr flaps lol.

Nah I seem to remember the monkey/primate being part of the US west coast and eastern Russia but I can't see it looking at it at the minute, it was glaringly obvious though when someone pointed it out, ill see if I can track down an image of it on this interweb thingy.

Yeah it might well be from that or something like it. With that said the US has always looked like that to me, just wish I could find this monkey outline again - it was quite elaborate too as I recall, and there were other things too all over the planet but it all escapes me now. Oh well I'm sure you can find patterns/shapes in anything I suppose if you look hard enough, but I did have an overwhelming sense of theres something in this when I read it. *Note to self* Bookmark these things.

There is Indian lore that depicts a winged beast that rises up to become destroyer. The name of that beast is, Piasa.
It's shape is that of (similar to) America. It's very close to Cahokia Mounds, Illinois. It became a bird. A consuming beast.
I live here and have always heard about this Lore from my family who is part Indian heritage, Cherokee.
Here. Judge for yourself.


[link to www.google.com]

The ancient mural was created prior to the arrival of any European explorers in the region, and possibly before 1200 CE. It may have been an older iconograph from the large Mississippian culture city of Cahokia, which began developing about 900 CE. The location of the image was at a river-bluff terminus of the American Bottoms floodplain, the site of the Cahokians, the largest prehistoric city north of Mexico and a major chiefdom. Cahokia was at its peak about 1200 CE, with 20,000 to 30,000 residents. Icons and animal pictographs, such as falcons, thunder-birds, bird men, and monstrous snakes were common motifs of the Cahokia culture. The Piasa creature may have been painted as a graphic symbol to warn strangers traveling down the Mississippi River that they were entering Cahokian territory.

An Alton Evening Telegraph newspaper article of May 27, 1921 stated that seven smaller painted images, believed to be of archaic American Indian origin, were found in the early 20th Century approx. 1.5 miles upriver from the ancient "Piasa" creature's location. These pictures were carved and painted in rocks located in the "Levis Bluffs" area by George Dickson and William Turk in 1905. Four of the these paintings were of "an owl, a sun circle, a squirrel, and a piece showing two birds or some kind of animals in a contest", the other 3 paintings were of "a great animal, perhaps a lion, and another an animal about as large as a dog". These paintings were photographed by Prof. William McAdams and were to be placed in his book "Records of Ancient Races in the Mississippi Valley: being an account of some of the pictographs, sculptured hieroglyphs, symbolic devices, emblems and traditions of the prehistoric races of America, with some suggestions as to their origin" William McAdams, C. R. Barns Publishing Co., 1887. {available on Google Books} . These seven archaic American Indian paintings have been lost in recorded annals as they were to have been in transit to the Missouri Historical Society circa 1922. Other Native American carved petroglyphs of a similar time period and region as the Piasa monster are carved into the rocks at Washington State Park, De Soto, Missouri (approx. 60 miles southwest of the current Piasa image). {location: N 38° 04.682 W 090° 41.033 15S E 703146 N 4217006}

The 1797-1798 map of French explorer Nicolas De Finiels' shows the cliffs above the Piasa labeled as Hauteurs De Paillisa (source archives Versailles, France" "Carte d'une Partie Du Cours Du Mississippi"). (Partial source:See Costa 2005: 297)

An earlier 1778 Map titled "A new map of the western parts of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina; comprehending the river Ohio, and all the rivers, which fall into it; part of the river Mississippi, the whole of the Illinois River, ... Author Hutchins, Thomas, 1730-1789" clearly shows the place name "PIASAS" where the present day City of Alton is located and bounded by the Wood River to the east. (this map is one of the earliest documented references for the word "Piasa"). [3]

The name Piasa may also have been derived from the Native American Miami-Illinois word páyiihsa (cf. Anishinaabe: apa'iins(ag), "little people(s)"). [4] This was their name for small, supernatural dwarves said to attack travelers. Local claims that the word "Piasa" meant "the bird that devours men" or "bird of the evil spirit" are not accurate nor based in the Illinois language.

Sort of, yes. The Piasa Bird was Evil and flies in times of great tribulation.

COUNT the Piasa Birds Horns. 10. Look at the beast's face. Remind you of anyone? The Stormbird's tail was 50 feet in length. It's colors were red, blue and black.
