The Tomb – Click on image to enlarge

No sooner was I inside the truncated pyramid when I found myself contained in a small tomb-like room where I could hardly move.

It was just high enough to stand up and turn around with arms extended.

I managed to light a match which revealed another rock surface full of symbolism.

I was able to see what looked like a snake, a helicopter, a falling man and the initials…. j a l or j a i.

Then I looked down and discovered a piece of parchment with the following inscription ……….

…..when you find twelve objects on the wall the doors will open and you can proceed.

At that moment my match went out and I sat in the dark wondering what to do.

The hours went by….then I decided… I NEED YOUR HELP!

Can you search the surface to find the 12 objects I need.

I am desperate to continue my journey.

Without your help will this become …..my tomb?

About The Journey…… this is an actual journey I am experiencing right now. It began with a painting and I have no idea where it might be leading. The discoveries I am making are REAL but they are coming from my artworks. These are all new artworks and they are REALLY amazing me …. I hope you are enjoying them to

The Black Forest and the Truncated Pyramid

Refreshed from a good nights sleep I set out the next day with much greater optimism.

After all I had overcome the most difficult tasks I had ever encounted.

So with a merry but cautious step and whistling my favorite tune …. “always look on the bright side of life”, I knew this day would be good.

After about an hour…or maybe two I entered a place I could only describe as The Black Forest but rather than feeling threatening it felt calm and peaceful.

I could see off in the distance a looming object but it was obscured by the trees until I got closer.

It was a giant pyramid rising up before me…..except it was different. It was truncated!

Who or what could have built such a structure and why?

The sides were different too. They glowed and seemed to be alive and moving. It was like looking down on the earth from high above. No pyramid was ever like this one.

As I moved close to the surface it became still and solid. Suddenly a doorway appeared and I knew I had to enter it.
