<p>[QUOTE="Xiccarph, post: 857666, member: 24634"]Thanks for the link. Its good to know it is real...wish I could remember from where I grabbed the original images, though I know it was off some web site. Wonder if anyone has investigated period writings, religious or otherwise, from which the "idea" for this jeton came from. As a historian of sorts, and an archeologist, my guess is the idea was taken from a writing or illustration already in existence...I'd wager the "UFO" was 'pirated' right off such an illustration. Some time spent in libraries, museums and/or monasteries might pay off. Knowing where and/or by whom, such jetons were usually made, would likely lead to probable sources for research. Could lead to an educational guess of them using the Ezekiel wheel story, or a it being created from a true local UFO sighting someplace...which was more than likely recorded in some form. Fun to ponder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
