-3389 2902, elevation 23. A "Goldem Dome Culture" ziggurat with a Dantari statue on top, overlooking a lake.
The ziggurat is typical of the "Golden Dome Culture" in shape and materials used. It consists of four above ground levels, but a buried fifth level is clearly visible from orbital imagery. The ziggurat's shape is deceivingly rectangular as close ups reveal that the fifth level is actually bottle-shaped with the "neck" oriented Westward.
The statue on top of the ziggurat is oriented Southward.
This structure, as well as the previous one with a sodium based fire, shows a strong integration of Dantari statues into the "Golden Dome Culture". This integration raises questions about the origin of the statues, emanating from the "Golden Dome Culture" and adopted, possibly replicated, by the Dantari or emanating from the Dantari and adopted by the "Golden Dome Culture". Indeed, it is important at this point to underline initial but uncommented as now, observations about the statues.
The statues show an identical built and bear some unexpected features if originating from the Dantari: the absence of primary or secondary sexual attributes usually prominent in traditional hunter / gatherer cultures ; the absence of weapon or tool, and finally, the presence of jewelry (earrings) whereas Dantari were none.
