Wyrdness
Anyone notice how these islands under dispute look like Machu Picchu (why Machu? when was that City discovered…manchu?pinchu?
Heres the wyrdlink info
Machu Picchu was first discovered on 24 July 1911 (20 years before the Japanese invaded Manchuria) by Hiram Bingham and when it was first found looked nothing like the excavated unesco site of today.
Hiram Bingham was born.in Honolulu Hawaii !!! check the wiki…
The USA president election has a current president up for re-election born in Hawaii…
Hiram Bingham’s photograper Harry Ward Foote was part of an Art clique who had connections with DH Lawrence and Los Taos Ranch in Mexico, via Harry’s sister Mary and her Art friend Mabel Dodge.
Cant add the Ward info…theres a blog link on the internet.
Totally irrelevant info…Another Ward not the same one?…(Freda Dudley) born Birkin was of course the first mistress of Edward viii, Freda Dudley Ward did eventually marry a mexican and become a Marquesa apparently.)
Wyrdness!
