Is bone a complex form of mucous? In foreign lands not familiar with an oracle bead chronicle, nor cognizant about its viewable history preserved within, the scramble to create something approximate as a historical record appears to have focused upon actual bones as the artists' medium.
An oracle bead chronicle shows, as images preserved within its mucousal gel, skeletal remains of creatures both ancient and mediaeval, as well as those dating from a few centuries ago. Different from a scroll, a film, or a book, an oracle bead chronicle preserves exact memory-perfect images as its historical content. The bead itself is very tiny, and resembles an old dead insect or amphibian egg. The oracle bead has many generations of humans viewable within its content imagery, and the skeletal remains of both humans and other creatures distributed in various locations throughout the planet. The oracle bead also has a visible voice strip struck within the gel.
Oracle-shown content which has been transmitted within common memory pools, and places/things searched to find and claim the items shown in the oracle bead imagery, might include very specific sets of bones located in China, which can be collected and identified using traditional archeological methods and coding -- without, however, any designation at the present time which also identifies them as viewable within the content imagery of an oracle bead chronicle. >beadtot@aol.com
