Two of the images you have posted, Alcyone and Thuban are from Star systems, even though Alcyon is related to the star sign Taurus it has its own cluster which is Pleiades. Thuban is known Alpha Draconis although most commonly known as Draco
Did you know that?
I am guessing you do, but I didn't see it posted so I thought I'd mention it.
Interesting Pics.
Great work, this is what I come to ATS for. Thanks.

Why did I find the Colorado seal so interesting, or why is the Colorado seal so weird? I find it interesting, because the symbols on it are fairly um, let's be conservative and call them unusual for an American state seal. Keep in mind that the CIA is moving (or has moved) its headquarters to Denver, and that the Denver airport is above an underground secret facility. Not to mention the totally bizarre and disturbing murals at the Denver airport. I've heard a lot of rumors about Colorado and the Denver area in particular, but I could only speculate about the specifics.

Yes, I knew they were stars, that's why it's a star map. But, maybe not everyone who visits this thread would know that, so thank you for pointing it out.

You're welcome for the pictures. I can't believe what a hard time I had finding good pictures of this part of the Hoover Dam on the internet. I'd think a national landmark with such an elaborate artistic feature would have tons of pictures online.

There definitely masonic symbolism but the star map looks remarkably close to the seven sisters (The pleiades star system)

The fasces being the symbol of a republic? HA! Heck my History teacher taught me fasces, the base word for Fascist, is the symbol of a fascist government NOT a republic.

Where did I say otherwise?

Mind your quotes buddy.

Alcyone is a star system, in the Tau sector.
Tau Star System

I've noticed people have mentioned Colorado. The Hoover Dam is in Nevada. It's on the Arizona and Nevada border. I have driven across it a few times but never got out to look at the symbols up close. I had no idea these were even there. Thank you for posting. I was more concerned with watching for pedestrians. Next time, I'm going to stop and take a look at the winged man.

It would be interesting to see if the newly opened Hoover Dam bypass bridge has any plaques/statues. I'm in Las Vegas but I haven't been there since it opened Oct. 19, 2010. Now I have a reason to go on a sunday joyride in my new car.

The official name is the "Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge". O'Callaghan a former governor and of course Pat Tillman who played for the Cardinals, then joined the army and was killed by friendly fire.

However...We all know the real job of the Hoover Dam is to conceal Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. And the star map shows how to find him from their home planet Chaar.

TPTB always like putting things out to basically clown on us.

I went on the bridge while I was there. On the path leading up to the bridge there were some educational podium type things, but I wasn't paying attention to them. They weren't very interesting to me. There was a bronze inset on a wall at the opening of the bridge. I think it was the dedication. I didn't notice anything occult about the bridge at all.

i suppose it's because the Colorado river is the source water

i drove over the Dam more than twice, but never went 'tourist', but i did stop at one of the overlooks, just for the view of nature & the Dam

it seemed more Art Deco or even Gothic to me than steeped in Star symbology...
but that is what Gothic is supposed to exude...hidden meaning & a story behind the landmark edifice..
Art Deco not so much

thanks for the sharing

Hey Man! I was just took a Vegas vacation with a few college friends, and one afternoon we headed over to the dam. It was really cool to see from the outside, and even more awesome when you take the tour and go down inside! It's amazing the attention to detail; beautiful stone floors and such even deep inside the place. As others have said, the overall style is very art deco. Some of the areas people used to be able to tour are now off limits, which is sort of a shame with all the work that went into it. I highly recommend checking it if you get a chance.

that's the problem with 'scientists' today who think by denying things they know everything

I didn't know the Hoover Dam had such things so good job with posting pictures. I doubt all these symbology all over the US landmarks are related to anything real, it is just to give it a more eerie and interesting feel. The map is obviously a star chart, maybe the place is good for observing the sky? I don't see other reasons why this was placed there.
