  • My apologies if I could not respond earlier. Charles Brewer is well and continues to make expeditions and researching, you can find it in imformación wide web.

  • This Makiritare's figure is called in his language CUSHISHI-MENUDU that's mean "piel de Culebra" "Snake Skin". Makiritare is a etnia of the amazonian forest. Esta es una figura llamada por los Makiritare CUSHISHI-MENUDU que significa piel de culebra. Estamos hablando de los orígenes de la geometría o de tempranas manifestaciones de ésta.

  • Where is Dr. Brewer Carias who always seems to care about nature conservation in Venezuela, especially the tepuys,the angel falls. There are people right now flying helicopters,jumping from the top of the falls and polluting the area and nobody seems to care. By the way your string art is very interesting because when I was a child growing up in Venezuela my mother entertained us with them. I was fun, even thou I can't never get it right!

  • Hi John

    Thank you for this very interesting figure.

    It's like Jacob's Ladder but the methods of

    construction is different

    Very good video. I made this figure.
