jtiki,

Congrats on finding the holy grail, I contacted ADRIENNE L. KAEPPLER at the Smithsonian a couple of weeks back, she pointed me at the Bishop Museum, which of course - is where the trail ended for me.

I believe the statue you are referring to with the cockscombing is not the one that resembles lono / kane but instead has more of a "comb" look to it, with the spines running from the front of the head to the back, rather than being piled up atop one another.

I hope you have a scanner :lol: , would sure like to see 11 Gods Assembled.

Apparently, David Malo did a great deal of historical research on this subject as well, and may have some publications / books out there worth finding...

Great Job with the research, you're right, it must be heredity!

ps. Just went to the site you provided and ordered my own copy of the grail. Tx Again J!


There's nothing like a sharp tool!
