Aztec Dublin?

Another dull, dreary, damp day in Dublin. I braved the elements in deference to Blip and would have been happy enough to offer this forgotten bottle as today's post.

But that was before I got a phone call asking for my investigative and analytical input in connection with a possibly significant archaeological find in the city centre. The site was a strange-looking section of wall beside one of the Grand Canal bridges. My base photo didn't seem like much, but preliminary squint analysis hinted at hidden messages of some sort, ranging from a depiction of athletic games to a link to the traditional St Brigid's Cross which graced many homes in rural Ireland up until the mid 20th Century. One of the more fanciful suggestions at this stage was that the wall contained a representation of human facial features, but I for one remained unconvinced about that.

Detailed examination quickly focused on the central section of the wall, as it was here that the hints of something unusual were concentrated during preliminary analysis. Little or no progress was made until the decision was taken to resort to Y-Ray spectrolosis (which certainly seemed to promise an exciting outcome), followed by kaleidoscopic oscilloscope image analysis (which some found more confusing than helpful). While I have been officially credited with the final breakthrough, I must admit that it was a chance accident with a mirror while examining those last two images which led me to mask off the right-hand side of the area under investigation. That's when this extraordinary image came to light. While further investigation obviously needs to be done by international agencies which are better qualified than I am, it must be said that the chances are high that we now have proof of a connection between the Aztec (or Mayan?) and Celtic civilisations. It took all my powers of persuasion to gain permission to share this remarkable image and to publish it for the first time here on Blipfoto.
