five pointer star Explanation: Hello. Typo most likely. You may actually mean "pentaclo" (5 pointer star). Link 1 makes reference to it and to Incas: "...desde ahora, coje una espada, traza en el centro de la pieza el Pentaclo de Salomón (de que hace uso Goethe en el Fausto), pronuncia una fórmula, para nosotros incomprensible, y nos ruega formar una cadena tomándonos de las manos... Blavatsky y otros habían escrito con mucho entusiasmo de los restos arqueológicos de los Incas del Perú y de los Aztecas en México...". Link 2: "SIMBOLISMO Y TRADICIÓN HERMÉTICA... e invisible a partir de lo manifestado y visible. Así tenemos que el Pentaclo (estrella de cinco puntas) representa al hombre que ha realizado la Suprema Meta ... ". So I think those space travelers are arranged like a 5 pointer star...close encounters in the Inca dimension?? Good luck with it, cheers :-) Reference: http://members.nbci.com/silvani/Fra.html Reference: http://spicasc.8m.com/simboli.htm |

pentáculo = pentacle Explanation: Sure there's no typo? This is not the five-pointed star, really, but the form inside it, composed of 5 angles of 72º each. The pentacle is geometric figure that appears as early as Ancient Egypt (Old Empire) as the result of the division of a circle into 5 equal parts. (Old astronomical enigma). The Greeks incorporate the pentacle into the equation for the golden mean (square root of five-one-quare root of five). Cf. Hambidge, Ghyka. The solution was lost in the Middle Ages, but appears to have been rediscovered by Luco Paccioli. The subject formed part of my PhD thesis. |

pantacle Explanation: I did a quick Google search, and came up with two unassociated sites in Italian that both used "Pantaclo," clearly with the meaning of "five-pointed figure." The first of the two sites used it multiple times, so there can be no question that it was a typo: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.parapsicologia.it/p... www.societa-ermetica.it/testi/leggende_diaboliche txt.htm And I get 401 hits for "pantacle" in English.

The spelling of the word pantacle is unfamiliar to many and has the meaning of "talisman" or "amulet."
