Strange metal plate found in back yard, Jamestown Rhode Island

He found it while metal detecting and has no idea what it is. I thought other people on glp would probably share my interest in it and possibly a few of you would know more about it.


It's very interesting. The eyes all over it, strange mountains at the bottom, an elephant on the left, and a horse? on the right. Those things at the top, I have no idea what they are but my first thought is demon faces. I'm extremely interested in finding out what this is. There's been conflicting answers to the symbol in the middle as well.

I'm not sure but I'll be sure to ask him shortly. I mean the way he talked about it sounded like it wasn't hard to find.


Another detail, he says it looks like brass. I don't know if that does anything for anyone haha.

I'm having trouble getting in touch with him right now(the demons probably sucked him in and now there's an extra face on it) but I'll be sure to ask every question I get from this thread. Hopefully if not tonight, I'll have answers by tomorrow.

I'm really hoping someone recognizes something from it on here and can give more info because he's clueless.

Other people have said that but apparently the elephant is not common in Tibetan art?


Another detail: Other side is flat with no markings. It is only about 1/8" thick X 5.5" tall X 4" wide.

elephants are a big part of their symbolism and culture

the character in the middle was the giveaway
looks like tibetan caligraphy

Its the Tibetan plaque of death.

Said to have been created to unleash death into the world.

Was buried millenia ago and has not been seen since.

Until now.

Its said that he who discovers it will be the only one not affected by its emnantions. But all others in the world will sicken and begin to die and wars and disaters will unleash as death roams the earth unfettered.

The second seal of revelation refers to this time of undoing.

The plaque IS the second seal.(Figurativly speaking)

Its been unearthed..opened..now its too late.

Re: Strange metal plate found in back yard, Jamestown Rhode Island
Wicked!

Heres what i see - overall it looks like things are being lifted off the Earth to me!

From the top - looking left to right:

A sunflower
I have no clue what that is - maybe just earth
Another sunflower
An elephant
No idea what the big symbol in the middle is(reminds of Ra though)
A panther or some kind of cat
Something human looking
A White Lotus flower

The smaller similar symbols can be other things being lifted and the objects are depicted to show the perspective of distance - but they do resemble eyes...

What do you guys think? :)

Peace and love!
