This pattern is done in red brick 10 feet tall on the east outside wall
of the indian school one mile south of the 45 degree point on the east
coast.
@=\=/=|=\=/=@
..X..|..X...+
@=/=\=|=/=\=@
The "@" stands for the four tribes of the dawn people.
The center post looks like a Viking ship mast.
The two large Xs look like Viking sails.
The "+" is the Viking symbol for the half way point between the pole
and the equator also found on the Kensington rune stone.
The "."s just mark position on the computer they were not there.
