From left,

drawing depicting the princes of nár-way using as backdrop the jaguar sacrificial vessel carved in stone

an offering of the unborn stone child (lithopedion) to the skeletal swine claw

the now king of the netherlands and maxima atop the Sun pyramid with a view to the Moon one

frederik and mary of denmark posing with Jaguar, God of Earth, as backdrop

the other skeletal swine claw in the show, with trampled pearls and fuel pipe, seemingly empty handed

the Sun Stone, creation and destruction, human sacrifice to the Sun movement with the now king of belgians

Collosal Head 9 what most impressed felipe and letizia of spain for it was smiling

Facing wall,

two birth demo pelves in axis, bearing the coming geomyth

Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) rock fracturing with pressurized liquid creating cracks in deep-rock formations through which shale gas, oil, tight gas and brine will flow more freely... major part of the Golden Age of Gas
