Readers may be incredulous, but I'm being serious. The claim is all graphic.
The claimants' pictures are seen below:
- A female I named Athena - she is the dominant figure in an engraving over
fourteen-thousands years old. It was found buried in the earthen floor of
a cave at La Marche, near the town of Lussac-les-Châteaux, France. Athena's
head is full of exact ideas regarding the Great Pyramid.

- Athena's sidekick - the Nazca Monkey - Nazca, Peru
- The red lines are mine; the perpendicular is the central axis of the X-shape,
which the monkey stands in. The angle of the X is a very precise 36 degrees.
This angle is the same as the one at the tip of a 5-pointed star (pentagram) -
a valuable clue to play with.

Since this monkey dwarfs King Kong, in the highly hypothetical case of it portraying
a robot, it would make an ideal construction worker at Giza, or Cuzco.. :)
Before getting down to business, however, I'd like to test how locals perceive order and chaos in graphics. Look at the picture below: There is a red square, with an inscribed square and a circumscribed circle, over Athena's right foot. Do you find a significant degree of orderly correlation between these and the foot, or does the whole seem basically chaotic to you?
If you just threw this square randomly towards Athena's feet, would you expect it to land as systematically as it does here? I got the idea from the Nazca Monkey, so it was a long throw indeed. Of course, my experiment was not random; I had a geometrical hypothesis, but a skeptic will object that the artist had no complex geometry in mind; therefore, my act must be of random nature.
Incidentally, the width of this square turns out the same as the width of the left foot (blue square).
In the second magnified image down, we see that this square happens to also fit over Athena's head on three sides with almost microscopic perfection.

I'm looking forward to your opinions.
