I'm wondering if you could kindly let us know what type of architecture we see in this VMS image:



In what country could we expect to see an edifice that looks like that prior to the year 1250?

Turkey

I hope you and JKP dont mind me interjecting, i couldnt resist. I think Diane put me onto Cappadoccia. To me, all the stratified blue blobs in the manuscript are different kinds of rocks.

I think the teepee is a volcano. The circles likely mean the rock is porphyritic, ie has little pieces of crystals mixed in a finer comglomerate, or that it is porous. 

Hi Linda,

Nice to see someone else commenting in this thread. It was starting to get a little boring with just me and JP. Other opinions are always welcome.

For the first edifice, besides Russian-like tower tops, I'm looking for lots of ground level arches which I'm not seeing in those Turkish depictions. I see at least one aspect of the edifice in Moorish, Indo-Islamic, Byzantine and Slavic architecture but a lot of the available depictions aren't old enough. Per my theories, that edifice has to be 13th century or earlier. Someone should know the answer to this. The heretic sect in question is believed to have originated in Bulgaria and then migrated across western Europe but converts to their religion could have come from almost anywhere.

For the alleged tepee, I see that the Mexican proponents claim that it is a smoking volcano; in fact, they even claim to have identified the specific volcano in question which, of course, is a bunch of nonsense. The bulges on the sides strongly suggest a tepee unless we envision souls (the circles) trying to escape their container, banging up against the sides and thereby creating the bulges. The alleged crisscrossed logs (note that smoke tends to blow only in one direction at a time)  would then be indicating nothing more than where souls are squirting out to enter another realm.

In general, I find that the VMS does a good job in separating Old World stuff from New World stuff. Thus, I have to agree with JP on this one: it's most likely not a tepee nor a volcano.
