Grande Sol at Serra do Sol by Christopher Davis

This panorama was taken at the open-air rock-art site of Serra do Sol, which is a stretch of rock-art along the northwest part of Serra do Ererê. The name Ererê is an Amazonian Indian word whose significnce is lost to time. Some current tour guides and local inhabitants jibe that it means "goodbye" twice. This joke comes from the idea that "ere" means goodbye and so "ererê" is saying goodbye one more time. However, Ererê probably meant something different than this joke.
Serra do Sol is signified by the large (greater than 1 meter diameter) concentric circles of red and yellow that can be seen from the road a few kilometers away. To further distinguish this panel of art from a nearby panel of art in the same Serra do Sol region, I call this panel "Grande Sol" (Big Sun), and the other major panel "Aqui eu sou" (Here I am).
The Grande Sol panel has several images that appear to be astronomical in nature, including star-like patterns, possible depictions of planets, and perhaps a personified nova or supernova star that at some point in the past may have seamed to appear above the mountain.
