This was a piece that we found in the gigantic bottle dump that we found. It has zero markings to identify it by. It appears to be a turtle with two bird feet on its back. Like if there was a bird standing on it at one time. It's head was broken off at one time. It is about 4 1/2in. long by 3in. wide and 2in. tall. It has some weight to it and I'm not sure of what metal it's made from. I would love to know if anyone could identify this find.

I'm trying to remember something I read awhile back about The Bird of Paradise on the back of the turtle and he holds the seed world in his mouth.  Native Americans call the USA "Turtle Island" I think because of the way the map of the USA looks from outer space.

Wait hold on here..."Native Americans call the USA "Turtle Island" I think because of the way the map of the USA looks from outer space."

Native Americans rode horses not spaceships...  LOL

You're right as rain mfitzs70, but when in Spirit they could travel up, up and away, just as we do today when we have an Out of Body experience.  There are many ways to enter the spirit world.  Plants, vision quests by fasting, sweat lodge and even dreaming.  They could look down on Mother Earth and see that Florida looks like a hind flipper,  Baja California a front flipper...connect the dots, go look at a map of the USA and see for yourself.  They needed no spaceship or spacesuite.

Understood.....but the only way I will have and "out of body" experience is when the good Lord takes me.

hmmmmm, if they're looking down on the earth, how are they going to separate Canada and Mexico from the United States?   As far as I know, only MAPS show the geo-political borders.   

I can see how they might call the US "Turtle Island" after looking at a map of the country, but I don't see how a space based view is going to show the North American land mass looking like a turtle.
