The Palm Print in the Sea
I first heard about the Palm Print in the while watching the video, 'Made in Second Life' by Draxtor Despres
In a book called 'Second Lives' by Tim Guest, Pathfinder Linden is quoted as saying that "The eye observes the world, the hand shapes it." The eye in hand symbol is embraced by many cultures.
The "eye in hand" symbol is commonly known as the Hamsa hand. Some interpretations link the Hamsa hand to the five chakras in Hinduism and Buddhism, while others see it as a symbol of wisdom and fertility.
It's also called the Hand of Fatima, or Hand of Mary. It's a protective symbol, often depicted with an eye in the center of the palm, believed to ward off the "evil eye" or negative energies. The Hamsa hand has variations and interpretations across different cultures and religions, including Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
I was immediately captivated by the idea of this region sized imprint in the sea floor and was determined to find it.
The Palm Print is located in north western Sansara, in the Bay of Space Pigs, just east of and area known as The Old World.
I had recently acquired a Fishing Trawler and was excited to try it out. It turned out to be the perfect boat for this voyage.
When I travel, I always have the Mini map open so that I can see where the region crossings are and the World map so I can see any possible points of interest in my vicinity. Which really paid off on this trip, as I discovered another historical location, The Ivory Tower Library of Prims.
The Library offers a self-guided, self-paced, comprehensive building tutorial also includes a weapons testing area and safe sandboxes where you can try out your newly-acquired skills.
I slowed my speed to about 35% and slowly made my way up the sea channels, enjoying the scenery and interesting builds as I chugged along.
This was a wonderful way to spend an evening exploring and learning more about the history of Second Life.
Until next time … Stay curious and enjoy your travels.
