The turtle in many cultures represents the Earth and the patterns of its shell the world grid (an interlocking pattern of geometries that when overlapped upon the earth highlights zones and lines of great significance and harmonic relationships). In the Hindu story of the churning of the Sea of Milk, Vishnu becomes the avatar of the turtle to support the primeval ocean/milk (Milky Way) as it churned by the devas and asuras to generate the Amrita which will guarantee them immortality. In Mayan cosmology the turtle represent the earth but also the constellation of Orion. It is said the Maize god burst from the turtle shell of Orion and became the World Tree which signifies the Milky Way. In ancient Chinese mythology the Milky Ways is called the Sea of Crystal. The icosahedron geometries are the platonic solid that represents water but is also the principle geometry in the modern day model of the UVG grid. They also represent the lightships of the visitors from the higher worlds.
