While walking in Eskisehir, Turkey last June I found a child's drawing of two unusual cone-shaped beings on the sidewalk in front of the local elementary school. I have posted a scan of this drawing in our photo album for your perusal...

Re: Cone-Shaped Beings
10/28It is a form of dress or dwellings (like a shroud or teepee)...the figures one male and one female, male has a beard (middle east, i think so) they are not cone head shaped beings...but that is very Saturday Night Live of you...
I think the two people Male in front and female in the back and both are walking is some kind of ceremonial garb or religious clothing maybe Christian Orthodox...Maybe they are both male and an older male is leading the younger male is a religious ceremony...thats my interp anyway -

Re: Cone-Shaped Beings
10/28Ah, I have solved the mystery of the cone-shaped being drawings...they are a childs representation of a Christian Orthodox Icon...It took me a minute...the Lines gave it away, many metal icons have cut out lines radiating around the figures and the faces of the religious symbols, Madonna and Child for example...I think the lines represent spiritual energy radiating from the figures...as always my interp

Re: Cone-Shaped Beings
10/29Believe me, I was not thinking of Saturday Night Live when I posted this picture- that was Marvin's idea!
Of the ideas you mention the most intriguing to me is that the figures are in the shape of tipis. That's because I have a curiosity about references to Native American culture in Turkey. I started a disussion thread about this in the Istanbul tribe last month.
It's unlikely that the figures have anything to do with Christian Orthodoxy since Turkey is 99% Moslem.
Actually- I had a dream about a cone-shaped being like this back in 2001- it looked something like a monster from a 1950's Sci-Fi movie- I went back and looked it up in one of my old journals when I found this drawing. But this interpretation is so far-fetched that I wasn't even going to mention it. Well, what the hell... I wish I could find something on the movie- it's something stuck in my memory from an old copy of Famous Monsters of Filmland, I'm sure!
Steve: Speaking of Pere Ubu... I'm going to see the rock group Pere Ubu perform up in Los Angeles tonight- this is off topic but... I have to start getting ready to go. Have a good Sunday everybody! -

Re: Cone-Shaped Beings
10/29I thought you would like the teepee remark...It is a doodle, I am not sure if there are rules about what children can draw on a scrap piece of paper...no matter their religion...(but maybe your right Its a Turkish Cone Head Tribe from Madagascar...super human beings that have travelled to Turkey from cone head land...
I have copied some religious info about turkey...
The remainder of the population belong to other beliefs, namely Christian (Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Syriac Orthodox, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism), Judaism, the Bahá'í Faith, Yezidism and Atheism.
There is a strong tradition of secularism in Turkey. Even though the state has no official religion nor promotes any, it actively monitors the area between the religions. The constitutional rule that prohibits discrimination on religious grounds is taken very seriously. The Turkish Constitution recognises freedom of religion for individuals, and the religious communities are placed under the protection of state, but the constitution explicitly states that they cannot become involved in the political process, by forming a religious party for instance. No party can claim that it represents a form of religious belief. However, religious sensibilities are generally represented through conservative parties. Turkey, as a secular country, prohibits by law, the wearing of religious headcover and theo-political symbolic garments for both genders in government buildings, schools, and universities.[18]

10/29TeePee like : Yaranga is a tent-like traditional mobile home of nomads of some Northern indigenous peoples of Russia, such as Chukchi.
It is built of a light wooden frame covered with reindeer skins sewn together. A medium-size yaranga requires about 50 skins.
Maybe you can find a link with Asia and Native Americans if you try... -

. The latest genetic research shows that, indeed, the people on the other side of the Bering Strait in those days were Turkic, and that Native Americans do have genetic origins among Turkic populations. They share Shamanism. The Ojibwa use the word "yurt" for "tent." Cherokees use ana ata for "father and mother." There are other mythical connections as well. -

Re: Cone-Shaped Beings
10/29Ok my latest theory (not that anyone cares but) lol...Ok, the school children were on a field trip to a local Museum, the student sketched some ancient Byzantine Empire ceremonial dress (like a kamelaukion) at the museum and dropped it outside the school...Yes, i think i have solved the mystery... -

10/30I don't really want to encourage this excessive Wiki-mania, but there's one more possibility we have not considered-
I went to Wikipedia and searched for "Childs Drawing of Cone-Shaped Being Radiating Light", and it gave me this:
