Two rectangular stone slabs rise from the sand, suggesting graves, or perhaps Moses' tablets; on them, rows of figures turn, bend and dip as they pace back and forth along their circumscribed route.
The pyramid of Khephren at Giza seen from sky is represented primarily by its immense shadow stretching across the sand, suggesting the cryptic astronomical meanings built into this monument to the dead.
The effect of these images is somewhat surreal; the contrast of the tents and front walks, the longleafs' drooping needles and the smooth yards of sand suggest a kind of domesticity that would have been recognizable to viewers back in New Hampshire.
A study published in March 2015 reports that the jets contain grains of sand, suggesting that the hidden ocean has a floor of rock and sand, and hinting at the presence of deep sea vents.
EOF amplitude and shoreline response are weakly correlated to bypassed volumes when the system bypassed smaller volumes (average of 56% of design rate) of sand suggesting that there is a minimum bypassing rate, regardless of yearly variability, below which the effect on the downdrift beach is obscured.
The Bronze Age structures are overlain with sterile sand, suggesting a break in occupation prior to the next phase of building.
Mark Zuehlke notes that "the Canadians ended the day ahead of either the US or British divisions despite the facts that they landed last and that only the Americans at Omaha faced more difficulty winning a toehold on the sand", suggesting that the calibre of the training the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division had received beforehand explains their success.
