Jose Bedia, the famous Cuban explorer/archaeologist, discovered this stirring wheel, sometimes referred to as the "Fifth" or "Big" wheel, during his second excavation of the ruins at White Planes [sic] in 3290 AD. 'He believes that the stirring wheel was a symbol of office for the Great White Father, often called, "The Man Behind the Wheel". Bedia claims that the chief would stand behind the wheel to make pronouncements and stirring speeches.'"	en_US
