"The Amphitheater", created by Native American artist Daniel Valdes, showing discovery of the time portal inside Shiprock by twin Navajo brothers Jeb and Jeremy Benally. This is the artwork by artist Daniel Valdes used for the cover of The Porthole To Time written by: Jeb and Jeremy accidentally discover the ruins of the ancient Dutch sailing ship entombed inside Shiprock. Illuminated in the New Mexico moonlight, the ship's porthole becomes a window to the past and a gateway into their future.
"Early settlers said Shiprock floated on the desert at sunset like a sailing ship coursing an endless sea of shifting sand. The Navajos called it Tse Bit ai', the winged rock, because they believed it was once a giant bird that flew them to safety, descended back to the desert of what is now New Mexico, and then morphed into stone.
"Shiprock is also the marker stone for the resting place of a Dutch sailing ship transported piece by piece across the scorching desert by the ancient Navajos. During the journey, the porthole in the Captain's cabin was electrified by a freak lightning storm and became a portal to time -- a tunnel into the past and a gateway to the future."
Seeking shelter from a rainstorm while horseback riding, ten-year-old Chrissy accidentally discovers the terrifying secret of the porthole and gets trapped in the past. If the volcanic rock can't come to life once again to rescue her, can Jeb and Jeremy possibly save her? Don't miss the first story of their Jeep adventures in New Mexico at Shiprock!
