# Irrelevent but
Brown Cow I read you are from Hemel Hempstead (further down the page) I was wondering where abouts as I am from near (ish) there and my bro lives there. Or perhaps I actually know you and I am unaware of your secret identity?

# I think
though religion is largely wrong, there's some knowledge in it that we atheists don't have access to, so it's not entirely worthless.
Also I'm not down with the mayflies, or the lemurs, cute though they are.

# did you know
there was a global religion that spanned all mankind until about 10k years ago 'Animism' that had been around for millions of years since the dawn of the first human ?
/edit- and that all the religions we know today were created to fill the void that the agricultural experiment left as it went against everything man believed before that..

# Hehe
yes, I heard that theory in a documentary about stonehenge, explaining it as part of a moon cult. Mourning for their hunter-gatherer past, people would wait for the night of the longest moonlight (as reckoned by stonehenge) and then totally flip out and run around chasing things. It was a very good story. Which is all that kind of documentary usually is.

# hehe
stonehenge was part of the start of the agricultural experiment, to try to know when to plant crops, the start of mans experiment to try to control the world. they wouldnt mourne something that they could easily go back to at any time.
Like walking upstairs with the intention to go downstairs.
This is still history of man, and there was 'hundreds of thousands' of years of mankind history before that , just our culutre teaches us that this is pre-history and not worht looking at. Its like saying the earliest fish swam in water, but the creature just before the fish, the pre-fish swam in 'pre-water'. :D

# pre-history is fascinating
but difficult to look at.
What were cup-and-ring rock markings for? And what's the connection between the british and scandinavian ones and the mediterranean ones, like in malta?

# We have a fuck of a lot of them
they all look the same, and nobody knows what they mean or do.
Uh, cup-and-ring marks, that is.

# hmm
cant say for certain,, but 'neolithic' ends at the point in time when one tribe of man started the agricultural experiment and through the over production of food leading to over population had to expand into hunter gather territory ( generally thru geonicide ) or sometimes assimilation. It wasnt this change that everyone just picked up and did.. ( very much like the invasion of the american indians). in fact approx 10000 other cultures didnt agree to this 'controling of the world' experiment.
anything after that time, bronze age etc.. is already on the way into the experiment.
Also this is the time when the great forgetting started, where man 'forgot' how to live , the way that evolved with him from the dawn of time, and tried to take control of everything, this is probably why they remain slightly mysterious as the people that created them were wiped out and forgotten by the farming cultures.
The connection is probably because man was already travelling very far distances by that time as they were always being pushed by the agriculturists fighting for new land all the time.

/edit- in fact looking at them again, they could almost be a pictorial representsation of an agricultural culture expanding over time and growing and competing against other tribal territories.. hmmmm .. like the rings on a tree, but a permanent record of surrounding tribal territories, i can almost see them sitting down with the chiefs discussing this expansion.. ( but this is just a theory that suddenly seems to make sense )
