thanks,
the road would not be only deep grain... more like a hard surface with a thin layer of grain...

sure the mill required constant attention....just like a ship at sea...men had to attend to the sails at all times. but it was worth it.....and remember those old sailing ships were going half way around the world just to return with spices and tea... that is a lot of trouble to go to for a cup of tea.

as for the amount of work to harvest and carry grain.... my god, they carried 50 ton megaliths to the site and erected them... by your argument, stonehenge would never have been built at all. who would go to so much trouble just to observe the sunrise...........?

food was supremely important to the neolithic people.........as was their religion... the two were connected.

thanks for your comments. please keep them coming...
