what has struck me for a long time is the similarity between cup and ring markings and that of australian aboriginal art. Although I doubt there is any connection between the two we may be able to learn something from the culture of the aboriginals and apply this to our ancient cultures where the knowledge of such symbolism has been lost.

Hey Caroline!
I think you're right- what strikes me is the similarity between many ancient cultures and their art. Look at the amount of places around the world where spirals and labyrinth designs have been found- they're all over the place. One of my mates did a bit of research before getting a labyrinth tattoo and came across a fabby book (can't remember what it was though-doh!) which was full of designs from around the globe and all very very similar,
Cheery,
