How can you say that a physically observable alignment does not 'seem intentional' and then talk about something subjective as being 'obvious'? Because I know what I'm talking about. Simple as. A bit like you saying: "Every site has to be assessed on its own merits. If, once you've considered every site, there is a pattern then you have a general theory. If there isn't a pattern to particular aspects this does not make the observations at each site invalid - it just means there's no pattern in the data you've collected. You may get local patterns amongst monument types that are global." To which I'd say, 'Well done - you're getting there." To which I'd say, "I've always been there, wondering where everyone else is." :-) Reply | with quote |  12th September 2007ce 17:12 In reply to: Re: Rock Art and Astronomical Events (Paulus) |
