It's all yours tiompan, I have a problem just deciding what club to use on the golf course!!! LOLOLOLOL[/quote]
I mentioned it due to the author's other part of the story i.e. "leading the souls to the afterlife ".Which is the reason given for the landscape figure .
I , and anybody who else for that matter , could suggest some possible approaches to what may have been the cosmology found in Britain in the Neolithic but it would be a guess , not really helpful , arrogant and more than likely wrong although it would be dificult to prove wrong as we can't ,like the author , possibly know .Apart from obvious animistic type stuff which pervades most pre modern cosmologies , unless there is a written record anything more than generalities are guesses .
