The Paps of Anu

Aug 02, 2003, 09:14

Well, there's the Paps of Anu for a start. Anu being Ainé, sister of Grainé the Celtic sun goddess.

The Paps are two wonderful hills in north Cork which, when you drive past, make you very uncomfortable. The actual Irish name for them is a more realistic version translating more to "Anu's Tits".

I believe there's the Paps in Scotland too.

Now this isn't a pair of jubblies, but have a look at this:

Right on the false horizon created by the top of the hill is this:

Amazingly I seem to be the first person to have spotted this wonderful alignment (for a few thousand years anyway).

I think this one is unmistakable.
