Well I came across a funny but sad symbol today, it was on one of the Lansdown's Civil War battlefields. They have recently erected a stone carved with an image of a man joined at the waist by another upside man, and a little dog dancing above with a whip in his hand. Its a 17th c image, and the wording underneath reads "World turned upside Down from a 17th image - Lansdown 1643." 300 years later our world is, according to "the media" turned upside down by religion and war, but was it ever so, our peaceful megalithic stones would probably have told a similar story. The Battle of the Lansdown date is July 5th 1643, followed by the Battle of Roundway Down (near to Avebury) July 13th..
