the archer is as much the bow as the stave itself - a machine cannot do this . . .

i should like to see such an historic bow - presumably some like this were recovered from the Mary Rose?

"I ... read somewhere that the exhumed skeletons of archers from this period have almost freakish, superhuman bone density in the shoulders and arms". fact or folklore - i'd really like to see some solid evidence for this?

this link doesn't work on my pc - http://www.liminae.co.uk/pages/england_wiltshire_pewsey_church.htm isn't there something about 'Peter the rock / foundation ...' in the New Testament, or something?

Could be that the site's been taken down m6. Maybe Ishmael can help you out there with another one. There's also a sarsen in the foundations at the back of Avebury church and several in the church foundations at Cliff Pypard. Seems like the phenomena is pretty wide spread - question is why :-)

'' 'The gods of the old are the demons of the new' is not always the case; certainly the old gods of the Bon religion in Tibet, and those of Hinduism and Shinto were all to find a venerable place within the Buddhist pantheon. Granted the monotheistic religions were/are not so accommodating but perhaps the older deities, or at least the layers of belief that inspired them, were not completely excluded.'' Zeus = Dieu, it is the same word (name)
