Did'nt the game of chess originate in Asia? 8 pieces on the original board which may have been the ground. I'll check it out with him.
How do, Trow, sorry I haven't acknowledged your post here- I have been up to my neck in Anglo Saxon gold, Rosetta Stones and thoughts of symbolism from coptic to Ogham.
The Bearded Finkel there is an interesting fellow and adds to the notion that, counter to some lumpen fools of christendom I encountered recently who maintain that history only began when monks began to write it, symbols on stone and in soft metals and indeed on cave walls and so on are just as accurate when examined forensically and carefully as written records are in Latin and so on.
I was pleased to find in a timeline of the First Great Dynasty of the Pharaohs (4,960 years ago) that Newgrange was mentioned as a timeline comparison in a leading Egyptologist's book).
Studying up on the emergence of scribes in ancient history and their effect on political/social life ... you think Sun journos were bad... this lot were a scruffy and ill-demeanoured lot and shysters abounded among them.
I see that your Dogstar appears in honourable mention as well, Khufu's Great Pyramid aligned with true North to one twentieth of one degree and the small passages off the central chamber aligned to twin polar stars which never disappeared all year round below the Egyptian horizon and of course your friend Sirius B.
I am up to my oxster in sand and symbols here, Trow, and enjoying myself hugely
Think National. Act Local. Oh- and superstition is just the dark matter of human history.
