>From Sandy Fleming:
"Similarly, the abundance of roughly "gothic" arches: there aren't that
many viable shapes to choose from when it comes to arches, so I'm not
surprised when the same theme crops up in different places."
I'm guessing that is a reply to my comment on Gothic. What I was meaning was
the steeple with 4 corner spires, based on the +. It is the shape of square
Persian mihr temples with 4 gables, and 4 corner spires. That 4 gable is
seen at Mother temple Armenia with outlying towers of that shape, and the
altar is built over a previous mihr. The largest example is Angkor Wat in
Cambodia, of central tower and 4 towers, built by Kamboja rulers of Greek
Punjab in India with Scythians, their fellow Iranian tribe. It represents
Meru, IE mythic world-mountain of governance.
Scots may have come from Gauls and their Danube region, which river flows to
Hungary where Scythians and Celts were present from 450 BC. If Scythians did
not become "Saxons", the Scythian influence was a long-term fact of life,
with Polish nobles identifying with it until last century.
The 4 corner spire concept is seen in Maeshowe and Newgrange mounds of 3000
BC, with free-standing pillars in the corners of the chambers where space
was created at enormous cost in labour. Is that where IE concepts of
symbolic rulership were developed?
