<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">From Sandy Fleming:</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">"Similarly, the abundance of roughly "gothic" arches: there aren't that
<br>many viable shapes to choose from when it comes to arches, so I'm not <br>surprised when the same theme crops up in different places."</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">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.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">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.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">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?</div> <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">John Welch</span><br><br>
