<div id="ygrps-yiv-2094430468">if the monster &or any of its suspected companions do prove to be as alive & <br/>
working today as peter & i would both like to believe<br/>
then i think the only remaining question is<br/>
when did it or they become a boundary demarcation<br/>
<br/>
& i realize this is not necessarily the same question as<br/>
when were they erected<br/>
for we dont know whether their original purpose was to mark a boundary<br/>
or whether they were only subsequently appropriated for that purpose<br/>
<br/>
but leaving that loose end hanging<br/>
the monster does appear to stand approximately on the traditional celtic <br/>
germanic frontier as described by caesar in the first century bc<br/>
<br/>
& i believe both the rocks & the frontier could be far more ancient than <br/>
that<br/>
tho i would trim my earlier guess of coeval with stonehenge<br/>
  thus 4 or 5 millennia old<br/>
back to perhaps only 3 millennia old<br/>
if druidic is truly the operative word here<br/>
<br/>
& the fact that it was so elaborately christianized<br/>
as one might expect the rock of ages to be<br/>
a quirk of history perhaps<br/>
or a cosmic joke<br/>
or what really<br/>
<br/>
