&gt;In a couple of days I will post some (translated into English for the<br/>
&gt;benifit of most of you) stuff from some books I have, that both<br/>
&gt;unequivocally state that the Breitenstein is still a boundary marker<br/>
&gt;between Lorraine (the Bitscherland) and Alsace (&quot;Crooked Alsace&quot;).<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;I haven&#39;t got time for it right now, but I thought I&#39;d give you<br/>
&gt;a &quot;warning&quot; ;-)<br/>

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