Pagan script given arbitrary sounds hidden language out there...culture astounds why the diversity..concealed message uncoded but the people used written blocks to build modern homes would rise at the expense of crafty folk and supportive guilds. a civilization here another there winner takes loser....new game to fare from Hittite...hair styles went Egyptian monuments were constructed beyond prediction the later Romans sent their legions to pillages affronted other religions by burning villages created a venue for captives to please victors once a functional Coloseum.... later a grassland forum once there was pasture...open field citizen folk were incensed by a need to expand so they conquered and leveled surrounding land and took prized stone..the white glazed lime then to deface monuments was hardly a crime.. cornices vanished from a family mausoleum white rock disappeared from a larger Coloseum....

I like these small history snapshots, Martin. Fragmented images, yet artfully pieced together they reveal a long line of humanity's foibles, past to present. |

very good assumption of what was intended...foibles of mankind and their continuation  |
