Just passing through

Today I tried to put the references into a uniform format. More references to books and articles, as opposed to web sites, would strengthen this article. I don't have the expertise to know the best ones. -- Astrochemist (talk) 15:16, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Later Theories

Winter Solstice: I searched hard but can't now find who it was that remarked that the winter solstice would have been much more important to peoples who lacked writing, and hence only had a knowledge of the past going back about three generations? As I recall, he suggested that after midsummer, they had no certainty that the days wouldn't keep shortening indefinitely and winter go on and on. After the winter solstice they wouldn't just have celebrated hugely, they could safely start using their stores of food. How important would those spiritual and temporal leaders be. Am I conflating more than one thing I read some years ago? L0ngpar1sh (talk) 20:49, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
