Hi david
I read your post with great enjoyment, thank you..
I think what I was getting at is that I thought India was the birthplace of
the goddess mother, and it was here that mankind made its first struggle to
try and structure their beliefs into an organised system of values.
And I was sure that Sanskrit, was the earliest known language for which we
have actual documents still in existence... I could be wrong of course
