Why are (nearly all) recently found or unearthed ancient items always detailed as some form of deity or a religious ritual item? Can they not simply be a drunken artifact or a comic-book hero or someone's mother or father in-law or even a self-image? On the other hand, I do love me some 'supernatural realms of Celtic mythology'...plus, I happen to own every album Enya ever made.
