"It’s known that Bronze Age and Iron Age Britons deposited thousands of prehistoric objects in the river as gifts to its deity or spirits. "But now, archaeologists investigating a site in east London have discovered what may be a 9th-century BC Bronze Age temple or ceremonial centre established specifically to honour or venerate the Thames as the physical incarnation of such divinity."

For some it is inconceivable that white males have not always been the pinnacle of worship. That term came about in the 17th-18th Century. It's a "neo-myth". The oldest reference was 1713. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
