Warwick,

IMHO ...The Goal was allways the same. they were dealing with te4h same traditions and beliefs. But as much as those beliefs were entrenched from earliest times (elemental in basis) they morphed on an almost continual basis. Whether each differernce was to to whim, differeing demands, variations in available time labour and resources...


This is what makes me think you don't exactly mean the same thing as I do. I was not talking about the goal itself, but the basic beliefs linked to it. Your above statement speaks rather for those beliefs to have been continually changing. I on my side think that it was more the means to express the belief that changed, not the belief itself. If the beliefs had changed all that fast, the PTs wouldn't be studded with much older utterances and other Cannibal Hymns.

And no, Warwick, I was not thinking of sAH. At all.
