Megalithic yard

Let us not have the megalithic yard / greek fathom relationship stuff added unless there is a reliable source discussing it in the context of this specific object. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 16:32, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree, sources must discuss the subject which is this relief and aksi note that in any case the book by Anne Macaulay is published by a publisher who says "Our adult non-fiction books cover all aspects of holistic and alternative living, including holistic health, organics and the environment, holistic education, mind body spirit, child health and development, self-help, religion and spirituality, and community living."

Well, I'll hold off re-adding it until I've purchased Macaulay's book, which looks quite good really and I will argue notable if i can directly cite. I'm not seeing anything (maybe the word spirit) that looks too dubious in that publisher description. The Authors and editors certainly have a certain notability -

About the Author(s)

Richard A. Batchelor, M.Sc., F.G.S. is a Research Fellow in Geology at the University of St Andrews. He is the author of Origin of St Andrews, which explores the sacred geometry of Fife.

It does seem to cover the Greek - Megalithic linkage which is quite clear in this relief. Paul Bedson ❉talk❉ 18:00, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
