Morten St George Theory

[Linda]

Linda, JP now wants to de-emphasize northern Italy.

The only reason northern Italy comes into my theory is because the whole world does, or at least the ecumene as it was before tales of China came to the fore. The page on which the animal is found happens to be one that, in my interpretation, covers places in or near the Alps.

I am open to my id not being the case, but given my hypothesis leads to the alps on this page, i have yet to see a good reason why an armadillo or pangolin would be there, beyond a slight resemblance, and certainly neither are found in the Alps, which is why i am going with the ram identification.

I think that JKP stays even more open minded and therefore allows for all considerations, unless there is something that refutes the idea. I dont think he is de emphasizing anything, just trying to tell you that there is no proof of any of our ideas, we can only list what we think and try to support it with further observations, but nothing is proven one way or another.

For instance, I can see where you get the idea for swamp water, but the same imagery means mineralized water to me. 

Just thought i would show that although it may look like an animal, the story could be quite different, but we can't really know what it is meant to portray until we can read the text and hopefully it will give us context.

I too am hoping that one day we will be able to read the VMS as I'm confident that it would vindicate many of my theories.
