Possible religious items

[Koen G]

What I learned recently is that the T-O diagram in itself is also an indicator of Christian culture. This doesn't necessarily prove that the message of the VM is Christian, but it does show cultural affinity. The presence of things like cloudbands (of the styles found in the VM) and T-O diagrams argues strongly against theories that suppose an entirely non-Christian origin. The few obvious cultural markers we have show affinity with medieval Christianity.
