Thankyou Kate, the setting is researched, to add to the knowledge picked up over a long and adventurous life in many countries. I study ancient etymological connections between EU tongues, My family have been multilingual nomads for thousands of years with a tradition of stories passed down orally, so I guess there is a racial memory in all my genes / cells....... I fantasize a little too, but only what my gut tells me is probably right. Then when I am really stuck, I refer to the G.Y. Dragon......

Hi Kate, In my Ancient Legends, based around 13000 years ago, I play with similar themes. That Women mostly hold the intellectual, spiritual side. Wijkens get more attention than others. She is descended from a line of women skilled in medicine and the first written language.... cave painting.

Still to be published is :- After her death the tribal spoken lore gradually drifts from the original, eventually turning her into the first acclaimed goddess - pre-Mesopotania . Peace, Maurice

Hi Maurice, thanks for your comment. I took a look at Ancient Legends just now and Wijkens the Teacher life and times. It's fascinating. Where do you find your information: through research or direct knowledge or fantasy imagining?
