I do not mean that the find validates that Romulus and Remus were suckled, or really existed. That is the whole point! Obviously, the Romans held this to be true, and erected this monument in this cave to this end. Whether or not the cave was truly the cave that they were suckled in, and if it really happen is not proven, of course. What is proven is that a cave with a monument to this legend exists, and that the Romans actually celebrated this. This validates the legend that Romans held this to be true (or at least celebrated it). It will continue to be a myth and legend (Romulus and Remus being suckled in a cave), unless further evidence is uncovered that sheds more light upon it. That is the point. This applies in the same cases with the Bible, the Koran, the Book of the Hindu, etc. I hope that was written clearly enough :eek: [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/397/]WebShaman[/url] \| [i]The keenest sorrow (and greatest truth) is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities. - Sophocles[/i] Loading...
