Our ancestors (despite what some believe) were not stupid.

Agreed.

They were just as clever and without the benefit of technology which allows us to build on the past.

You're most welcome. I loved this part:
General Julius Agricola... called the place Mamuciam - meaning 'breast-shaped hill' because of the shape of the outcrop.
Hey, Julius Agricola could make a great name for a soft drink marketed to geeks like me...
