Wow! Does this put its advent near the time that onagumi was no longer beings used by worshippers there on the southwest end of Japan?

the path to the dark side, that is.
I like the way, first of all, Count Dooku has killed like 50 people, and it’s Christopher frickin’ Lee anyway, and he’s evil, and like, an hour later, Yoda says- “the dark side I sense in you.” Really? Do you think?

The later Star Wars movies aren’t known for snappy, clever dialogue.

The fascinating and beautiful Thracian, Macedonian, Roman, Bulgar city of Plovdiv is the site of additional rock sanctuaries. You can explore them unmolested in a neglected city park to your hearts content.

I would hope so ... otherwise we will be seeing our antique world up for auction on the ... Road Show! The antiquities of the US only go back a couple hundred years. I'm excluding the "indigenous"* element in this statement.
* Indigenous Peoples: population that immigrated before you did.

Oh no... don’t tell me we have someone here who hasn’t watched the Star Wars trilogies. We have one of -those-. You have my pity.

Orpheus (Greek: Ορφεύς; pronunciation: ohr'-fee-uhs)[1] is a figure from Greek mythology called by Pindar "the father of songs". His name does not occur in Homer or Hesiod, but he was known by the time of Ibycus (c.530 BC). Orpheus was believed to be one of the chief poets and musicians of antiquity, and the inventor or perfector of the lyre. With his music and singing, he could charm wild beasts, coax the trees and rocks into dance and even divert the course of rivers. As one of the pioneers of civilization, he is said to have taught humanity the arts of medicine, writing and agriculture. Closely connected with religious life, Orpheus was an augur and seer; practised magical arts, especially astrology; founded or rendered accessible many important cults, such as those of Apollo and the Thracian god Dionysus; instituted mystic rites both public and private; and prescribed initiatory and purificatory rituals. In addition, Pindar describes Orpheus as the harpist and companion of Jason and the Argonauts. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus
