Interesting that the oak was sacred to so many ancient peoples.

That is kind of odd. Unless it was passed from culture to culture through contact, it wouldn’t be too far out to think that reverence for the oak (I once read that “druid” is a transliteration of “daru vid” which means “to know the oak”) percolated up from whatever underlying people once covered Europe.
