The old timers thought that all genes passed through the male member and that women served only as vessels. BTW, Gobekli Tepe tells us this ‘ligion was in use up to 12,000 years ago, and Stone Henge tells us it was still in use 3900 years ago ~ which is pretty good for that sort of thing,
http://elodietfr4.wikispaces.com/file/view/menhir.jpg/172428453/menhir.jpg now this is a big one from Carnac. As i mentioned the other day one of my ancestors OWNED THE WHOLE SITE and found plenty of paying customers who wanted to see it way back in the Middle Ages. This is also part of the Brocéliande (King Arthur was here too) ~ a truly ancient religious pilgrimage route begins here and ends up at Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Merlin’s tomb is supposedly there in Brittany and St. James bones are in Compostela. The founding date for the Borceliande is roughly 570 AD, with the repopulation of Brittany from Great Britain, and the founding date for Compestela is about 1000 or so ~ but that has to do with the founding of a Cathedral there. The pilgrimage trail is far, far, far older and both areas are regularly targeted for archaeological digs. The tradition probably goes back thousands of years.
