“Time, which antiquates antiquities, and hath an art to make dust of all things, hath yet spared these minor monuments.’”-—Sir THoMAS BROWNE.

BEFORE proceeding to examine the mass of new evidence for the former widespread prevalence of ‘‘ Sun-worship ”’ amongst the Ancient Catti Barats or Britons who erected the prehistoric Stone Circles in Britain, and amongst their descendants down to the Christian period, it is desirable here to see what light, if any, our newly-found HittoSumerian origin of the Britons may throw upon the prehistoric “‘ Cup-markings ’’ which are sometimes found carved upon stones in these circles, in funereal barrows, upon some standing stones, dolmens and stone-cist coffins, and on rocks near Ancient Briton settlements, over a great part of the British Isles (see Fig. 30), and in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe and the Levant, associated with megalith culture, and whose origin, carvers and meaning of the Cup-markings have now been completely forgotten.
