Mauri,
Thanks, I read some posts on the web some time back about his research 
and
the responses it generated. There is work by Julian Jaynes that I found 
most
stimulating in a similar way. Jaynes in his work postulated a time when 
Mankind's
Brain had different constructive characteristics comparative to today's
circumstance, he pointed to the Wernicke portion of the brain and the 
Corpus
Collasum involving the Anterior Commissure. He looks for a basis for the 
ancient
presencing of the voice of Deity heard by man as reported in many 
cultures. A
subsequent change in the physical organization materially changed the 
auditory
receptive ability of individuals is his theory. It is an original 
investigation which he 
supports in part by illustrative means taken from monuments of the 
ancient past.
