How interesting…the benefits of civilization…hmmm.

This is huge folks…this is prior to Christianized invaders…and roughly cognizant of the time of Beowulf. Uff, this has made my day.

EDIT 9-24-09: Apparently not before Christianized invaders, as one of the items has a verse from the bible on it. But still, awesome.
