Thanks very much for that, desertblues. I had never heard of this place before. Truly wonderful, including their extraordinary accuracy in calculating the exact length of a year. And how tragic that it should have been destroyed so soon after it was built.

This book has certainly got us thinking about all sorts of things! And to get back to the book - I have been pondering on the meaning of the title, referring to something mentioned almost fleetingly towards the end of the book. I think it symbolises truth - shining there on top of the hill, but almost impossible to capture.

What a great choice this book was. Thank you again for putting it forward, desertblues!
