Sanningen om pikterna?

[WEst Kennet Long Barrow]

Pikterna, som höll emot romarna, var nog inga primitiva barbarer trots allt:

The Picts have long been regarded as enigmatic savages who fought off Rome's legions before mysteriously disappearing from history, wild tribesmen who refused to sacrifice their freedom in exchange for the benefits of civilisation. But far from the primitive warriors of popular imagination, they actually built a highly sophisticated culture in northern Scotland in the latter half of the first millennium AD, which surpassed their Anglo-Saxon rivals in many respects.

[Dûrion Annûndil]

Vad artikeln inte nämner, är att det alltså rör sig om ett kristet kloster från ca 550 e.Kr. Varför det skulle rucka på bilden av de barbariska pikterna 500 år tidigare, vete gudarna...
