# Medieval Koran stolen in Turkey. ISTANBUL (AP) Thieves stole a handwritten
15th century Koran from Topkapi Palace, the former home of Ottoman sultans
that is now one of Turkey's most visited museums. It is not clear how the
Islamic holy book was removed from its sealed case. Nearby valuables were
not taken. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560980599-807
: Does y'r belief system generate holy artifacts? Are any old, valuable, too
tempting for greedy humans? Is desecration punishable by eternal damnation??

# Ruins of old church found in China. BEIJING (AP) A 700-year-old ruin found
along China's ancient Silk Road is thought to be the site of the earliest
Roman Catholic church built in Asia. The ruins are located in the Inner
Mongolian town of Abinsm ["a place with many temples"], 380 miles NW of
Beijing. Walls 16-1/2 feet high mark the site, which is believed to have
once housed a huge main hall with two rostrums up to 16 feet high. A white
stone lion recently found under the ruins resembles those found at Cath-
olic cathedrals in Italy. Unauthorized worshippers will be arrested.

: Does y'r belief system build big holy structures? Are any old, abandoned,
ruined? Have you reclaimed any lost sites? Do you perform filthy rituals??

# New chapter added to history of Avebury stones. AVEBURY, UK (AP) Finding a
lost "avenue" of slabs at the Avebury stone circle may rewrite the history
of the noted prehistoric site. The large gray stones were discovered last
week under a farmer's field near the site in southern England. The stones
may form a causeway linking the famous stone circle to the Beckhampton
burial site, about a mile SW. The find supports theories that the Avebury
stones did not stand alone, but were connected to other ceremonial sites.

: Does y'r belief system build big holy structures? Are they linked to other
structures? Do you have a hidden worldwide network? Are you everywhere? Why?
