Staffordshire Hoard 'to help rewrite history' (BBC)
A haul of Anglo-Saxon gold discovered beneath a Staffordshire farmer's field could help rewrite history, experts say.

Historians believe the Staffordshire Hoard could hold vital clues to explain the conversion of Mercia - England's last great Pagan kingdom - to Christianity in the 7th Century.

The hoard was found buried on a farm in Staffordshire in July 2009.

The 1,500 pieces of gold are thought to be the spoils of an Anglo-Saxon battle.

1. Actually what you don't understand is that
Paganism and Christianity, and Buddhism, and many other faiths, are the same things seen in different ways.

Or don't you know how old Christ is.
