[edit] Monotheistic Conii taught writing to the Romans!
I removed this: "Some researchers, who claim they have decoded the Conii writing system, believe that these influenced the Romans in their writing and language." and this: "Apparently, before the arrival of the Romans, the Conii were monotheist. This people allied with the Romans, when these wanted to dominate the Iberian Peninsula. Apparently, the god of the Conii was Elohin, following a translation of a stone that can be found today in Évora Museum, but this name seems to be foreign to their language, and is quit possibly a loan from the Phoenicians-Carthaginians." Such discoveries would make news! It would be rash to judge the monotheism of a people whose writing has not been deciphered. --Wetman 21:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicative map
I moved this map here as it adds no information to the map already at the site, which illustrates the region of the Cynetes in Antiquity, a region that embraced both the Algarve of southern Portugal and the sw of southern Spain. Additionally, this map gives a misleading impression of Cynetes/Conii restricted to the south of Portugal. The border is medieval/modern and is irrelevant and confusing in a discussion of the Cynetes. I have enlarged the map at the article enough so that the city of Conistorga can just be made out. Someone's feelings are likely to be hurt, but have I explained my action pretty well? --Wetman 20:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Celticized
Many claim that the Coniis were celticized. But what does "to celticize" mean? Is it to make one look more like Celts in the cultural sense? the linguistic sense? the ethnic sense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.50.182.112 (talk • contribs)
