 		These videos are, to say the least, very distubing.

Anyone have a clue who/what AV is?

In Windows Media Player the clip's title appears Our birth is nothing but our death begun...

Hmmm....given what SpaceBass offered by A.C.Grayling coupled with what was offered in the e-mails that Aurelius was wrong about death seems to imply that our mysterious Puppetmaster believes that there indeed is a past and a future or more to life than just the present...

Isn't that refreshing...

Given the clips title I'd say we have some slant towards reincarnation or life after death theme...

Also, in the dim recesses of my mind I seem to remember that A.V. in Latin actually stood for A.D. in English which would mean Anno Domini or "The Year of our Lord"?

Waddya think?

 		V = U in Ancient Latin, so A.V could mean A.U which is short for Alternate Universe. Razz

 		"Our birth is nothing but our death begun" is quoted from Bishop Hall

Death borders upon our birth,
and our cradle stands in the grave.
Our birth is nothing but our death begun.
- Bishop Hall

 		the second and the fourth woodcuttings i think are about the Beane family in England, famous inbred cannibal family, very feared. It seems i saw them in a book about cannibalism i read?

Tossing spec around, then, AU is also medical shorthand derived from Latin meaning "both ears."

Cannibal Holocaust came out in 1980. Not sure what that site's about though.

 		well these were probably made in the middle ages for sure, and also i saw a couple of the wood carvings with images of the devil which means temptation.
