Hook, length is ok. Written in neutral tone. Is there a word or phrase missing from the sentence:'They were most likely used for religious'? Religious ceremonies, I assume, reference doesn't support it. yorkshiresky (talk) 11:24, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Changed religious into unknown, as source discusses it but does not specify exactly. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:32, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Change makes it good to go. Nice article. yorkshiresky (talk) 11:57, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

There was an issue while the hook was online which caused it to be removed, new review needed. Makeandtoss (talk) 20:03, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
The hook was on the main page for just shy of 11 hours. There is no justification for it to run again. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:49, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
