: This leads to certain speculation: even

: However, we know well that throughout

: old were relatively often monarchs (though
: not all the time), and thus sacerdotal
: performers. Indeed, the abdication custom of
: many many centuries seems to have preferred
: very underage monarchs.

: It may be that this line of speculation is
: mistaken, and the rite of fertility in
: question here, does not require at least
: puberty. But on the other hand, knowing
: something about ancient rites of
: agriculturalist populations, it very well
: may be just such acts.

: If, however, the acts of fertility in
: question do not require at least puberty-age
: maturity of males, then what could be such a
: nature of fertility act which excludes
: females?
