| 605778 | 2007-10-27 06:40:00 | Is this a hoax? :confused: I was told about this years ago by a mate that doesn’t get too excited about things of this nature. At the time I shrugged my shoulders and thought I’d hear more about it if there was something of significance. I’ve heard nothing, but I’m curious did the Government actually suppress information on the find for 60 years, or do I chuck it in the same bin as Global Warming? :D www.celticnz.co.nz |

Exactly Terry, if you believe everything you’re told these days you’ll be up the garden path before you know it. One wonders if, or why, a Government would classify such a find anyway? They usually make a big fuss out of finding an old Midden so I figure if there was anything here of significance we’d still be hearing about it. :D |

| 605781 | 2007-10-27 18:38:00 | As a Yank I don't really know what I am seeing on that link . . . . Is there some sort of pre-Maori debate going on or perhaps someone trying to debunk a myth that there ever was such a pre-group at all? The walls look amazingly like the walls in New England . . particularly Connecticut, where I spent many hours outdoors seeing and tracing the walls that were built there . They went for what seemed miles and crossed over each other . There were mounds too . . . but we were always told they were Indian burial mounds . Not really sure what this is supposed to be in the stream of the histories of NZ . |

| 605785 | 2007-10-27 21:13:00 | Hmm, I can't find anything in the few F&B mags I have left after a clear out, but there was quite a bit on TV and in the papers a few years ago debunking the Crazy Celts and their megalithic mania. Google threw up these two articles: www.skeptics.org.nz www.doc.govt.nz Just for the Crazy Celts a tune by Frankie Trumbauer Crazy Quilt (ns36912.ovh.net) |

| 605786 | 2007-10-28 00:02:00 | Yes some of these Celt theories beat me. I mean they refer to equilateral triangles with no sides equal and so on. But did you hear about them inventing one of the first chronometers, well to them it was a chronometer? Along with their geometry and trigonometry it may explain why they’re still going around in circles. ;) Anyway, the story goes that when King Alexander of Scotland was waging war on all and sundry it chanced that he received a slight spear-wound on his left wrist. Wrapping an old cloth around it, he continued the battle. After victory was his, one of his aides noticed that the dried blood on the rag around Alexander’s wrist, under the heat of the sun changed colours every hour, thus providing an estimate of the correct time. According to most historians, from that day on, Celt Soldiers wore cloth treated with blood on their left forearms when going into battle, thus, providing, Alexander's troops with the world's first wrist watches. ... And so they called it……, "Alexander's Rag Timeband!" Sorry. :blush: |
