Just been sent this ... Mark must indeed have cahonies the size of footballs.. I take my hat off to him...
I would now like to suggest that although there is no evidence for spacemen building stonehenge, it is the only option... that it is no coincidence that most kings in England have names that begin with E or R or H.. which clearly points to a secret.. as when you put the letters together .. it is an anagram of HER (Historic Environment Record!) spooky!
I have to say that my trousers are based on an ancient design from the steppes - and here I am in Scotland, wearing a form of costume that comes from far away.. coincidence again? I think not..
Go figure... I am in Scotland, I wear trousers (when I am not in my kilt) and I was involved with an HER.. I also have a strange sword shaped vegtable in my garden.....
I wish that Mark would just admit that the archaeology is just a laugh... please please don't pretend that we are all too stoooopid
to use our imaginations... and again...
come on mark... give us a laugh.... admit its an april fools
"I don't have an archaeological imagination.."

Quote:quote:a) Tacitus and Cassio Dio give completely different accounts of the death of Boudicca - so if one is wrong, why cant both be?
b) Everyone seems to have not noticed the extraordinary coincidence
of the Boudicca revolt, the start of the construction of the roman
baths and the great fire of rome all took place within 2 years.
surely they were connected in some way?
c) now the romans used Saltpeter to preserve meat - surely this
great civilisation would have been clever enough to realise that when
mixed with a little carbon it also exploded.... i know that Greek
fire is only attested in the 7th century - but classical sources are
so unreliable, and we are archaeologists after all...
d) and how to you explain the 'grenade' that is on display in the
Roman bath museum - and which we copied shamelessly in plastic, as
they would not let us blow up the original.
And so is it so implausible at all - shame on us as archaeologists,
we just dont use our archaeological imagination......
