Quote:I wish more 'cranks', 'free-thinkers', pseudo-archaeologists, hobbyists, or just interested non-archaeologists posted on this forum to liven up the debate.
And would 'we' remain polite and discuss each one as a valid proposition? and keep doing that after the 9th one?
I speak from experience. I agree there is nothing wrong with listening and nodding. It is just the constant wearing down.
Anyway... to set you off... try this one. I would be intersted in how people would answer this one. Do they have a point? Should I reply? WHat do you say. ? and more importantly can you spend the time ( 3 or four times a week) to research enough about it to show why they are wrong..
as a test. see how long it takes you to put together a convincing case that shows both why this is most likely wrong ( my opinion only - you may disagree) AND how better they could carry out the research with the sure and certain knowledge that they will ignore what you say anyway, given they have already created a book/website/life based on the original theory they ask you to look at - but they really mean is you have to agree with them or be seen as one of "those" academic orthodox blinkered muppets ( my fave insult that I have recioeved. )
So... this person has not had a reply. Lets see how much patience you have
Looks intersting to start with.... now read onQuote:Hello, and thank you for sharing so much fascinating information on Past Horizons. I have been collecting information that links megalithic sites and ancient trade routes. I believe these sites served utilitarian purposes including, but not limited to, navigation, safe corridors for the transportation of goods and people, housing and storage in a time of archery warfare. Their form and placement i suggest have more to do with commerce than simply ceremony and this is why their popularity spread across a vast span of space and time. Like agriculture and pottery the arts of commerce and war were becoming more sophisticated.
