We visited a cairn in Brittany, very mysterious. I am sending him this link. Thanks for the wonderful article which brought back the mystery of it all!

I recently read Neil Oliver's History of Ancient Britain, after seeing the TV programmes, and it was really fascinating to think of these people living so long ago, travelling so far and building these marvellous monuments, and being so closely in touch with the sea and seasons and movements of the stars, and yet unable - so far as we know - to write or give us any written record of how they actually felt or thought -which you are trying to do. The best of luck - I'm off to check out your book!Tim Vicaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940108791501892075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-52666340765177089302012-11-22T10:26:30.275-08:002012-11-22T10:26:30.275-08:00Excellent post Mark.

I find the whole history fascinating.

A lot of people ...Christy, you won't regret it. A lot of people don't realise how fascinating the British neolithic and later bronze age can be. You get lots of articles and tv shows talking about 'mysterious ' Stonehenge and putting in all sorts of nonsense such as aliens or Atlanteans, but the truth is far more interesting! And always remember too, of course, that most people of British ancestry will have some descent from these people too...they are our direct ancestors as much as the more commonly talked about Saxons, Vikings, Normans etc!StoneLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338820506795034334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-66568168697920739032012-11-21T05:30:32.459-08:002012-11-21T05:30:32.459-08:00Apologies for the lack of pictures - some gremlins...Apologies for the lack of pictures - some gremlins seem to have got into the system!Mark Pattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621801968983662236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-72833542327288334422012-11-21T01:21:17.625-08:002012-11-21T01:21:17.625-08:00Mark, this is amazing...thank you so much for this...Mark, this is amazing...thank you so much for this fabulous post.
