Hello, Cooper.
The thing is, Colonial Americans could dowse too.
And if the buildings were made by medieval Europeans, why are there basically no medieval artefacts turning up at the sites? Why don't we see stone crosses or engravings of crosses by the supposed monks? Why not an Irish grave that we can DNA test?
