Apologies to those that have already read this commentary on Atlantis Destroyed, but hopefully not all have: Of all the books I've read on Atlantis, the most impressive (and the one with the most archaeological evidence) is Rodney Castleden's Atlantis Destroyed, published in 1998 by Routledge.

It's also reported here: I won't go into everything the site says about dating, but it does say: " Roman authors wrote about showers of stones falling from the sky and terrifying the populace. In 205 b.c., because of these events, the Senate ordered that a conical meteorite known as the Needle of Cybele (which had been worshipped in Asia Minor in connection with the fertiliby DougWeller - Ancient History
Hi Steve, Two things. I don't think it is correct to speak of the Celts of pre-Roman Briton. It is more useful and accurate to either refer to the Celtic speaking peoples of pre-Roman Britain, or the pre-Roman Britains. And the only source I can find right now on the web for your 'Welsh foot' says "There was a pre-Roman unit used by the Celts (the Welsh foot) of about 9by DougWeller - Ancient History

Wood henges? Henges are ditch and bank earthworks (circular banked enclosures with an interior ditch). The name 'Stone Henge' confuses people. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Pete Clarke will know more about this (and Damian, and others) but I think you will find that some of the standing stone monuments, eg stone circles, take over from wooden ones. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
The Romans didn't invent roads, but they certainly didn't just use old roads and they did develop a lot of innovations on roadbuilding and a huge new road network all over Europe. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
The article says "Quoted by the Mexican newspaper Milenio, team leader Paulina Zelintzky, a Russian archaeologist," Her name is Zelitsky, she is a marine engineer, and she and her firm are Canadian (I guess she might have been born in Russia). Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

They wouldn't have been Roman sentry posts then. Possibly toll booths (not Roman of course)? Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

That website is nutso. I don't know about the early UNESCO document, but I do know it is obsolete and has been replaced by a much larger work with I think the same title. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

The term PC is a clearly political one and is almost always used politically, and we don't allow politics to be discussed, so I must ask people to stop using it. If anyone doubts that it is political, take a look at and Doug Weller, moderatorby DougWeller - Ancient History
""Races or Clines? Lieberman, Leonard and Rice, Patricia. 1996.

Alex, you haven't responded to Pete Clarke. I haven't seen you discuss clines either. Have I also missed a scientific definition of race from you? Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

Hi Mercury, Here is what GV wrote to me:"The folded sedimentary layers should be riddled with radial tension cracks, and yet, none are found. He cites faults, fractures, and plastic flows, but not radial tension cracks. Many of the folded sedimentary layers that should have tension cracks do not show evidence of plastic flow (elongated grains), therefore, the absence of tension cracks iby DougWeller - Ancient History

I think it is lichen growth rather than carbon dating of lichen that is normally used. Lichen can grow for around a thousand years I believe. Of course, the existence of lichen suggests plenty of moisture, and the condition of the hierglyphs is, I understand, much better than you'd expect after thousands of years of moist conditions!
