How absolutely facinating! I would love to be an archaeologist. Here are some links if you're interested. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/dorset/8563719.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/dorset/8563377.stm

I'd rather dig up my dead people through genealogy - at least that is what my husband says I am doing! |

But I do like the subject of archealogy..I'm always buying books on the subject...trying to understand it. So many of the those magaines have gone out of circulation also. Book I currently have before me deals with different types of symbols through time...especally Solomon's Key. This particualr one covers in brief each one of the secret societies through time also. I'd rather turn over our scared places to archealogists that will painstakingly research and take care of them then "looters". We can not preserve soemthing of antiquity once itsbeen ruined by others...rather its an temple, and livinging tree or an piece of pottery of some kind. Those whom do not cherish their past history...seldom enjoy making it wothwhile these days also. |
