History Revisited - applying new principles to traditional values "The Mysterious Megaliths of New England" By Paul Tudor Angel (Pathfinder?) Gungywamp near Groton, CT - The Secrets of the Stones Skara Brae Civilization much older than Rome. Mesolithic site with correspondence to the 'mysterious megaliths' of New England. The quahog clam is used to make wampum belts (for treaties and covenants) - it is also considered as the oldest living creature of our fair planet. The voyages of discovery attributed to Ireland's St. Brendan are becoming recognized as both authentic and rooted in the cultural development of the entire Northern Atlantic and Artic oceanic islands; settlements and exploratory voyages.....it would seem all the more fantastic considered that (based upon a wing and prayer) - the brave monks of Clonfert on the Shannon River of western Ireland sailed in boats using hide sails (requiring rigorous tanning)…....like a cork bobbing on the 'bounding main' they circumnavigated the entire region from western Europe even unto Norumbega (modern New England). There is also reason to believe that a much earlier exploration by their 'Druid' ancestors may explain some of the mysteries of the stones and what can be understood as 'the division of the world' by plate tectonics following the universal deluge (Noah's Ark) ------ in that all the Mesoamerican cultures and kingdoms were capable of seafaring voyages - the question of intercultural convergence and assimilation are by the end of this 'Millennial Jubilee Era' is becoming much more poignant as ancient scripts are being translated with Intercultural cooperation and discovery using the power of imagination. Dighton Rock on the Taunton River - Irish Hinge Ogam, a form of Gaelic Keltic writing If 'Ancient Hibernians' and Mesoamerican civilization sites like Okeefenokee in modern Georgia have a common time period (presence) then history itself will need a great deal of rethinking and reevaluating. The Creek Indians have preserved an ancient history that speaks of ONENESS. But a local Puritan clergyman, Cotton Mather, was not convinced. In 1712 he discovered some strange incisions on an exposed seaside rock face in Dighton, Massachusetts - far from where any plough could have marked it. He immediately wrote to the Royal Society in London, England, to inform them of his find and to convey his belief that the rock carvings were in fact an ancient scriptural alphabet - perhaps several differing ancient alphabets. Unexpectedly, his letter generated little interest. The scientists of the Royal Society were already busy exploring newly discovered rock inscriptions in neighbouring Ireland. These European inscriptions were later identified as Irish Hinge Ogam, a form of Gaelic Keltic writing unknown for centuries and stubbornly undecipherable. But there are ancient stone circles in New England as well. Probably the most intriguing archaeological site in Connecticut is located in Groton and is called "Gungywamp," thought to be an ancient Indian name, but actually ancient Gaelic meaning, "Church of the People." Besides containing beehive chambers and petroglyphs, the Gungywamp site has a double circle of stones near its centre, just north of two stone chambers. Two concentric circles of large quarried stones-large slabs laid end to end-are at the centre of the site. Extensive fire burning on some of the slabs is apparent which leads many to believe it was an ancient altar. Nearby there are several large pillar stones and one boulder slab that have been carefully positioned along astronomical site lines. Visiting the Gungywamp site on the afternoon of September 21st, Dave Barron, the head of the Gungywamp Society, saw a sight that he would never forget. He said, "The setting sun had cast a beam of light through the vent shaft at the back of the chamber. This beam of light slowly moved down the east wall and spotlighted into the small beehive crypt near the entrance. This stone-lined tube was designed precisely to permit the Equinoctical sunset to fully penetrate the chamber's dark interior on only two days during the year-March 22nd and September 21. The high density of garnet in the stones magnified the intensity of the sunlight entering the chamber. It certainly acts as a predictable calendar. The Gungywamp site has been carbon dated to 600 A.D."

Did Mesoamerica civilizations 'raid' northward and eastward to build their civilizations? Celestial Navigation - this method is very accurate when the sun and moon are visible......

U.S. Nuclear Marketers Visited Saudi Arabia, As Trade Talks Under Way - Obama administration + civil nuclear trade pact with Saudi Arabia WASHINGTON -- A U.S. nuclear industry delegation traveled to Saudi Arabia in November, as Washington and Riyadh launched negotiations toward sealing a controversial atomic trade agreement, according to government and business officials. An industry official on Wednesday described the Saudi trade mission as “a first-of-a-kind, industryled” trip. It follows a 2012 announcement by the Persian Gulf nation that it intends to build 16 reactors by 2030. “On the nuclear side, that represents an investment of approximately $112 billion that they’re planning to make to bring those plants to reality,” the energy marketing representative said at a Nuclear Energy Institute forum on atomic fuel.

A Moslem army, in a crusading search for land and the end of Christianity, after the conquest of Syria, Egypt, and North Africa, began to invade Western Europe under the leadership of Abd-er Rahman, governor of Spain. Abd-er Rahman led an infantry of 60,000 to 400,000 soldiers across the Western Pyrenees and toward the Loire River, but they were met just outside the city of Tours by Charles Martel, known as the Hammer, and the Frankish Army. http://www.museum-az.com http://ecowatch.com/2014/01/24/worlds-poorest-radioactive-areva-uranium/
