Re: Some controversial archaeoastronomy from Colorado by Alun on Saturday, 13 December 2003

This isn’t written from bitchiness but sheer confusion.

Out of many rock faces in America with millions of weathered grooves you can pick out some which may make a few glyphs. The identification of the glyphs is so bad you can’t tell if they’re Oggham or Libyan. Near to it you have something which can, with some effort be matched to one of the many thousands of glyphs known, because it looks like an Egyptian symbol. There’s many hundreds of miles and many hundreds of years between the three cultures which have been pulled together to fit the ‘evidence’. And the message is in a mess of the three.

My question then isn’t whether or not there’s anything in it. It’s ‘What part of this do people find even vaguely convincing?’ If I found some scratches which looked modern Japanese symbols in one of the many prehistoric tombs in the UK, and used them to propose that many of these tombs were built by Honda, would there be really people who’d say ‘Hmm, it sounds a bit far fetched, but there might be something in it.’?

I’d appreciate an answer as it would help me massively with my own writing if I knew what people did find convincing.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
