Re: Ancient sky map or fake? German experts row over star disc by Anonymous on Wednesday, 02 March 2005

I have had a nagging doubt ever since it was found. The context of it's finding seemed suspicious and archaeoastronomy IS becoming flavour of the month, especially now that flying saucers are becoming less important to the unquestioning community.(Notice how Unidentified Flying Objects are usually seen by people who see UFOs !)

It would be a spectacular astronomical artifact if genuine but unfortunately our firm knowledge of 'Bronze Age' archaeoastronomy is currently limited to Babylon and Egypt. European astronomical ancient history is tenuous at best and is apparently limited to monument alignments. Even the so-called Nowlth moon map is stretching the imagination a lot.

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