[net.nlang.celts] The state of net.nlang.celt

cromwell@pur-ee.UUCP (Cromwell) (12/05/84)

Hey, where is the discussion of speaking the Celtic language,
reading runes, or constructing megalithic solar observatories
like the Celts REALLY did???  I, for one, would be interested
in such topics.  Or is this just net.english.flame??  Why aren't
political matters confined to net.politics, and flames to net.flame??


I just finished reading a book entitled "Megalithic Solar
Observatories", which mainly involved the use of natural
formations (ridges, passes, etc) in conjunction with stone
foresights.  The sites surveyed were scattered throughout
England, northern Wales, and Scotland.  Do any of you know
of any such sites in the U.S.?  (not counting completely
constructed sights, such as the roofs of Hopi kivas)  Have
you by chance built any yourself?  If so, how did you find
the site?

Thanks.

Regarding the supposed "link" between megalithic structures and
so called "spiritualism" etc, etc, I would like to say that my
interest in the structures involves a pure disbelief of all such
rubbish.  Spirits?  HAH!  My curiosity involved the astronomical
knowledge and the structural abilities required of the people
responsible, not the rantings and ravings of people who dabble
in the occult.  Send that to net.nat.enquirer.

Once again, is there anyone out there anywhere interested in
matters that REALLY belong in net.nlang.celt, or is it really
net.politics.irish???
