catfish Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 thanks for posting @@Hughie Green. i love our history the man presenting gives us a clue what history is about in this country . he says "it gives me the freedom to offer some contentious ideas without getting the sack". i think this statement is telling and backs up what ive said about historic academia in this counrty . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdog Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Nice one Hughie, i was aware that Julian had written a book or two on this subject but never followed it up, just watched some of the first vid and looks very interesting, will spend some time watching the rest when I have more time, got to cut a tree down outside now, not very fitting with this subject but it`s messing with my foundations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyJazzJesus Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 i started watching this series a few weeks back and it's really fucking cool to get a perspective without all the bollocks of something having to be sellable, interesting stuff, i love knowing this kind of thing, a life that is seemingly quite peaceful, a rapture of nature, humans being the king of there environment and revering there minds in alot of ways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Luchóg Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) ''PI'' in the sky .That's a book I think you'll be interested in Hughie . Or look at Ireland for a few hours on google earth ,you'll see thousands of ring forts and the place names are indicative of forts ,landscape of course and even churches/tombs/thimpeall/round(s)/temples .Birr or correcly spelled Biorra ,means navel and it's dead centre of the country . There's a lot of sites similar to ''Newgrange'',but that's made public . Thousands of them actually ,25'000 or so . A few months ago I saw a dolmen in a fort .Only for I was told it was there I wouldn't have known ,and not many people are aware of their surrounds .The dolmen was surrounded in briars and scrub ! I also found three stone circles adjoined ,and I reckon the represent an eclipse ,and only sheep see them ! Anyway ,I can rant all day about ring forts ,s'pi'/ra/ll or spirals . I stop up to them regularly and you get an eye for them . Up until the anglo Normans people respected forts ,tehre was no Christian churches ,or Norman keeps .Well people certainly understood their surrounds before the 1840's ,naturally there was twice the population and a stronger culture ,no hedgerows ,thereafter more lands were stolen ,standing stones and forts removed ,and farmers still remove ancient sites . Sometimes when a tomb collapses it's kept quiet and covered in .They don;'t want archaeologists digging and the church don't want folks meddling with the púca !

Cambium Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 got to cut a tree down outside now, not very fitting with this subject but it`s messing with my foundations It could be suggested that it is entirely fitting. That time period is the beginning of us influencing the treescape of the UK on a large scale. They would have been furiously cutting down trees. What was there first, your tree, or your house? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough it`s just a poorly looking fir anyway, the trunks are 5-6 inches in diameter so not sure how long it`s been there but I don`t think it`s as old as the flats, they are about 36 yo E2a, judging by the rings it`s 17 yo it`s in a poor position, 3 feet from the building and raised 4 feet from the ground level, it`s cracking brick wall surrounding it`s roots and moving the path, I was advised by a surveyor to remove it Edited October 19, 2014 by ratdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
