Yeah! Youre right, it can't have been on the coast.. From what I can understand it was 'near' the sea! Apparently, It was abandoned when the temperature plummeted and the fish buggered off! :( Having just read Marduk's interesting piece, I've got a question...Where did the Beaker Folk originate? I ...

Hi Stan, I do my stuff on a PC (and I draw with a mouse!!!) It sounds like you had good resolution on your google images to start with. Do you use the free version, or the 'Professional' one? Our area is in pretty good focus! I really couldn't understand why?...Until I followed the 'In focus rectang...

Hi Stan, I think in this case it's; The higher you fly,The deeper you go. Infra-red, x-ray and radar detecting is the way to go! I'm absolutely intrigued by the thought of being able to produce a 'Google' image of our coast in Roman times.( Sorry to be so parochial, but it really is intriguing!) Doi...

I know what you mean about this Forum!
I hope my clients haven't seen how much time I've spent in here!
There'd be comments about the artwork being antique before they've received it!

Fun though!!

Happy Sunday!

You'd love my novel Digit (he said shamelessly)
"RETRIBUTION.. A Supernatural Tale of Justice" (and a haunted toilet! :shock: )

Er?..Is that to do with my novel?.. The above photographic evidence of the inundated Channel, or both? As a confirmed Solipsist I don't actually BELIEVE anything! However, I'll accept logical facts when they're well presented! When I see a flint beach under a chalk cliff next to the Black Rabbit Pub...

DROWNED COASTLINES

Following our discussion on Ice Age Coastlines...and their possible locations!...... I've at last found a GIS image of the English Channel. It clearly shows the evolution of several gradually expanding river systems. http://apollo5.bournemouth.ac.uk/ehec/ But then I fiddled with the contrast and bri...

Nor...I daresay....would he care! Oh yes he would! It's great chatting with enquiring minds! Let us just hope that they don't have exploding field artillery as the Romans did in the opening scene of Gladiator!

Dragon on and on!!

I've just been reading the fascinating correspondence regarding 'Dragons '. I have a vested interest in 'Dragons' as I researched the things when I created this baddy for my TV series! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h98/LimeyOK/Zordrak.jpg I think there's a bit of truth in all the theories I've r...
