Maybe EP is never going to concede that his definition is demonstrably wrong , i.e. ignoring the multiple links to the correct definition , and accepted by those who know about the subject , whilst never providing anything that supports his definitions . There is so much more wrong than simply getti...

I thought that the likes of Kalopin and Skiessa had problems .
Nothing compared to what we are seeing now .

Hi simon - The circular earthworks here in Ohio, where Whitehawk taught the constellations at the fall bred dance, are certainly not "henges". If that word is used it is only going to end up with some very confused nuts trying to construct imaginary Celtic empires here. Now perhaps tiompa...

Totem is based on an Algonquin word ,now used world wide .
Taboo is based on a Fijian word , now used world wide .

There was no discussion . Years ago I politely pointed out the error of EP'S definition of henge . He continued to use definitions that are obviously wrong became abusive and refused to accept the evidence highlighting the error . I should have just left him to his error , foolishly I didn't . But h...

Yes, this does belong in the Old World area. But be aware that the thread suggested is full of "my references are better than your references" tripe. But, I do agree, "welcome to the party." Could you give us examples of the two opposing references ? I'm only aware of one side p...

[ Nothing wrong with conjecture , who said there was ? In this case ,prehistoric totem poles , you can only shrug your shoulders and say maybe for either side of the argument . "It has long been suggested that the timbers in timber circles may have had carved totems but there is no evidence for...

You haven't given me multiple examples of henges . You mention sites that you call henges based on your definition . You never provide any detail from from any archaeological reports from these sites either . Circuli and circuluses are not recognised monument types . There are a huge number of prehi...

[ Show me what you describe as a prehistoric American henge , and if it fits the definition I'll agree, but bear in mind timber or stone components or putative alignments do not a henge make . The timber circle at Kilmartin was not a henge , that was clarified earlier . We couldn't possibly know whe...

EP .Note the description of the timber circle in Kilmartin ,i.e. not a wood henge . It has long been suggested that the timbers in timber circles may have had carved totems but there is no evidence for them at any site , so just conjecture . There is a henge ,at Ballymeanoch , no associated stone or...

Yes I can understand that it doesn't make any sense to you . Most people recognise the nuts and just stop interacting with them , I tend not to , expecting that reasonable logical argument , involving evidence will win out over nonsense . Eventually it clicks ,I should behave like those who just ign...

You are pretty disturbed . You ignore entirely anything that is said , you make up fantasy stuff and never back it up . Quite simply , if I admitted that I lied ,where and when did that take place ? , do tell . The fact that you won't be able to do so shows that it is actually you that is lying , ca...

Not to too many these days , that went the way of the Scythian connection .

And yet another post full of abuse and no actual content . If you can't understand it , then I am not surprised, given your logic . If someone convicts themsleves with their own words , why can't you quote the words and prove how they might be convicting themselves ? Odd , how by using quotes I have...

"Of course an obvious answer here is that you do not beleive yourself - you cannot therefore be trusted to report on yourself honestly " It makes perfect sense that you should think that is an obvious answer . Twisted , illogical and right up your fantasy alley , a wishful view of others c...
