Restoration of the Commemorative Welsh Prince Madog Plaque to Mobile Bay
SunkenCiv and I signed it a couple years ago. This is not far from my house.
Alabama ping of interest!
I’m of Welsh heritage....dammit! My maiden name! American Indian, Irish, British, and Chinese too! Should keep the ACORN Census robots busy @ the door! LOL!
YES! Prince Madoc preceded Columbus. He deserves the recognition. I’ll go to my grave believing that.
I realize that ocean currents and weather were a fairly serious obstacle in crossing the Atlantic. But even so, do the so-called experts ever grab a globe and realize that there are several places where crossing the Atlantic is shorter than going from Israel to Gilbraltar in the Mediterranean?
Especially the North Atlantic. Even more so if you factor in islands like the Azores and the Carribean islands? I mention the Med because it’s been crossed by ships for thousands of years. Why couldn’t have someone made it here earlier than the Vikings?
People should be able to put a monument saying the Martians landed if they want and are willing to pay for it with their own money. If they want to believe it, you have a constitutional right to believe whatever you want, regardless of how idiotic.
Sorry, but Bjarni Hergelfson discovered North America several years before even Leif Erikson was credited for it. And Leif Erikson was credited with it back in the year 1001 AD.
