Found this:

An Introduction to Celtic History

*************************************************

Seemed like a nice quick tutorial....but I know little about the Celts.

[SunkenCiv]

They spend more time than most tossing the caber, if you know what I mean. ;')

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well, i didn't but ,...thanks to Google:

tossing the caber

***********************************

The caber is a pole about 18 feet long weighing about 115 pounds. The athlete holds the caber upright, grasping it by its thin end, and throws it so that it lands on its heavy end and flips over. The throw is not judged on distance, but direction. If the thrower is imagined to stand at the center of a clock with 6 at his back, the thin end ideally falls at a 12 o'clock position.

"about 18 feet long weighing about 115 pounds"

Which explains why this isn't in the Olympics next to the hackysack competition or the hatchet throw. ;')

The great moose caper caber has been solved--rimshot.

Unreal!

You also see that thing with the round stones and, as I'd heard it, they are graded by weight and nobody in Scotland had ever gotten the heaviest one off the ground a single inch. And then Bill Kazmaier just walked up to the thing and picked it up:

[Alas Babylon!]

Uhmmmm.... This doesn't sound like legitimate science to me. Did this person just make things up?

The Aryan-vej which they took over is not to be confused with the otherworldly home of the Aria, feathered Creatures of Light who rule over reptilian servants, for obviously the Aria are the Heavenly Host.

I'm was going to ask for his sources, but this sounds like it's straight out of the Church of Scientology. Maybe his source is L. Ron Hubbard?

[Renfield]

THis fellow doesn't cite any sources, and his writing seems speculative (at best) to me. Who is the author, and what are his qualifications?

[WoofDog123]

i was wondering the same thing. there is far too much detailed political information which afaik simply does not exist for this time frame in this part of the world. he states as fact things which we only have the archeological record to go by.

reads more like historical fiction at best.

Actually it reads more like Mormon influenced thought.

If it were scientologist there would have been a mention of Xenu and volcanos and thetans and stuff like that. After all, we are really just extraterrestrials who've been trapped here and we get programmed (implanted?) between each life to keep us under control on this planet. < /scientologist delusion mode>

Did this person just make things up?

from the article: "I believe that the Celts of central Europe moved south and west because they had no intention of fighting someone else's war."

Well, he certainly made this one up.

[wyattearp]

A tidal wave shortly before 3000 B.C. desertified the north African plain...

Say what?

[struwwelpeter]

I recently helped a doctoral candidate in Kazakhstan translate her thesis on Kazakhstani myths and ehtology into English. No Celt connection whatsoever in her data. I did meet one Scot oil worker in Almaty once, however.


If the Kazakhi steppe can be referred to as a 'sea of grass', than New Mexico is a verdant pasture.

[struwwelpeter]

The resemblance between Celts and Kazakhs is remarkable!
