Amazing how early Christianity took hold on those islands. Kind of ironic when you contemplate this history that the lead church in the Catholic world is in Rome.

[Tzimisce]

Cool.

"The team say tthe discovery of Caer Caradoc, a pre-Roman British city is a severe embarrassment to academics who take no notice of Welsh records."

Why do academics ignore Welsh records?

TIM:
To the north there lies a cave-- the cave of Caerbannog-- wherein, carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Olfin Bedwere of Rheged...
[boom]
...make plain the last resting place of the most Holy Grail.
ARTHUR:
Where could we find this cave, O Tim?
TIM:
Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

What a strange, partisan sort of article.

[VRWCer]

This is really an interesting find! I hope that in future we get to hear the further developments. Its exciting! (Especially being a Catholic, as this relates to or touches on the earliest heritage of our Church.)

Now if archeologists in Wales could just find all those missing vowels ...

And now, a small team of dedicated researchers working with historians Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett, have been able to pinpoint the location of this site. "It is great news for the local, regional and national economy,"

If uncovering a historic site makes a difference to the national economy, Wales must must be at an economic standstill.

[LexBaird]

Ping. You might find this interesting.

The church is similarly ancient, dating to the 1st Century AD as shown in the 1990 dig at the site.

If that church dates to the 1st Century AD, then it was not originally a Christian church. It dates hundreds of years before the very first Christians showed up in those lands.

"It is great news for the local, regional and national economy," said Alan Wilson today. "We have been making these discoveries for many years and with the Electrum Cross discovered at nearby St. Peter's in 1990, it looks like a boost for jobs is likely."

Is this guy a historian or a marketing manager?
