Informed Speculation
One of the things about the subject of archaeology is the degree of wild fantastical speculation on the part of the public, and so called "experts". While we have differing views, archaeologist seek the truth from the evidence. The recent movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (which I refused to be a consultant on) is the perfect example of ignoring the fact, in favor of pure fantasy (see my review on Archaeology At The Movie… Continue

The strange story of Votan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Votan ?
For me this story is not new, but I have never read the original source - the fragment of that book by Francisco Núñez de la Vega. However, now I feel that I'd better read it.
