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

A new species of cattle (Bos buiaensis) has been discovered at a site in Eritrea that also contains early human remains. “This means that the humans have been eating Bos since the beginnings of the genus Homo,” said paleontologist Bienvenido Martinez-Navarro of the Universitat Rovira I Virgili in Spain. Santa Lucia de Acuera was a remote [...]Monday, February 8
Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism Organization announced that it has cut ties with the British Museum over the Cyrus Cylinder. The British Museum had promised to loan the cylinder, said to be the world’s earliest charter of human rights, to the National Museum in Tehran, but delayed sending it when political protests erupted last [...]Friday, February 5
A new survey of Stonehenge suggests that the monument was surrounded by two circular hedges 4,000 years ago. There may also have been a shallow mound within the circle of stones. Five crates of whisky and brandy have been retrieved from the Antarctic by a team from New Zealand. The drinks had been left 100 years [...]Thursday, February 4
Genetic tests indicate that a 2,000-year-old skeleton unearthed in eastern Mongolia was a man of European or western Asian descent. “We don’t know if this 60- to 70-year-old man reached Mongolia on his own or if his family had already lived there for many generations,” said DNA analyst Charles Brenner. Scientists will open the grave of [...]Wednesday, February 3
Eighteenth-century letters discovered in the British Library suggest that a man-made mound in southwest England was once topped with a 40-foot-tall pole. “This is important, lost information dug out of the library, rather than through field work,” said David Dawson, director of the Wiltshire Heritage Museum. An adobe perimeter wall at Peru’s Chan Chan archaeological complex [...]Tuesday, February 2
Turkeys were domesticated by both the pre-Aztec people in south-central Mexico and the Ancestral Puebloans on the Colorado Plateau, according to studies by Camilla Speller and Dongya Yang of Washington State University. The birds were initially kept for their feathers, and only became an important food source for the Ancestral Puebloans around 1100 A.D. A Utah [...]Monday, February 1
Three Neanderthal teeth have reportedly been discovered in a cave in Poland, along with stone and bone tools and the bones of woolly mammoths and woolly rhinoceros. Machu Picchu will be closed until the railway and roads can be repaired after massive flood damage. The last of the stranded tourists were flown out by helicopter late [...]Friday, January 29
A group of Italian scientists wants to exhume the remains said to belong to Leonardo da Vinci and try to reconstruct his face from his skull. “If the remains are well kept, they are a biological archive that registers events in a person’s life, and sometimes in their death,” said anthropologist Giorgio Gruppioni. Some researchers [...]Thursday, January 28
Helicopter rescues of 1,500 tourists stranded at Machu Picchu were suspended yesterday because of the continuing heavy rains. Flooding and landslides have killed eight people, and 6,000 have been left homeless in the region around Cuzco. Looters used bulldozers to destroy more than ten Han-Dynasty tombs in China’s east Jiangsu Province. Scholars know that much about [...]Wednesday, January 27
David Martin lost his life earlier this month when his pleasure craft struck a Civil War-era vessel that lies just beneath the surface of the Navidad River in Texas. The Confederacy sank the ironclad steamship in order to hinder Union boats on the river. The Mary Summers, which is listed on the National Register of [...]Latest Activity

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. To avoid possible arguements, I must admit that it is not the fact of Votan's probable existance, but Votan himself as a character that really interests me. So, are there any translations of that text into English on the Internet?
