A lot of sniffing going on back then, and fact is often stranger than fiction. How many professionals have had their reputation ruined by those that think they know better? The arrogance in academia is astounding and for enlightened people they are not prepared to open their minds up very far.
The ancient Egyptians were also in Australia, We have cave art in Gosford, NSW showing this fact. I believe that Catholic church were part of the reason we have suppressed ancient history as they put out the theory of falling off the end of the earth, (they weren't the only ones that believed this though) to stop man sailing towards the Americas. They definitely knew more than they let on. Yet why did it take up to the 1990's for the news of the Vikings in the Americas and the ancient Celts of Ireland mixing and intermarriage with native Americans with native Americans supposedly speaking a form of Gaelic.

Another great find from ancient times, there is still so much more to discover from our ancient past. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
I hope this inspires people to read Irish mythology and folklore. There is so much to learn and enjoy in ancient mythology of the ancient Celts. A good book to read is written by Charles Squire called mythology of ancient Britain and Ireland. Which is available in kindle, hardcover or paperback on Amazon. I bought the paperback version back in the 1990’s and have the kindle version too.
Interesting news article, I love historical stuff but adding scientific research such as DNA tracing makes it more interesting too. That is living history and connects people to their ancestors. Let's hope more information comes out, people will be able to trace their linages much further.
How awesome would it be to actually be able to go to see this tapestry? I recall being a small child at school being taught about the Bayeux tapestry back in the early 1970’s and not having anything other than a picture in a text book to look at as we learned about medieval history in my Scottish primary school.
Now here the tapestry is on British soil for the first time in a thousand years, that is incredible and such a historic moment. A twelve month exhibition is quite generous and for such a valuable piece of history too. It must have been such a surreal experience for all the ordinary people that were able to take part in the process and get to see this tapestry up close. A great piece of family history to tell their loved ones about and pass down the family line in the future.
Just imagine what a sight this would have been back in its day. Architecture that surpasses modern architecture in multiple ways, not to mention the wealth of the people who were the elite back then.
It must be awesome to be a diver exploring the ancient structures under water for centuries. Such a surreal feeling.

Excellent find, sad that in the past no care was given to archeological sites. Losing significant amounts of history by just building over things or destroying them.
This is a place that I have wanted to visit for many year's Cowra is 2 and a half hours north of Canberra and is a very famous historical town on the Lachlan river. There is a cafe for refreshments in the garden which will be greatly appreciated after a long drive to get there. Oh, and by the way, it’s doggie friendly as long as your fur babies are on a leash.

This is a must visit for anyone coming from overseas or even interstate who has a love of gardens and history. Back in world war 2 there was a Japanese prisoner of war camp near here, where the infamous Cowra breakout occurred on 5th August 1944. The original sight is still there along with the graveyard.
This was the largest POW prison breakout in world war 2 according to the Wikipedia article. With 1,104 soldiers breaching the wire fence. The link below informs us of the events that took place, and cemented this in Australian history ever since.

I recall watching the tv mini series of this, it was such a sad story, and terrible time in human history.
The Japanese garden is a place to reflect and heal the past, in 5 hectares of park land, in which the Japanese government also helps to preserve. This is absolutely a must see beautiful garden design by the famous Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajima.
This is the Wikipedia entry for the town of Cowra for up to date information on the town of Cowra, NSW.

You can see some beautiful photos of the Japanese garden on Instagram and facebook. But nothing beats seeing the garden in person.
Interesting news article, and for the first time in a thousand years the Bayeux tapestry will be seen in England. How exciting for the people that get to see this in the museum, this would be fantastic to see.

A wealth of information will be gleaned from this; and weather patterns will match astrological observations that a good astrologer can explain.
What a find, I intuitively felt that this was on the East coast of Scotland before I read the article. There was a paywall on the original post, so I googled the subject and found this article.
I’ll love ancient history of the UK as there is an incredible amount of history on such a small island. Plus it’s my homeland.
Easter Island has been a source of fascination since its discovery and with modern technology such as aerial photography and drones we get to see a bigger feel of the landscape and layout of the statues and quarries. An outdoor time capsule unravaged by time and the elements.
This is an interesting book about Charles Weston, the man famous for planting my city. Born in England in 1866. He learned his trade in prestigious horticultural places in England and then came to Australia, firmly setting his place in Australian history. As a gardener, living in Canberra with a love not just of Canberra, but history also, I came across this book recently through a facebook post by the Australian National Library. I promptly placed an order with an online bookstore and I am currently reading this book.
One can feel the history come to life just reading this book, it helps if one is a local who is interested in our history. The author is originally from Queensland but resides in Canberra, so this gives him a personal feel to his book.
Canberra has a very brief history, yet is important in the history of Australia. This book shows the personalities of those involved in the early planning and their vision of what the city was to become, albeit with some detours along the way. If you are a person that may be interested in Canberra's history this book is a must have to add to your collection. If you are a new resident then this book will provide an interesting background to your current lifestyle.
Canberra is actually a small city with a population of roughly 500 thousand of a population. We are known as the bush capital. and have a deep affection for our town. We have a love of our wildlife and our beautiful scenery and are keen to protect our heritage.
What an incredible feat over many centuries, and there is still more work ahead.
I wonder what the exchange rate was back then (just joking). The rainbow and the crock of gold myth with the shape of the coin comes to mind.

How amazing to be able to bring all the artefacts together after so long. It must be a surreal experience to see all of this.
The site was prone to flooding, so why build there? They would have known that back then as they were intelligent people. But 4 thousand years later and the structure still stands, I doubt if anything modern would survive a hundred years.
Happy International cat day to all the beautiful cats in the world, I love you so much ❤️
