The History Channel's writers were IN ERROR.<br /><br />- It is a FACT that the Wikingerburgen are not all compass-aligned. The images prove that. The History Channel's writers were IN ERROR.<br /><br />- It is a FACT that Fyrkat was mis-spelled as Frykat. I have shown the evidence for that. It was AN ERROR.<br /><br />- It is a FACT that the show omitted Nonnebakken, the other Trelleborg, and Borgeby. That was AN OMISSION.<br /><br />- It is a FACT that Mike Bara has no training in archaeology. His e-mail address is mikebara33@gmail.com. Please e-mail him for confirmation of that. You might also conform that he has never traveled to Scandinavia.<br /><br />I can assure you that these facts do not scare me in the slightest. My concern is that the cable-tv-viewing public is being misinformed. And not just in this episode, either.expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369924104634464934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-36829203562897094972014-11-30T06:17:34.018-08:002014-11-30T06:17:34.018-08:00Facts!!! be sure your able to back what "YOU&...Facts!!! be sure your able to back what "YOU" consider facts.

As a Spanish Muslim chronicle stated, "...tall as palm trees." <br /><br />To align these sites, a very tall man merely had to stand on top of a tall hill, and use his eyes. <br /><br />The fact that today Denmark is a very flat country can be explained through a gradual wearing down due to the large number of Vikings checking on the alignment. <br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-64383772341722300432014-05-21T06:44:11.054-07:002014-05-21T06:44:11.054-07:00No, I don't think the linearity (very approxim...No, I don't think the linearity (very approximate) of the omitted sites is relevant. My point about flight is that an ability to fly is not what is needed in order to align the wikingerbergen.

And, sure, flight might be speculative, but it's a darned big coincidence if you want to say that's all it is. Don't you think? I can't tell what level of dismissal you're implying, but if it's to the level of "this is clearly nothing," I'd say you need to bring a bit more sense of wonder back into your life.

They used to only deal with fringe stuff in their "History's Mysteries" show. Now it's all Ancient Aliens, UFO Hunters, and Monsterquest. George Noory is on that network almost as often as Ed Herman was.<br /><br />It can hardly be surprising that the writers of a pseudo-science show have fudged the facts to fit the narative. As we've seen with Hoagland, Bara, and the rest, that's standard operating procedure. Truth never gets in the way of a good (and profitable) story.<br /><br />As to why Bara, that should be obvious. They needed a talking head willing to go along with any stupid idea they threw out. I doubt Mike has spent more than a few nanoseconds actually doing research on the subject, as speaking from ignorance is his specialty.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.com
