With people a little distracted by the issue I'm not going to mention today this little news story got missed. It's one of those "World of the Weird" moments but always of interest.
"For it is related in our records how once upon a time your State stayed the course of a mighty host, .....and it was possible for travelers of that time to cross from it (from Atlantis) to the other islands and from the islands to the whole of the continent over against them which encompasses the veritable (Atlantic) ocean ..." – PlatoAncient Origins reports:
Scientists at Merlin Burrows are celebrating having discovered the most important archaeological finding of all time, exactly where Plato said it was, “in front of “the pillars of Heracles.” According to a report in The Daily Mail , Atlantis, is located “north of the city of Cadiz, Andalucía, centered around the Doñana National Park,” which the Merlin Burrows historians “believe was once a vast inland sea.”
Even though a Live Science feature in February applied clear scientific logic to establish that “Plato’s lost city of Atlantis was never lost; it is where it always was: in Plato's books,” using satellite investigation techniques, aerial photography and ground observations, the Merlin Burrows experts believe they have “found all the features of Atlantis Plato described“ and that “that south and north of the park there is further evidence of the ancient civilization, with 15 other settlements dotted along the coastline.” What is more, they have found evidence that the city was destroyed by a tsunami, again, just like Plato said happened to Atlantis.
You never know though. Aquaman was unavailable for comment.
Militant Tendency Oppose Irish Flag being flown.....in Dublin
There are times when what people say beggars belief as in the case of Matthew Waine a member of the Socialist Party in Ireland, an international offshoot of Britain's Militant Tendency.
The Dublin Gazette reports:
A FINGAL councillor has warned against flying the Irish flag outside County Hall for fear of offending non-nationals living here.
Blanchardstown-based Cllr Matthew Waine opposed a motion proposed by Cllr Daire Ni Laoi (SF) to hoist the Tricolour at the council’s HQ in Swords.
The Solidarity Party public representative was one of just two who voted against it, suggesting that the red flag of Marxism and Socialism should be flown instead.
He said: “We have one of the most multi-cultural populations in the whole country living in Fingal, and I think we need to consider the sensitivity of this.
The capital of a country being advised by some lefty idiot that the town hall can't fly their own country's flag. Now that's what I call cultural appropriation. Celebrating everyone's culture but your own. Prat.
Oh and here he is courtesy of You Tube.
And finally..
A nice little tune from the seventies to brighten the mood.
