Burg Eltz is very interesting, but further South near Belgium. Erik Bye I'm sorry, now the time's up again, and I have to go, c ya lads! Erik Erik What do your papers say about the Bimini road; is it now seen as a genuine road? Because last I read about it (don't remember where or when), it was discarded as a natural rock formation (with a strange appearance). And the theory of it being an actual road was thought to be something like Von Däniken would say. [This message has been edited by duncan (edited 05-09-2001).] ------------------Fox Atreides Since the New Topic is getting very full too, I created another one. AJR So, what would you like to talk about ? Castles by any chance ? Fox Atreides Actually, this forum was for non castle related chat or something, but of course you may start about castles, I haven't got anything to say at all I'm afraid, about nothing. Erik Schmidt Hi Fox,
You were asking in the last topic thread about German castles near the border with Holland.
Check the pages on Niedersachsen and Nordrhein-Westfalen at;
http://www.burgenwelt.de/frameset.htm duncan Yes Fox, you are correct about this forum and i'm sure you have noticed that Castles on The Web IS about castle related topics.
So with that said, have you read any good books lately?
I beleave you mentioned you were studying, what years in history?
What is your favorite time and place of what centurys?Fox Atreides Thanx E.! Where going to germany on holiday and searching for castles, which we can only see when on holiday sad enough.
About the studying, We just closed the "golden age" section and now we're busy with the first world war, we have to make a website about it,
now I don't have any time, my interests will have to wait.Peter Burg Eltz is certainly worth seeing.
I have only visited Germany the once, but this site was on my list. It is stunning when you come down the main path and see it sitting in its valley like a toy.
One item I didn't have time to see (just pictures), which I thought was very interesting. Is the Stone seige castle just opposite Burg Eltz.Fox Atreides I've got some time again now, let's write down some more, first about the books.
I've been reading a lot of biggles books lately (kind of fits with tha first wirldwar) but at the moment I'm reading Ben Hur, after seeing the film for the second time.Fox Atreides Cool! member number 1111 is coming!
Now the favorite years in history (by interest of course, I mean a world war isn't really nice)
I'll start wif the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians
Then of course the castle ages, then the golden age in holland, and the both world wars.
Thease periods get the most of my attention, but I also like the vikings and the pre-historic times, the only time I don't really like is 1800-1900 years, except for napoleon's ages, wich I forgot to say, they're very interesting too. Did I forget anymore?
To take it short, I like all times but the 1800-1900 ages, except napoleon.Erik Schmidt I'm not so much into specific times, I'm more into architecture.
I love almost anything made using natural or semi worked stone. I love the Inca stone walls as well as the walls built at Great Zimbabwe. The Arab and Middle Eastern fortifications, some of which were much earlier than any European stone forts(other than the Romans)are absolutely great. And ofcourse I love all the European stuff.
I don't like baroque or renneisance(sp?)Fox Atreides I must agree with you, incan walls were magnificantly built, no weeds grow between the stones even now! duncan One of my favorites is the Bimini wall or road off the Bahama Banks with its many finds of sunken ruins and roads. Some are now being compared to the prehistoric tombs or temples on Malta and the standing stones along the road to those of Stonehinge in England.
Carved Limestone building blocks and stylized heads weighing from 200 to 300 pounds that have been brought up are helping to prove that the stone is not random beach rock that forms the under water road ways and citys.
Like the Incan walls no knife blade will slip between the cut stones. Erik Schmidt Sounds interesting Duncan.
Got a good website for it?duncan No web sites i can recommend i'm sorry. Just alot of Magazines, books and trade papers that talk of the area.
I read mostly the articles on the ancient constructions that have been found and what little comes of the discoverys. Not very many people seem to be interested in those so they don't get much atention in the press.Marko Duncan, duncan Its not thought of as a natural rock fault line as it once was. Too many divers have explored the area and have came back convinced other wise.
The US Navel and British Admiralty charts show man made objects off the bank in 250 to 300 fathoms of water.
The ERTS {Earth research technical satellites} have also picked up on film 'suspected man made sites' under water in the same area.Fox Atreides Can someone explain the difference between then & than to me? Gordon Than is a word used to lead to the second part of a comparion....'older than me'.
Then..means a time gone past...'I was younger then'
or stating what comes next in a list....'Monday then Tuesday'
or 'therefore'
or used to imply gruding agreement...'alright then'.
'Demeure par la verite'
Visit; Gordon's Scottish Castles Resource Page Fox Atreides thank you
