Crap head is on 60 Minutes. And that's an all-encompassing nickname. Time to switch up the whole multimedia experience here.

Dun Aengus, Inishmore, County Galway, Ireland

I had the opportunity to visit Ireland in 1970 and took a day-trip out to the Aran Islands. Dun Aengus is a spectacular Megalithic Fortress on the Atlantic cliffs of Inishmore. This photo, which was not taken by me, shows clearly the three sets of walls and, in the foreground, the Cheval de Frise. The buttresses supporting the innermost wall are modern additions.



"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I see this I think of a platform for cremation. I wonder if there is any evidence of carbon or burning on the top? The Ashes would go into the tomb once done.

Zoroastrians practice an open air burial. They have platforms where they place the lay the bodies and let the elements and the scavengers do the rest. They would have an elevated platform similar to this.
