A toothless skull was all that researchers had of one of Scotland's oldest known Druids, but now they have something more: a wax re-creation of her face, showcasing her gnarled wrinkles and seeming intense determination.
The Druid woman, nicknamed Hilda, lived during the Iron Age. An anatomical analysis suggests that Hilda made it into her 60s, an impressive feat because most women from that region and time lived only until their early 30s, said Karen Fleming, a forensic art and facial identification master's student at the University of Dundee in Scotland.

I have not posted a thread out here in years. Had to get the WD-40 out.
No one knows who they were..
..or..
..what they were doin’...
Funny, she doesn’t look Druish.
“Hilda,” in Scotland during that time. LOL!
And where are they now? The little people of Stonehenge?
Hilda or hillary, willie would do her
*ping*
Alanon was a Druid.
I really find the Pics and Druids interesting.
I was really really disappointed with the new Smithsonian Channel’s series “Mystic Britan”:

A couple of doddering academics trying witchcraft and whatnot. Usually, the Smithsonian Channel is pretty good.
Allanon?
Terry Brooks Allanon?
LOL!
She has compelling eyes, and was probably beautiful when young (and I was thinking that we should keep Bubba away from those bones...)
Is he the durid that tries to wean you off your addiction to alkeyhol???
That be the same Alanon. I grew up reading the Shanara series.
In high school, we called the book The Sword of Shanana. (Because of the syndicated 50’s-retro variety show on TV at the time.)
An oblique reference to “Broom” Hilda, perhaps?
I think it has something to do with opera. No happy ending and all that.
As was I. I expected more beef and less showboating with speculation.
From _What’s Opera, Doc?:_
Elmer: “Bwoon Hilda, you’re so wuv-wee...”
Bugs: “Yes, I know it. I can’t help it...”
[Later...]
Elmer: “Wut have I done??? I’ve killed da wabbit! Poor wittle bunny! Poor wittle wabbit!”
Bugs: “*Well, what’d you expect in an opera? A _happy_ ending???*”
