Good idea. Maybe I'll name him/her 'Baillie' after the Irish dendrochronologist, Mike Baillie, huh?

Looks like three circles to me.

Thanks Blam. I'm adding it to the GGG list, but not pingin' everyone.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list -- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

"SCIENTISTS have found the first evidence that a devastating meteor impact in the Middle East might have triggered the mysterious collapse of civilisations more than 4,000 years ago.

First evidence? Nevermind that the Bible records a global flood 4000 years ago. Anything in a religious work can't be the truth because everyone knows that there are NO true religions /sarcasm off.

[blam]

There are over 500 flood stories worldwide that are similar to Noah's flood. There are 2-3 in the Middle-East alone that are 500 years older than the Gilgamesh/Noah story. For some interesting reading on this subject, I suggest this book:

500 flood stories worldwide. And "scientists" still deny it happened.

Just updating the GGG information, not sending a general distribution.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

I think Islam had a lot more to do with the end of Middle Eastern civilization.
