The Celts were also in America as my recent visit to Ontario, Quebec, Nova
Scotia,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut established. I found
Celtic
burial grounds, dolmens and ogham inscriptions everywhere. History is
under our feet.
It is in the faces of the people we meet. It is in the language we
speak. The written word
is suspect because Church and State alike have fed us with misinformation
for thousands
of years.
The Celts were great sailors. The Vikings learned their sea-faring skills
from the
Celts whose arrival on the American Continent pre-dated the Vikings.
I shall leave it to the Clan Douglas to write to the Washington Post. It
would have
more authority coming from 'the horse's mouth'
Kind regards,
