The theory that bold Celtic sailors crossed the Atlantic and navigated up the Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers to what is today the high plains of southeastern Colorado seems ludicrous to many people, particularly the academic community. But the evidence of surviving Ogham writing translatable via Old Gaelic and associated astronomical markings that relate to Celtic cosmology is strong. A three minute web video of excerpts from the Old News documentary and a series three enlarged still images with accompanying exposition summarize the arguments for why this theory has legs. The video clip is embedded into the documentary web page as an MPEG-4 requiring QuickTime 7. Alternate versions are accessible via pop-up players for QuickTime 6, Windows Media and Real Video. http://www.onter.net/story.html http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Tue, 29 Aug 2006 08:52:37 -0600 Tue, 29 Aug 2006 08:01:00 -0600 FeedForAll Mac v2.0 (2.0.0.3) unlicensed version; http://www.FeedForAll.com/ http://www.onter.net/on_rss.gif http://www.onter.net/story.html reduced scale title graphic for documentary website ONter.net 88 31 Computers with the iTunes 6 application installed and owners of video-enabled, fifth generation iPods can now download the 3 minute video podcast of our natively-hosted Old News theory episode from Apple's iTunes Music Store.
