It is true that the ancient wisdoms are so often overlooked - or worse still, belittled.<br /><br /><b>A Cuban in London </b><br />Thanks for picking out those lines, I wondered how they would be received.<br /><br /><b>Hank </b><br />True, and when you remember how far back in time we're talking. They've found edge ground axes on the site as well. It seems that, contrary to former thinking, they were the most advanced peoples of their time.<br /><br /><b>Daydreamertoo </b><br />Thank you so much for this. I do think it is something that cannot be said too often.<br /><br /><b>manicddaily </b><br />I've heard of the Herzog film, but not seen it, alas. Must see if I can't do something about that! Thanks for the kind words.<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />Thank you so much for this.<br /><br /><b>TARIQ MIAN </b><br />Thank you.

There's a new Herzog film - haven't seen but sounds amazing- maybe you have heard of it or seen it, about newly discovered caves. k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-84151534602085930112012-06-28T14:39:46.667+01:002012-06-28T14:39:46.667+01:00This is a fabulous read Dave.

No, we don't own the land and we ought to be giving back to it what we take out. Living hand in hand with it, instead we keep on plundering it for every resource there is and give nothing back but our toxic waste. Oh, how the true ancients were so much wiser than modern mas is in so many ways. I hope you shared this at some prompt or other Needs to be read by many.<br />Truly fabulous read Dave!Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-34619755697994381862012-06-28T14:19:57.262+01:002012-06-28T14:19:57.262+01:00Beautiful take, Dave!
