Personally, I blame the Vikings. We all know how nasty they were!


They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

Very interesting [In reply to] Can't Post

Thanks for that link. It will probably take years of analysis, but it sounds like they will get huge amounts of interesting information from this site. Very cool. But in the meantime, someone should warn them....

Don't follow the lights...

But I think I might need to change my vacation plans... I was going to Scotland, but now I don't think I want to be near a bog...

This is very interesting Meneldor [In reply to] Can't Post

I will have to read up more on this. "Human heads nailed to trees". Bit before Geneva Convention, eh? UnimpressedShocked


If they were sacrificed after death and after the battle. I wonder how long the time lag was? And if it was logistics of transporting them or if another set of people entirely placed them where they wound up?
