Cornwall and Constantinople

We have a regular Archaeology program here which included a dig on a headland in Cornwall,(about 40 miles from where I'm sitting.) of what would have been a Celtic Village trading with Africa and Turkey in the Dark Ages.

I know Loreena is interested in this because, as you all know, as she uses the Celts to provide a theme through our histories to link us in a common bond.

I have tried to put the program onto a DVD which will play on a PC to send to Quinlan Road as I know they wont have seen this. As my PC failed to read it I gave up.. for now.

Here's the link. Hope it works !!

It's just for interest really but does serve to back up her stories. It doesn't include the lovely scenery but when they showed a reconstruction of the village of Roundhouses it was easy to imagine a Mummers Dance 1500 years ago.

As for the Live tour, it is no coincidence that Quimper is in Cornuoialle, Brittany as the two areas share a common link in the Celtic people who lived there and in Cornwall. The King Arthur legends appear in both reigons as well.

Hope this proves interesting.

Peace
