link Is there anywhere the Egyptians and Phoenicians did not visit? Was that before or after they started using Stargates? Dan
PS. Anyway, take out your most eclectic mix of figures, because I feel a game coming on . . . |

From link #3: "It must be noted that the Hieroglyphics mentioned here are believed now to be the work of an 'elderly yugoslavian gentleman' caught in the act by Gosford Park Rangers in the early '80s." Pretty much says it all, methinks.  Cheers,

Brother Tiberius, such slashing reparte with a rapier wit. |

This again. I remember hearing about a Phoenician slipway in the river around Mackay (or somewhere) and all kinds of other cr@p with as much believability as that windmill in the US that was supposed to be Viking in origin and the Chinese slipways in the Caribbean… |

The Yugoslavian gentleman was a cult leader carving a religious hymn in praise of "Beans, the musical fruit". |

Don't forget the burial site of Alexander in the sand dunes near Broome . . . |

Pft…geetting to Aussie is easy – the 1200 mile trip across the Tasman Seea to NZ would have been a challenge… But apparently the Celts made it… celticnz.co.nz go to the "Articles" link for plenty of wack-job theories about bits of the world… |

And when done there head to romanbattlesnz.co.nz for accounts of the Roman conquest of celtic New Zealand – Julius' siege of Hamilton and his adventures with Asterix are amazing storys. The site shows how the boundries of history continue to recede as we open our eyes to the evidence all around us (maaannnnn!). |

"Is there anywhere the Egyptians and Phoenicians did not visit?" One would surmise you haven't read the Clive Cussler Dirk Pitt novels or associated NUMA series. Those ancients really got around and did all sorts of amazing things (like burying the contents of the Library of Alexandria, including Alexander the Great's tomb, in a hill in Texas). And let's not forget the Phoenicians were the descendants of the Altanteans (who actually lived in Antarctica before a giant meteorite strike created Hudson Bay and shifted the Earth's orientation such that Antarctica became the south pole – it's all there in his novel, "Atlantis Found" – which, by the way, includes a secret Nazi base). Obviously these hieroglyphics must have come from the Atlanteans. |

Wouldn't surprise me if Dubbo turned out to be Atlantis. |

Yeah … I think I saw all this on the Stargate series …  Teal'c sounded like Crocodile Dundee … And they kept calling Major Carter – "Sheila" …  |

I don't know what they are on, but I don't want any thanks! |

so I shouldn't have left the CANE TOADS out of the latest batch of Frog-nog-grog then??? Drats! (Iwas making a slish to the store for some more VEGEMITE!) Sgt DWW-btod P.S. there are no GREEK, ROMAN, Phoenician or TEXAN 'ruins' on/in/under the waves at R'ylth….Cthullu ate them all and the STARGATE was used as a napkin ring for TENTACLMAS dinner about 256 B.C. and got thrown out with the leftover cuze-cuze…. |

Indeed, there is linguistic evidence that Australia was colonised by Ancient Egpytians. The river that flows through the centre of Melbourne (Australia's second-largest city) is named the Yarra. This name is derived from the Egyptian's chant "Yay! Ra!", as they sailed along its brown waters. |

The only game I can think of is trying to walk back to the boats without stepping on any more snakes. Lots of dice rolling though… |

I have great dificulty believing that any civilised culture has lived in australia. whats that joke about Yoghurt and Australians? leave Yoghurt in the sun for 200 years and it will develop a culture. |
| Servo3000 | 04 Dec 2009 10:10 a.m. PST |
How would an elderly Yugoslavian get all the way to Australia, and why? That's the real question. Anyone know of any companies making elderly Yugoslavian rock carver figures?
The Egyptians probably stopped off in Oz on their way to the Grand Canyon:

What I love is the government going after a convenient excuse, rather than the possibility that these carvings are genuine. Better to blame it on an old Yugoslavian then to worry about the carvings being genuine, Ad Hominum attacks are always to be preferred over actual research. God forbid that the entrenched views be actually questioned. |

This certainly fits into the Hive, Queen and Country backstory |
