New Study Confirms Stone Age People Could Write
Just added some new posts on the Babel Texts
1. Stonehenge And The Orbits Of The Planets. Do The Ancient Wood Posts Surrounding Stonehenge Mark The Planets Orbits?
2. New Study Reveals Stone Age People Could Read – and were Homo sapiens the first species to learn to write?
3. A new look at the Babel Text on the Lingjiatan Jade Eagle Part I: Is this the Earliest Written Names of the Planets
4. A Reanalysis of the Babel Text Uncovered at Emei Mountain, China
5. Use Of The Babel Text At The SanXingDui Site In China
6. A Reanalysis Of The Angles Present Within The Babel Text: Does An Increase In The Size Of The Error Bars Change The Analysis?
I have also included some animation to show the orbits and how they link to the layout of Stonehenge, and a short video to help understand the proposed phonetic code behind these ancient lines. The listed papers can be found at TheBabelTexts dot com
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Update Part 1
Hi,
It's been quite a while since I last wrote anything. I have been busy as you will see.
I have now published the King Edition of Scotland & Shakespeare's Third Prophecy. This book completely rewrites the history of Scotland, and it adds new details to the mystery surrounding Macbeth.
I also recovered the lost book of Frederic Van Bossen, a 17th century historian, who travelled around the courts of Europe, to record the names of all the Queens of Scotland.
Now, though there are some errors, and also some very questionable entries in van Bossen's work, he does add new information on the start of many Scottish clans, and this is also the only known work that provides the complete ancestry of Shakespeare's mysterious Thane Banquo.
Extended extracts of van Bossen's work are available in my other book that I released last year "The Lost Queens of Scotland: Extracts from Frederic van Bossen’s The Royal Cedar ".

Update Part 2
Entries from both books "The Lost Queens of Scotland" and "Scotland & Shakespeare's Third Prophecy: King Edition" have recently been entered on Wikipedia, under the entries for King Duncan, King Macbeth, King Malcolm III and Thane Banquo.
My work on early Stone Age astronomy is also mentioned in Wikipedia.
This is for the discovery that the mean size of the Earth and the Moon might be reflected in the size of Stonehenge and the Earthworks surrounding the stone circle.
For clarity, this entry can be found on the "Archaeoastronomy and Stonehenge" wikipedia page for Stonehenge...It is not on the general Stonehenge page.

Update: Part 3
To finish, I have spent time to update/remove various typos from both "The Babel Text" & "The Map That Talked", and I have updated the cover page of The Map That Talked.
I also published hardback editions, which being black and white and published in lower quality paper, makes the hardback edition considerably cheaper than the paperback edition (the paperback edition is published using high quality paper).
For those who have wondered about the high price for the paperback edition of "The Map That Talked", the minimum price is set by Amazon, and it is based on the size of the downloaded file.
This means printed books with many images are far more expensive than text-only books. This is even though the actual difference in printing costs is mere pennies. Yeh I know....but that is how Amazon makes its money.
I have tried my hardest to reduce the size of the images, while still keeping them readable, but I could not bring the price of the paperback edition down any further. If anyone knows any method for reducing the cost of books with images...please let me know.
Anyway that about wraps up the latest news, and I hope to be back next month with some further updates.

The Lost Queens of Scotland
I just released a transcript of the late 17th century hand-written notes of Frederic van Bassen (or Frederic van Bossen).
Though there are numerous errors, these hand written notes are the only surviving notes that mention the names of the Queens of "Scotland". This adds new insight into the time of Macbeth, and also the relationship between the Kings of Scot and the Normans.
For Clan Historians, the notes also reveal new insight into the start of Clan Douglas, McInnes, Murray and my own clan, Clan Cunningham.

The Babel Texts - Price Reduction
I am not sure what Amazon/Kindle changed, but finally they have reduced the cost of producing my book.
...which means I can finally reduce the price of the book to $35 for the print version, and $3.99 for the ebook.
Everyone, keep safe....

I'm sorry, but this just shows how the Republican Party sand Fox News really do not care about how many people die from the Coronavirus.

Coronavirus...
After hearing Trump talking lyrically about how beautiful it will be to fill churches next week for Easter, I feel compelled to write the obvious DON"T EVER FOLLOW TRUMPS ADVICE. I mean, please.
This is a deadly disease, and many countries are now getting the disease under control. And if we can just get enough masks made, we can get out of this.
As a historian, I also recommend watching the first half of this video. to show how poor Trump's judgement (and understanding) has been. This is important for those who still think Trump's advice is worth following.

....this is a simple request to stay healthy. Whether the Wall Street indexes are up or down just does not matter! The problems are keeping peoples jobs (something that can be solved by giving everyone proper masks) and the leaders making sure the health services are not overwhelmed.
