@operatoday true! Intriguing, no? cf also Koch and Cunliffe on the origins of Celtic: http://www.oxbowbooks.com/oxbow/celtic-from-the-west.html … -

@operatoday ooh, big time difference there, lol---suspect too much, but could be wrong! -
@caitlinrgreen Would be interesting if proto-Celts discovered America millennia before Vikings. - 2 more replies
