The Arrogance of Modern Civilization

As I’ve watched several programs on TV, and read articles about archeological finds, I find myself shaking my head at the conclusions some of these so-called researchers come to. They seem to be incapable of giving credit where credit is due.

First to the latest news: I’m beginning the first rewrite of the screenplay for Hwimleian, the first part of a trilogy that takes place in Avalon and Britain around the year 500.
