Introductory Blog
From now on I will be posting a NascoBLOG every second and fourth Wednesday of the month, starting July 12th 2013 and then July 26th and so on, even through the holiday time, so wherever you are you can keep up to date.
So, firstly may I introduce myself. My name is William James Veall. I am essentially an Archaeoastronomer but have to be familiar with many cross-disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, ethnology and, naturally, astronomy, plus a whole host of others like epigraphy, cartography, classical sculptures - even the religions of ancient times. I hold more than twenty copyright registrations for archaeological research.
I have been a life-long exponent of solving the mystery behind the Nasca Lines Archaeological Monument and will explain some discoveries relating to this subject in forthcoming NascoBLOGS. I will also recap on some of my original, currently off-line, Nascodex web - pages.
With a scientific engineering background, I am involved in the design of UAV's for student archaeologists - particularly for aerial photography and site survey in remote mountainous and desert terrain.
So, what do I have in store for the July 12th NascoBLOG?
Well, I am going to introduce you to a Trans-Oceanic theory, published a couple of years ago (Mattievich,E. 2010), that Odysseus's journey to the Underworld actually took place in South America and where Odysseus allegedly met the 'spirits of the dead' at the confluence of the Rio Santiago and the Rio Marañon.
So, maps at the ready - see if you can locate this meeting point before NascoBLOG2. Here's a clue. Odysseus was said to have started from the Amazon Basin. (Answer in NascoBLOG 2)
In NascoBLOG2 I will draw a comparison with the hypothetical Odysseus journey and my own research as recorded in my recently published E-Book. "Portraits of the Gods" incorporating "The Lost Lands of the Phoenician - Canaanites in... Peru" (Veall 2013).
I can assure you, the outcome of my research is archaeological dynamite and has changed pre-Columbian history. Forever.
Look forward to meeting you all on the 12th July.
