People like Tonkin operate within very strict borders,mostly propping
up the 'primitive' Greeks to justify their empirical inheritance, and
those genuine investigators who have sought to extend the historical
or technical borders have been ostracised such as Stecchini.

Having spent the day at Newgrange * which happens to be not only one of
the oldest known Western structures but also an astronomical clock
marking the annual cycle,the one fact I can come away with and which
these guys should be ashamed.As contemporaries use a
calendrical/celestial sphere format and those ancients used a
different format to register the annual cycle,I live among those who
could not build the Newgrange solstice marker because every 4th year
has a different cycle that the previous 3 years due to the calendrical
correction.

I would not be ashamed to stand in the presence of those ancient
astronomers while these punt imposters with their emoticons have
little regard for the annual natural cycle reflecting axial and orbital
motion.
