Beste Mark,

By the way, a geological historian has been collecting records of a vast
number of bomb-like craters peppering the German Plain, dating back to a
swarm of meteorite strikes around approximately the La Teinè expansion. Sky
falling? One wonders. If I find the reference I'll post it.



Yes - I've heard about the same theory, too. The saga tells, that a special
group of people, a probably Celtic tribe, living around there (near the
Alpes) had invented a method to find the arch of the meteorites. This made
them capable to forge weapons you would not have found anywhere else in
Europe. Even the Roman Empire partly bought their swords there.



(BTW: What means 'to channer on sth.' and when and what was the 'La Teinè
expansion', svp?)



Allerbest!
