Hands up all those who are fed up with this drivel on the Rennes le chateau section.

Title:
The Holy Place: Mystery of RENNES LE CHATEAU: Dicovering the eight wonder of the Ancient World.

He mentions it in the book.

oh and by the way the Forest is 20 miles outside of Rennes.

There's also a fundamental difference here. there's 4 posts on this thread. How many about the Crista?


Next question?

The Redones or Rhedones (Greek: Ῥήδονες, Ῥηΐδονες) are an ancient tribe of Gaul, in the Celtogalatia Lugdunensis of Ptolemy (ii. 8. § 12), placed by him west of the Senones and along the Liger (modern Loire River). Their capital was Condate (modern Rennes). But other authors contend that the Redones were not on the Loire. Pliny (iv. 18) enumerates the Redones among the peoples of Gallia Lugdunensis: Diablindi, Rhedones, Turones. After the bloody fight on the Sambre (57 BCE) Julius Caesar sent Publius Licinius Crassus with a single legion into the country of the Veneti, Redones, and other Celtic tribes between the Seine River and the Loire, all of whom submitted. (B. G. ii. 34.) Caesar here enumerates the Redones among the maritime states whose territory extends to the Atlantic Ocean. In 52 BCE the Redones with their neighbors sent a contingent to attack Caesar during the siege of Alesia. In this passage also (B. G. vii. 75), the Redones are enumerated among the states bordering on the ocean, which in the Celtic language were called the Armoric States. D'Anville supposes that their territory extended beyond the limits of the diocese of Rennes into the dioceses of St. Malo and Dol-de-Bretagne. Their chief town, Rennes, is the capital of the départment of Ille-et-Vilaine.

Caesar described the Redonnes as great seafaring people.

« Dans le même temps, César fut informé par P. Crassus, envoyé par lui, avec une seule légion, contre les Vénètes, les Unelles, les Osismes, les Curiosolites, les Esuvii, les Aulerques, les Redons, peuples maritimes sur les côtes de l'Océan, qu'ils s'étaient tous soumis au pouvoir du peuple romain. »
— Jules César, Commentaires sur la Guerre des Gaule, Livre II, 34.

« Pendant que ces choses se passaient devant Alésia, les principaux de la Gaule, réunis en assemblée, avaient résolu, non d'appeler aux armes tous ceux qui étaient en état de les porter, comme le voulait Vercingétorix, mais d'exiger de chaque peuple un certain nombre d'hommes [...] vingt mille à l'ensemble des peuples situés le long de l'Océan, et que les Gaulois ont l'habitude d'appeler Armoricains, au nombre desquels sont les Curiosolites, les Redons, les Ambibarii, les Calètes, les Osismes, les Lémovices, les Vnelles. »
— Jules César, Commentaires sur la Guerre des Gaule, Livre VII, 75.

not doubting you Roscoe but would like to investigate this claim...can you post me up somewhere i can do a bit of ferreting please.

Other than the two times the Redones/Rhedones are mentioned by Cesar in war of the Gauls...i find nothing....why are the people of the wheel..a seafaring tribe?

L'appellatif Redones procède d'une racine celtique red- (redo en gaulois, riad en irlandais, que l’on retrouve en balte et en germanique) signifiant « aller à cheval », et par extension « aller en char ». Les Redones étaient dont métaphoriquement les « conducteurs de char », titre relevant du vocabulaire guerrier, comme souvent chez les peuples de Gaule.

Selon Léon Fleuriot, Riedones vient de Ried avec le suffixe courant -ones (que l’on retrouve chez les Santones et les Suessiones notamment). Ried viendrait de Reidh et aurait trois significations différentes :

le char (significations la plus courantes, préférées par les philologues)
la rapidité, la liberté (avec le même sens, on retrouve reid en irlandais, et rhwydd en gallois)
la clairière, la plaine.
Jean-Pierre Picot indiquent la signification « ceux qui courent »

On rencontre parfois l’ethnonyme « Riedones », « Rhédons » (chez Pline l'Ancien) ou « Redons »

Fine, if that's your attitude...
Those are the two existing quotes that mentiones the Redones above.....

they are not a seafaring tribe they are a horse & chariot peoples.

Chapter 34

At the same time he was informed by P. Crassus, whom he had sent with one legion against the Veneti, the Unelli, the Osismii, the Curiosolitae, the Sesuvii, the Aulerci, and the Rhedones, which are maritime states, and touch upon the [Atlantic] ocean, that all these nations were brought under the dominion and power of the Roman people.

Yes dear i've read the quote several times...is that what you are basing your assumption on?

I suppose this is where I'm supposed to hop up and down on one foot, threatening to hold my breath until the moderator removes this thread to a more relevant area of the board?

NOT a recommendation for relevance!

Roscoe, I don't care what garbage you post. I imagine no one does. But you seem to really really really crave attention. Are you lonely? Do you feel neglected?

I would suggest you buy a puppy.
