Well put. Thanks.

Quote: "It grieves me yet more that now and already, within less than twenty four hours of his confession, there are cries that 'he is being forced to deny it' - 'it's all a cover-up' etc. etc."

Less than 24 hours! It's almost like the whole 'confession' was part of a well-orchestrated plan of misdirection and covert, 'satirical' redirection.

And you, Henry, you publish information about your mysterious 'Point X' in the landscape, but only after thorough excavation of the site. Tell us, what did you find? Why are you covering up what you found? Why is it OK for you to pretend that you didn't find anything, to pretend that no excavation took place? Meanwhile, Ben has to turn over everything he finds to DRAC and other Vatican agents?

I agree let us move on

What point X ? What excavation ? Vatican agents ...gimme a break !

Point X.

Finally , and it only took him 40 years and a powerpoint presentation.

Let's hope he mentions Vitrivian Architecture & Engineering.

C'est merveilleux. Lincoln s'est converti! Il declare qu'il abandonne les "shameful untruths" pour le Careme!

Roger, are you and Rain a new double act?

Are you a matchmaking service now, Thomas?

Just remember, I'm the good-looking one

Sorry Henry the fantasies still continue on the Arcadia forum. These people seem to revel in their ignorance.

Cessez de boire l'absinthe

It sounds a little after the fact to me but whatever floats your boat!

TD

Fair doos about point X but the excavation ?

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder...seems Rog/Tert has been knocking back the Blanquette de Limoux.

I know.
I'm up for it and can build just about anything with my hands too.
Can you finance?

Nah, B de L makes one mellow, I suspect the voice from the shadows is still sustaining his bitter mood with some Vin de Paille from the Jura, maybe an Arbois or a Chateau Chalon.
It's what will be giving him this troublesome disposition and he displaces the ensuing melancholy by sniping from the margins in the language of his birth.

Sad, really!

TD

Finance ? You mean me spending money ???

Am I the only one who received a case of Châteauneuf-du-Pape as a bonus from the Vatican? I hate to drink alone...

TCP

So it's all back to yours, eh Tim?
Best keep it select, a case won't go far!

Did you know that Henry Lincoln excavated many of the points in his geometry before publishing The Holy Place'? Before any other treasure-hunters saw the lay-out of his geometry? Some of this excavation was rudimentary and consisted of little more hacking away brush and clearing some ground to see what was there. Other points of the geometry were dug up more extensively. But did he include any of these findings in his books? No. Did he report anything to DRAC or any other authority? No. Its easy for Henry to pipe in now about 'shameful untruths' but he wasn't saying much before. Do you know why? Because he found Ben Hammott's tomb 15 years earlier and decided not to tell anyone. Ben, on the other hand, couldn't resist bragging.

It's time to come clean Henry!

Ha Ha ! Aye, very good.

Well, then how about verifying my Fountain of Youth findings?
I'm positive it's somewhere in the vast and spring rich wilderness across the highway from me.
