ANZAC Square
1 Attachment(s)
Built in memory of the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) who died at Gallipoli, Papua New Guinea, etc. The flame shown in this photograph is called the eternal flame - it's powered by a gas line, and never goes out. Ever. It's nicely symbolic.

This one shows the pillars surrounding the eternal flame. It's quite moving standing there at dawn on ANZAC day, while the Last Stand (IIRC) is played on the bugle. The old timers are there.. 80 year old, hardened men can't stop crying. It's what I call powerful.

There are several close spots in West Virginia that have ancient rock carvings, which were apparently left be either Native Americans, or Irish/Celtic explorers. They have been estimated to be around 1500 years old, or about 800 years prior to when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
The one attached to this post is at Lynco, in Wyoming County. Lynco is about 64 miles south from me, one counties south, and I’ve been there maybe twice in my life. Just for reference, here is a county map of WV. I live in northern Boone County (South of Charleston, written in orange). If I’ve ever been to the Boone Co. one, I don’t remember. Here are a few links about these petroglyphs, as they’re called.

The Jelling Stones...
This stone was carved around year 940-950, and it's the oldest words from a danish king, and first time Denmark as a country is mentioned. The runes on the inscriptions says kurmr kunukr karthi kubl thusi aft thurui kunu sina tanmarkar but or King Gorm made this monument in memory of Thyre his wife, Denmark’s adornment http://www.fortidensjelling.dk/runesten.jpg |

traces of my ancients, in brief.
portugal as a nation came to be in the 12th century ad as a result of certain crusades to take the iberian peninsula back into christian hands from the hands of the moors. it's not a pretty past: racial injustice, prejudice, religious wars, crusades. but after all that, portugal did end up contributing a lot to the world as it is today: it helped to explore the orient, india, africa, and america, thus making the world a smaller place. |
