Ignore decades of denial by mainstream archaeology: Flat Ogham is alive and well in Ireland. This is a quarter-hour travelogue of the back roads of Ireland in 1986-1988 in search of matching ogham styles discovered in America. The evidence gathered 3 decades ago directly contradicts the dogmatic, non-science posted in 2013 by badarchaeology.com, a dutiful, establishment parrot.

Within a narrow shelter between two huge boulders of a caprock high above the Purgatory River in southeastern Colorado is a Native American equinox site known as The Pathfinder. From a natural chimney above extends a midday sun dagger much longer than America's most famous archaeoastronomical event authored by the Anasazi atop Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon. Besides the dramatic Colorado dawn alignment and shadow play on a leaf petroglyph (which may, indeed, more accurately depict a vulva), there is an equinox sun ray that pierces a set of petroglyphs. Its inspiration seems to be from the Navajo legend of a slumbering Changing Woman impregnated with twins by a blazing sun beam. In addition, this video traces the discovery of suspected Celtic Ogham rock writing in Colorado and Oklahoma in the late 1970s along with mainstream archaeology's determination to dismiss evidence with biased institutional collusion.

Pyramidology, an obsession in Great Britain in the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s, helped usher in the hybrid science of archaeoastronomy, though you won't read about this in the Wikipedia article. Judging past practices as pseudoscience using modern sensitivities, the collaborative authors have banished this, nonetheless, formative genesis reported here.

FAIR USE in a scholarly context is claimed for this network news report that indepedently and historically verified two archaeoastronomical solar alignments with petroglyphic carvings on equinox first filmed in Scott Monahan's KRMA-TV documentary 2 years earlier.

Citing articles from The Atlantic Monthly in January 2000 and from the 1925 Kansas Historical Society Collections, anecdotal, archaeological and ethnographic accounts suggest Celtic sailors may have left genetic fingerprints in America before 1200 CE.

Authors Martin Brennan and Chas Clifton visit a solar observation site in southeastern Colorado, marking an ancient Celtic cross quarter date, ending spring and beginning summer. A thin ledge in front of a large circle carved on the sandstone cliff is the only place to witness the peculiar May 5 sunrise within a 3-sided notch defined by the horizon and a dramatic rock overhang. This year, clouds obscured first light, but the sun does an encore appearance along the edge of the cliff face minutes later.

The introduction and some key excerpts from Scott Monahan's local PBS documentary that broke the news in 1985 about presumed Celtic inscriptions found some 175 miles southeast of Denver. This clip includes commentary from Dr. Barry Fell, a leading proponent of Old World diffusionism and a controversial epigrapher who ignited controversy in the 1980's with his book "America B.C."

This is an abridged version of a television news report by Eve Savory, science specialist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which aired nearly 2 years following the premiere of Scott Monahan's "History on the Rocks" documentary on KRMA-TV, Denver. Ms. Savory requested and was provided film footage of the linguistic and archaeoastronomical evidence for an ancient Celtic presence in Colorado from the documentary. TransVision founder Scott Monahan believes this reproduction more than 20 years later of the archived broadcast aircheck supplied to him by the CBC qualifies as "fair use" under United States copyright law, given the context of these podcast episodes. This podcast is our first public exhibition of the CBC report, reciprocity for the courtesy we extended to the CBC in 1987 and is in no way intended to infringe on CBC's intellectual property.

Present day Colorado appears to have had an attraction not just among ancient Celtic explorers. In earlier centuries, perhaps millenia, explorers from the port city of Salalah on the coast of Dhofar in present day Oman at the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, appear to have left their mark in the heart of mid-America, too.

The theory that bold Celtic sailors crossed the Atlantic and navigated up the Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers to what is today the high plains of southeastern Colorado seems ludicrous to many people, particularly the academic community. But the evidence of surviving Ogham writing translatable via Old Gaelic and associated astronomical markings that relate to Celtic cosmology is strong. A three minute web video of excerpts from the Old News documentary summarizes some key aspects for why this theory has legs. Featured are animated graphics of the clockwise North Atlantic steering currents and an easy-to-understand lesson on 8 seasonal cusps celebrated by the ancients, the equinoxes and the solstices plus four other divisions, the cross quarters observed by the Celts: Beltaine, Lughnasad, Samhain and Imbolc. These documentary excerpts address many of the arguments dismissive of ancient Celts for lacking the ability to explore beyond Europe or to memorialize their distinctive knowledge of astronomy on North American rock walls and in caves.
