Kounov Megalithic Stones 2

The 20 or so alignments of stones run in a North South direction and consist of hundreds of stones of differing sizes. All imported from somewhere far away. Didn't find the detail. Then there are two anchor stones: Gibbon and Pegas which delineate the arc between the setting of the sun at both the winter's and summer's solstice. This seems to point to a more ceremonial pagan site. And very defendable as two sides are steep cliffs and the stones are situated on a small plain on the top of the ridge.

Kounov Megalithic Stone Alignments

Just got back from searching for these megalithic stones about 60 Km outside of Prague. I wasn't expecting much but was shocked by what we found. They cover a huge area. About 20 parallel lines of rocks running 100s of meters long. Many rocks are missing because of logging etc but now it is all protected although you have unlimited access to all the stones. What a find. I will post more

Russian Wildfires

Last summer during the Russian wildfire season I got asked to speak on Czech TV about what its like to work on a forest wildfire. I told them about the ones I had been on in BC. They especially liked about the old law in BC where the authorites are allowed to force any adult males to go firefight in case of a shortage of manpower; and if you refuse then you go to jail. At least it was like that back in mid 80s. I told them that broken glass causes lots of fires and that Russia is apparently full of broken glass. Go figure!

Home Sweet Home

Walking on an old disused track along the river in Liben walked past a little hole and just noticed a man's foot sticking out.

Russian Loza to find Nazi Gold

I went out with a Czech colleague to use Russian deep ground penetrating radar called Loza to look for underground anomolies which may be tunnels where the treasure is hidden. No luck yet. Lots of drama though. Many strange characters involved as you can imagine

Thirsty Dogs

In Hungary with my first ever copy of my first ever book. Written in English, translated into Czech, printed in Slovakia and picked up in Hungary. Got stopped on the way down driving a Czech car, with a British passport, a Canadian driver's license and speaking Slovak. Small world!
