TWO SHORES OF EDEN
+(2)_page_001.png)
Below I have taken the opportunity to delineate what I have called "The two shores of an Eden" superimposed on the excellent "Soils of Scotland"map as published in www.snh.gov.uk/docs/A337648.pdf (Please note that my delineation marks are only intended to show roughly the body of Scotland which lies between the Great Glen (red line) and Highland boundary (black line) and the soils which they contain.
To the south of the Highland boundary fault there is another fault line called the Southern Upland fault which probably indicates the later collision between what is now known as Scotland and England.
Within the black circle on the Soils Map there is contained an area of varying soil antiquities
- Within the Northern sector of the circle lie the sites where the first marine life crawled out of the sea to breath air! around where Elgin exists today (See Aberdeen Press and Journal article)
- In the centre of the circle lies the site of our Early Palaeolithic finds!
- Within the southern sector of the circle lies "The Rhynie Chert"!
All these facts bring pressure to bear on previously / currently accepted myths suggesting that NE Scotland is barren of any evidence of early Palaeolithic habitation associated with human cultures.
Indeed it appears to hold irrefutable evidence of it being a birth place of and cradle for evolution from at least 400,000,000 years as it travelled over the surface of our planet to arrive where it is today.
The land mass to the south of the southern upland fault has its own story to tell regarding its voyage over the planet's surface as it started out from a very different position.
Hello again Jack
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been so long but the windfarm progress stalled for a while. We are still trying to find out what is going on. However you may be interested to know that Aberdenshire Council is scoping new Local Nature Conservation Areas and the Moss of Cruden is being included in this for its geodiversity. I've contacted the council to say our Community Association will assist if required. May I mention your work?
We agree about the importance of this and think that making information about the site more widely available locally will assist somewhat with your mission
Kind regards
Lynda
Good Evening Lynda,
DeleteThank you again for your kind communication.
I cannot understand the total lack of response, from a good cross-section of respected Archaeological correspondents of our press (herein after referred to as them or they);to our findings from the moss of cruden.
My "Two Shores of Eden" article brings a lot of focus on to circumstances which should have prompted them into some sort of reaction but alas they may have been asleep at the wheel.
I hope some of them read this communication and pause to consider the uniqueness of the "Two Shores of Eden" philosophy and the diversity of Palaeo-Archaeological information which resides there.
It is important that this area of Buchan is protected and investigated.
The findings at Happisburgh and Boxgrove, I believe: pale into insignificance when compared to what has been exposed and has yet to be exposed in Buchan.
To be continued;
Kind Regards,
Jack
Good Evening Lynda,
DeleteI have just reread my previous communication to you and found that I had not emphasised enough how much our findings support an important aspect of your quest.
Feel free to publish.
Jack.
