Strange, I just came across this post because the name Robert Marx was mentioned.  I use to be a great fan of Mr Marx when I was younger and he used to write articles for magazines.
When I tried the link the page couldnt be found but then again its an old post and thats why things move on in this world.
Theres no excuse for being late hehehe.
In fact because of the research I do myself especially with King Arthur and Madoc his Brother I recall that many years ago whilst doing archaelogical surveys somewhere in the America's, forgive me I forget where he claimed he had discovered a Roman Gallion.
For this he was promptly told to pack up and leave because it threw doubt over Christopher Columbus being the discoverer of America.
He didnt know about the Madoc story then which was documented because research was concentrated in Wales where Alan Wilson and Baram Blacket were tracing memorial stones to the Kings of Britain to verify their existence.
Im wondering if Robert Marx was to know about this maybe he could throw more light onto his discovery because I dont think it was a Roman Gallion but it could of been one of the 600 to 700 ships that Arthur used to transport his people to the new world as they called it..   Irrespective of what the man claims to have found elsewhere I think he was one of the greats and one I have a great deal of respect for.... Sometimes others only appreciate a mans lifetime work after they have passed away, people forget that.


I read also that somewhere in South America some Egyptian styled ships were found sunken along the coastline making it theoretically possible that the Egyptians may have traveled to South America in the distant past. It would certainly account for the similarities found in archaeological digs there. You know what I mean. Sun worship. Mummified burials. Pyramid shaped temples.

There has also been more gold discovered in Egypt than could have been mined locally thus giving me reason to believe that some of the gold there came from South America. None of this is evidence, by the way. Just my thoughts on the matter.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
