Maybe you could pass on some responses .

'John actually was a visionary, who did so, so much original research,
he more or less founded the "New Age" with his " View over Atlantis", "

True , but like most "new age stuff it's fantasy .

" but his "Old Stones at Lands End" was groundbreaking and authentic.
Nobody had done anything like that before. "

Never hear of Borlase , Lukis ,Pool , Blight etc and the splendid Vivien Russel ?

"Genuine, shoeleather research...he found all those stones."
His description of the area as "a few square miles " is fitting .
What he covered was a fraction of what Ms Russel did .
he didn't find "all these stones , see the others for the majority of them .


"Came down to Penwith, and found them, and made sense out of them."

Created a fantasy around them ,see the Bob Forrest link for the problems .
"Show me an Archaeologist that would have done that,"
As for shoeleather ,see above ,as for fantasy ,there's a few of them too .

"Of course, he is the inspiration behind "Megalithomania". "

He had a sense of humour and the laughs continue there .

"He was a brilliant mathematician."
No, he wasn't .

Same old stuff George, isn't it. Anything that strays from nice safe "history" is fantasy to you. Nothing new there. The problem with that is it doesn't answer the question "what was going on", and it never will. It can't, and you can't either. Too much reliance on the accepted model of history to allow for the likes of John Michell.
The current models of history and mathematics don't account for Johns insights, but that's because they are limited and incomplete. That's where your stance breaks down, and Johns continues. He had the vision to see past those limitations and share his observations. He never pretended to be perfect, just willing to be a bit different.
John added something to that incomplete picture, and thanks to his groundbreaking work another piece of the puzzle is much clearer than it would have been otherwise. This is something that would never have been achieved by the kind of attitudes seen on this thread, but then again when did ridicule and ignorance ever achieve anything.

You will have your chance to spread some more bile on some original and very different research quite soon, if you can. I look forward to that with some curiosity. It will be interesting to see what is dragged up to try and stamp on what's coming. I'm sure the attempt will be made. Best of luck with that.
