Is there anything which you are not the worlds leading expert on? Carrigaruppera is NOT visible in that image, but you can see the gap where the stone is. You seem to be implying that the stone is not visible from the Carrig. I have better things to do than spread BS on this site. Mike Power deserves credit for his achievements, not criticism. The implication of your comments is that everything has already been discovered, which it most certainly has not, and that I'm telling lies. You seem to spend a lot of time here attempting to rubbish other peoples work. When you have spent 20 years in the locality, or witnessed the event in person, you may be better placed to do so.


Everything was in response to " "has yet to be recognized, despite it being one of the most outstanding alignments in Ireland next to Newgrange. "
I gave an explanation why that might be the case . It is not an intentional astronomical alignment that will be accepted by archaeoastronomers ,it is a view of the rising equinox sun where it rises close to a standing stone as seen from a prominent natural viewpoint ,there are thousands of such exampes for all the main astro events , it looks good and has a bit of magic associated with it because of the standing stone you won't however convince archaeoastronomers that the stone was erected there with that in mind . The Newgrange comment I'll leave to others to judge .How do manage to read into what I said implied there is nothing left to discover . Maybe it's upsetting to hear what you don't want to hear and that might explain why others have said nothing about it and it has gone "unrecognised " . If pointing out the problems with the idea is rubbishing then , fine , some points have problems ,maybe you should respond to the actual problems than simply complain that they were mentioned .
