not about the game
Hallo fellow EB addicts!
At the beginning I must write that this is the best bloody game I ever played.
By writing it I mean it. I am archaeologist so I am aware of weight of proper knowledge put into this project. From the other hand I'm follower of idea about rewriting barbarian history and archaeology and you guys are making fine job in that field.
My passion of archaeology bring me to a beautiful place, Teamhair or Hill of Tara if you prefer. One of the greatest barbarian (celtic) culrure manifestation we can enjoy today. It was city complex with seven defensive forts around top of the hill, 3km in diameter (huge city settlement I would say). Seat of power for irish Ard Ri
, High Kings. Famous druidic college, with prestige to the point that every druid wannabe
have to spend certain amount of time there, learning his craft. Witness to some spectacular events, for example it is belived that last battle of Fianna, led by Fionn's mac Cumhaill grand son, Oscar, happend not so far from top of the hill.
Why I'm writing about this? Because from reason I can not understand there are ppl
trying to destroy Teamhair by building motorway through it
. For me it is like building motorway trough Troy or Parthenon. Do you reember Buddha's statues destroyed by Talibs in Afghanistan? Do you remember worldwide outrage about it? In case of Tara evryone are silent. Well maybe not everyone. There is group of people on the ground. Activist from various backgrounds, portrayed by official media as not quite sane tree hugging hippies
.
I'm not a hippie, I am an archaeologist. And I care.
But the truth is that numbers are low, and we need more people. We need any kind of support, be it talking with friends, writing petitions to Irish goverment or EU or helping us on ground by phisicaly stoping diggers.
Stoping diggers is fun. It is kind of like TW battle. We are developing various startegies and tactics. Using terrain to our advantage, blocking them in bottleneck places, using their superior numbers to make them block each other. Launching decoy groups from one side while main grouop is aproaching from another. Last year with 8 ppl we were able to stop 13km long construction site with 7 enternance gates for 2 months. It was quite logistical and tactical victory.
But now they are employing more security guards, and more police is involved so we need more ppl to. Currently on the ground there is about 30 protestors. So please help
. It is bigger than Ireland itself. I'm from Poland. There are people from England, France, Germany and USA as well. If you care about heritage, historical and archaeological values please help. You can start from checking whole story for yourself. Dont take my words as truth, look for info yourself.
