I wish my job was traveling all around the world to make educated guesses about something that we will never truly have a definitive answer for...

"To be honest, the biggest mystery about this story for me is why Clive gets to drive a car and all I get is driving rain"

The picts didnt disappear, the rain just washed off there body paint and went on as regular scotts.

Romans reported the Picts called themselves "Kaldis" or "Kaltis". When the Picts became Christians, they adopted the Roman term "Pict". The term Picts means "painted people" in Latin. The first to record the Picts existence in Alba were sea-faring Greek merchants, who called them "Albiones" (pale-skinned ones). They painted their bodies blue for battle, as was the ancient custom of the Celts. From historical records, Picts had red hair that was either close shaved or left uncut, and were known for their long beard. The Picts are recorded to have reached Scotland by the first millennium BC, and chose the best areas for themselves. They absorbed the earlier tribesmen who were known as Orcades and soon dominated the northern half of Scotland. Picts held the territory north of the Firth of Forth in Scotland and mysteriously disappeared from written history around 900 AD.

We used to use telescopes that turned light into sound, the vibrations produced an image, these concentric circles are all over the world and the same principle can be applied to microscopes, we found the perfect nesting points to draw a physical connection for everyone to see. I hope your reading, the 3shells etc, light travels like a snake eating it’s tale to form it’s head, I have 100s of pieces of paper work to prove my findings, I’d love an opportunity to talk with someone who can help me visit these places

I love the Pictish art but what annoys me is this narrative of "Oh yes...Nessie ate them"...don't start me!. That was another tribe living near Loch Ness matey!. I was reading a bit of a Pictish book on me travels in St Andrews yesterday...Pictish stronghold in the east of the country and proud of it!.

The Picts and Basque are the same people. The natives before the Celts came.

And nah, I am more into runes. Did a runetour while studying in Sweden once. Old vans, not comfortable at all to go a bit off-road but surely much fun and educational. Beautiful landscapes too. Not sure if I rank it higher than my VIP-trip to the Marabou chocolate factory though hehehe. Tasting chocolate all throughout the morning, I literally didn’t eat apart from some fruit at night. It was awesome, yet something completely different lol. Still, perfectly Swedish/Scandinavian. It had history in it, so it counts as a historical trip too 😂

All are mysterious in natural phenomena.
