Abramelin Posted March 9, 2013 Author #2652 Share Posted March 9, 2013 OK, I wait for that. See below my geography of the OLB, based on the juul-wheel. Dr. Ottema van zijn kant kwam juist door de vermelding van paalwoningen in het H. S. tot het besluit, dat het verhaal voor 't minst eenige eeuwen voor onze tijdrekening moest geschreven zijn. Een derde wijst er evenwel op, dat in Van Lennep's Brinio, waarvan de eerste druk in 1838 verscheen, reeds van paalwoningen bij de Marezaten wordt gesproken.

Abramelin Posted March 9, 2013 Author #2653 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Like he said: "One of the problems with our materialistic natural science, is, that it is near to 100% dependent on matter." When things are found, that is wonderful. But if no things were found, it does not mean they were never there. Some things disappear by natural cause over time, others get destroyed (or recycled) by humans. And I am still awaiting physical proof of an ancient civilization that stretched out over much of Europe, with colonies in Northern Africa and the Middle East. I understand much could have been lost, but also that much must be still there. I really won't buy that every physical proof of that civilization has disappeared into thin air.

Abramelin Posted March 9, 2013 Author #2654 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Kennemerland did not belong to the Frisian territory. Alkmarum and Egmond occur in the OLB, but have not been listed. Kennemerland gets its name from the Kennemer people, who were Frisians that fought with the Counts of Holland and lost in the Middle Ages. The name is said to derive from the Canninefates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennemerland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand much could have been lost, but also that much must be still there. I really won't buy that every physical proof of that civilization has disappeared into thin air. Here are some physical proofs of ancient ringwall-burghs in the area of the Netherlands. Most of them are regarded as being from the Viking period, but not everybody agree. http://s1305.beta.photobucket.com/user/holavli/media/nederland3hoIV_zps6e9496ad.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apol Posted March 9, 2013 #2656 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I think your Süder Flilanda are too far south because it has no connection with the ancient river Fli/Flie/Vlie. Not with the RIVER Flí, but with the Flí MÂR. But it's merely a guess - though not drawn completely from the thin air. Flood are named Fliet in the OLB, and I think it's the same word. There are a lot of floods south of the Flímâr - maybe the name Ða Sûdar Flílanda (The Southern Vlielands) refers to the whole system of floods?

One of the principal dating methods applied to for instance the Danish burgh of Trelleborg, was dendrochronology (counting of growth rings in wood). Niels Ishøj Christensen thinks that the wood that was found was only from the last restauration of the burgh before it was abandoned. Regarding other finds, Christensen says: "In my opinion, the loose finds of remains from the Viking Age - ceramics, loom weights, combs, iron tools, weapons etc., collected within the ringwall during the excavations 1934-42, proved that the site had been used by people at the end of the Viking Age, not that the whole construction site was erected in 980-81. Poul Nørlund had regarded the bowl-formed Viking Age fibula of ca. 950-1000, which was found in a fireplace at the courtyard, to lay below one of the burgh's longhouses, and accordingly to be older than the house. But also the opposite could be the case - the house may have laid there first, but had become decayed or burnt down, and later the fireplace where the fibula was found could have been dug into the ground of the old house." (Niels Ishøj Christensen: Den store konges borg – På sporet av det skjulte Trelleborg (Forlaget Loke, Søborg, 2007; ISBN-10: 8799173301, ISBN-13: 978-8799173303)) This only to visualize how difficult the dating of ringwall-burghs is. One thing is for sure: the ringwall-burgh type is much older than the Viking Age. The Dore Hill Fort near Fowey in Cornwall, for instance, is dated to the 4th century BC - it even seems to have 6 gates instead of 4. http://www.historic-...castle_dore.htm http://www.historyfi...ainCornubia.htm The same seems to have been the case with the ringwallburgh of Hamaland in Appel, Gelderland, discovered in 2006. http://dutchcastles....len-deel-1.html Edited March 9, 2013 by Apol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramelin Posted March 9, 2013 Author #2667 Share Posted March 9, 2013 moor (n.) "waste ground," Old English mor "morass, swamp," from Proto-Germanic *mora- (cf. Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch meer "swamp," Old High German muor "swamp," also "sea," German Moor "moor," Old Norse mörr "moorland," marr "sea"), perhaps related to mere (n.), or from root *mer- "to die," hence "dead land." http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=moor&allowed_in_frame=0 morass (n.) "wet, swampy tract," 1650s, from Dutch moeras "marsh, fen," from Middle Dutch marasch, from Old French marais "marsh," from Frankish, possibly from West Germanic *marisk, from Proto-Germanic *mariskaz "like a lake," from *mari "sea" (see mere (n.)). The word was influenced in Dutch by moer "moor" (see moor (n.)). Figurative use is attested from 1867. Replaced earlier mareis (early 14c.; see marish). http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=morass&searchmode=none From Marsac(i) to Marasc ?? http://gtb.inl.nl/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=VMNW&id=ID14016 It's interesting to note that this word ("marasc") for morass, swamp is restricted to the area of West-Flanders, just where some locate the Marsacii.

The first mentioned name was “Vicus Beda”. Emperor Constantine the Great expanded the settlement to a road castle around 330, the central part of which forms the town centre to the present day. Bitburg is first documented only after the end of the Roman Empire around 715 as “castrum bedense”.

E.g. an important old city like Haarlem has not been mentioned in the OLB, nor other castles in Kennemerland. By the way, what makes you think Waraburch was on Wieringen ?

Well found, but Beda is not Buda in the area of the Haga Fenna and Walda. On the same map you find in Frisia the wood (Walda) Baduhenna, which could be something like Wald of Buda (Badu).
