Perhaps there is something in those Milesian stories afterall. It seems that the bagpipes exist everwhere the Celts are reputed to have been

I have been reading a book called 'Black spark, white fire.' I haven't finished reading it yet, and haven't quite made my mind up about the authors approach and theory (he does seem very naive in European history and "anti" European)

But, the similarities between the Egyptians and Celts is remarkable.
One notable similarity is the insistence upon the priestly caste to study for 20 years.
With the stone structures in Europe pre-dating Egypt, have people never thought that the Europeans may have influenced the Egyptians?


P.S. I was in a Metal band as a teenager called "the Carnyx"

We rocked!
