A few weeks ago someone wrote this comment on my post about knobsticks:
"One of the knobsticks found in the Tollense River is actually made from blackthorn (sloe) wood (Prunus spinosa)! A remarkable resemblance to the Irish tradition. "
I had no idea what this person was talking about. I never heard of Tollense river before. So I decided to investigate the whole thing. What I uncovered during this investigation can prove to be one of the most important things I discovered so far, the missing piece of the jigsaw which links all the archaeological, linguistic, genetic and ethnographic data I have so far collected into a single picture. But I will talk about that in my next few posts. In this post I will tell you what I discovered about the Tollense river and the ancient battle which was fought on its banks around 1200 BC, and why I don't agree with the current official interpretation of the archaeological data from the site.
