Hello Jeff and others.
I mixed up Asimov with Veliskovsky after reading some bulls,
but I referred to Veliskovsky and his book Worlds of Collision.
But that was clear I assume. The book mixes ancient history
with assumed cataclysmic astronomical events.

I have never had any experience with dowsing, so I cannot judge
about it. The archeologists today make use of special equipment
that provides them with an image on which you can see the remains
underneath the groundlevel and also the anomalies in the soil.
They put two metal sticks in the ground every few steps and the data
retrieved is stored in a computer which produces an image with the software.
It all has to do with the conductivity of the soil that differs because
of remains eg like foundations.

Indeed most scientists, people in general, decry it, don't believe it.
Jeff, dowsers also introduced something that is not believed in general
either. They talk about ley lines. Around these ley lines they have
build what I would call a world of interpretation about certain events
today and also events in the past. Churches, historical
sites would be standing on these lines. The public, media, and science
are very sceptic about it.
If dowsing helps you with finding tunnels, who cares.

Well history is all we did, so interesting if one is interested in
mankind. The present ended a millisecond (?) ago so we leave a lot
of history behind. Because of this it is not easy to live in the
present as it becomes history the minute you think about it.

Schliemann's ambition was all based on the Ilias of Homer. The second
book Odyssey (Ulysses) is more or less the extension of the Ilias.
Ulysses wanders around at sea and searches home for his wife Penelope
and son Telemachus. Ithaka his hometown, he and his men,
looked for after being lost at sea for many years. He, Ulyssis is
the only one who had the power to stretch the enormous bow that
hung at the wall in the house of his wife Penelope. After the Cyclope, the
Sirenes, Circe and many other ordeals he kills all the lovers
with his bow who wanted to marry his wife during his absence.
Schliemann was convinced the two books were based on facts. This
still could be true. However the site in Turkey he found was not Troy.
He himself admitted that later on. But he did find the royal golden
remains of an unknown king and queen. He assumed he had found the remains
of king Primus. And that's what all the newspapers reported at the time.
He smuggled the treasures out of Turkey. In those days archeology was
not something like today. So he destroyed the site, but he was not aware
of it. Flanders Petrie really improved archelology.
Schliemann was a selfmade man with a lot of knowledge. The real
Indiana Jones. Archelogy very often was simply grabbing things.
The UK still "talks" about that with Greece because of the
priceless decorations they "took" from the Pantheon. (hi)
Italy got his famous four bronze horses back from France that once
stood on the entrance gate of the roman hippodrome.
Napoleon "borrowed" them. A very very valuable item.
When you look at the tour the France and perhaps see Armstrong
winning again this year in Paris, you will see the camara moving
to an egyptian obelisk of immense value. That's the way they
did archeology at first. The France always show it....
The bible in many ways is not only a book of religion, but also
records facts. For a long time the historians assumed the city
of Nineve and it's king Nebudkadnezar never had existed. But the city
is found in Iraq. It's peculiar but for the man the N.T. is all about,
never historical prove was found till now. But who knows perhaps it
will pop up someday. This would mean quite something. I think
it is only a question of time.
The biggest finding in this century in Europe probably will become the
already famous metal disc with astronomical data on it. It proves
the people in the iron age were not that primitive in Europe
as assumed. Their astronomical knowledge can be compared with
that of the Egyptians. Astronomical knowledge was vital. The
disc was found in Germany if I remember correct.
