    Re: Viking Burial Discovered in Scotland

    Very difficult. I do not think it is a question of time, 10 years or 100 years or 1000 years, that makes no difference. What is important to me is if there are any adherents or believers still. If there are, then the sanctity of the place or area remains. If there are no adherents or believers left then, I think, we owe it to them and to our descendants to find out as much as we can before it is all lost.

    Is there a greater cruelty than deliberately wiping a tribe or race from history?

    Regards

    Chas

    You've got a great point.

    Think of how many of our ancestors or late family members were buried with their Scottish kit. If the internet and certain archives were suddenly wiped away, we'd have nothing to look at except the "memoirs of the past"that the deceased left behind.
