More (and Considerably Less) on Ogham

To say the least. Fell, who also was a linguist by training and profession,
was probably the first person to look at "Great Basin Curvilinear"
petroglyphs critically with a knowledge of written Kufic Arabic of the 1st
millenium.

I can personally show you numerous Kufic petroglyphs of the name "Mohammed"
at Petroglyph Park, west of Albuquerque. I also once found 2 Ogham
inscriptions at Inscription Rock, in El Morro National Monument, near Zuñi,
NM. Although the entire rock face was photographed in the eary '50's before
exfoliation ruined so many of the inscriptions, the Park Service Anthro and
Archeo types that catalogued the inscriptions from the photos apparently
didn't know what Ogham was or what it looked like.

Fell rocked a boat that had been on calm seas for far too long and they
threw him overboard for it.
