Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Newgrange is the most famous of several mounds found in Ireland. Until the discovery of the Cerny People of France during the last 40 years, it was thought these mounds in Ireland were the oldest monumental objects made by humans. They are 5,000 years old, hunderds of years older than the pyramids of Egypts, or Stonehenge. Newgrange was rediscovered in 1699 when a road crew looking for stone for a road discovered the stones of this mound. Unlike the mounds made near Paris which were made of soil, these mounds in Ireland are made of piles of small stones and so they can correctly be described as cairns.
