There is a difference between consciously committing a fraud, and simple ineptitude.
And there are lots of examples of unusual conclusions reached by well respected scientists.
But in the end, you need to stop focussing on the researcher and consider, instead, the evidence.

Oh I agree. But people like to kill the evidence by killing Fell dont you know.

Yes but please explain just what supporting evidence is conspicuously missing? You and he say that like there is some 10 point test to verify any ogam inscription by a multitude of outside local evidence. I would expect that from Kelly who never has to question the context of his work or where hes at.

I would like to see a few more sources for this, but if its true then it certainly pushes forward the idea of an advanced civilization spreading its message globally.

Couldn't some ogham simply be some Native American enumerating how many turkeys he killed over a 20 day period? (5 turkeys the first day, next "bunch" would be three turkeys the second day...) or whatever?
Imagine a Grizzly takes several swipes at a tree branch. Is the bear writing in ogham script?

You need to move out of the deep end of the pool my friend.

Of course there are other interpretations... IE, that disparate cultures around the world all recorded the same celestial events occurring in the sky. Be they mega-auroras or something else not seen today.

Some of the things you say are correct, some are misunderstood. As far as Pan and Kokopelli you may want to consider digging deeper. Like hundreds of pages.
You have to skeletalize a study like this and back up a little. So Kokopelli was a hunchback and Pan wasn't. That may end up showing more of a connection that you might imagine when you get back closer to the source.

As far as the OPs opening post, script like this is found all over the world and suggests a maritime trade and exploration concern having primary to do with prospecting for metal.
You can goggle Leo Petroglyph Ohio and see ogam, proto-sinaitic and the schematic forms used there.
Leo www.theadventuretrail.com...
This is just a tid bit of the entire site. Good pics of the thing are wanting on the net.

Stripping him down to basics still doesn't give the same thing as Kokopelli other than they were male and played a wind instrument. But if you use that as a generalization, then you can include Count Basie and Satchmo and the Archangel Michael.

Well if we are to understand that some ogam exists in America the amount is so small that it may not indicate any substantial Celtic presence anyway.
The Hopi history says they traveled from the east with a group of white people.
Back on ogam, even if we were to believe the Celtic monk idea, it is clear that most ogam in the US is pagan sun worship and other things besides. [edit on 10-3-2009 by Logarock]
