[UPDATE] New Sentinel Article 21/04/05

Hikers Discover More Newguard Ruins
By JEREMY CLARIDGE

A group of hikers have found new ruins in the area southeast of the Newguard Seven Bridges, presumably uncovered by the Mazy River's spring overflow. "We of course haven't had time to really examine the site," said Academy archaeologist Shonda Noonan. "This does suggest, though, that the Newguard settlement spanned more area than we had previously thought. It will be very exciting to take a good look at this and see how many of our assumptions must be changed."

Hiker Troy Kasote, 47, said that his family was returning on their annual jaunt down the South Span Trail when his 11-year-old daughter, Harmony, wandered further off the trail than usual in search of different kinds of insects to capture for a school project. "When I went to collect her ... we noticed some stonework at right angles," said Kasote, who works for the City Revenue Service. "We of course carefully recorded the location and sent information off to the Academy at once."

Noonan had high praise for Kasote's actions. "It's just magnificent that the whole family left everything untouched and contacted us right away," she said. "We do plan to send a team to examine the spot later this week."

The ruins are reportedly located in a marshy area along the trail, which was submerged much of last week after heavy spring rainfall.


As if the Academy didn't have enough to worry about Wink

Shonda Noonan... not ringing any bells. We haven't heard of her before, have we?

I just think this is a good sign that the Perplexians aren't totally lost for historical developments without the Cube. They are capable of discoveries without it Razz

Any guesses as to where Newguard Seven Bridges is? I reckon its outside the city, and as the discovery was reported to the Academy it shows they have influence outside the confines of PPC.

Is he thinking it is unusual to have any stonework at right angles, or is he just refering to it not being natural. Do PC folk not build with right angles?

I noticed that quote too and thought it was odd. As you mention, it does almost sound as though building stonework at right angles is somehow a bizarre thing to do.

You would have thought quite a lot of PPC architecture would be right-angle based, considering their cube fixation?

Yeah, and we have no reason to believe otherwise - remember, on the postcard, the buildings look like a typical cityscape on Earth, with plenty of right angles.

Good point! I guess it does just mean that the stonework was un-natural then, and thats why they noticed it.

Looking at it from an archaeological point of view I take that as being some stones at right angles where just pointing up from out of the marshy ground and looked completely out of place to everything. Instead of digging around a bit they contacted the academy who came out and went oooh Smile

Is there an anagram in the headline?

Hi all

The headline reads like a cryptic crossword clue but I am having trouble solving it.

Hikers Discover More Newguard Ruins.

The word "Ruins" could indicate that "More Newguard" could be an anagram. I can identify separately the words "Garden" and "Road" and also the word "Wanderer" which would tie in with the first word of the headline. Could this be the starting point for a series of landmarks that have to be followed - because the article may indicate a series of landmarks. Maybe a London location that I wouldn't know might be the starting point.

Cheers

dthought (but not that deep Embarassed )

Ah well, it was worth a try.

By the way, way back when I was an ircaholic (and the dinosaurs roamed the net) we could only have nicks of 8 characters long, I chose dthought because i couldn't be deep_thought until a later version of mirc. never changed the nick tho' .


Cheers all

I'm assuming the name "Seven Bridges" is referring to Euler's 'Seven Bridges of Konigsberg' puzzle. Which has no solution, but introduced a new theorem, graph theory, and the eventual development of topology.
The paper was published in 1736.
