I attended a lecture last night at the Minnesota Science Museum (currently hosting the Wydah exhibit) presented by Barry Clifford. Simply amazing to hear him spin his tales! Also incredible to think that he still has huge blocks of concretions that still have artifacts yet to be uncovered!! Who knows what secrets will be revealed in the future (Barry mentioned that his goal is to open some of these concretions before an audience)? Barry also brought the Teja Ba ring to join the collection on display! What I found most intriguing about the lecture was the work that Barry Clifford and his team are doing in Madagascar. They have discovered 3 shipwrecks near twin islands known as the Isle of women and the Isle of pirates along with a series of tunnels. One of the shipwrecks is believed to be Captain Kidd’s Adventure Galley. I imagine we will see some amazing artifacts brought into the light of day from that location! The Madagascar site was also the location for a recent TV special (I have no idea what channel). Me mentioned something about a 13th century crucifix from Paris as one of the items discovered! If you ever get the chance to hear Barry Clifford speak I highly recommend you do so. You will be both educated and entertained!
