It seems that the ancient Britons got the earliest wheat directly from Noah's Arch ...
I see that two of our citizens who are keen to cut off people's heads have both been previously interviewed/ processed by the Secret Service.
I wonder whether these fact are linked?

@Walter Hinteler,
Only back then there were no British Isles, and no English channel either.
Have you noticed though, every time scientists/ archaeologists discover something; a fragment of bone here, a few grains of what might have been wheat there, wide-ranging, earth-shattering and sweeping theories are never far behind. Then they discover another bit of something somewhere else and it all changes. Or gets "revised" or "updated".
