Political archeology is an endlessly fascinating subject, popularized by novelists andfilmmakers.
Nazis launched bizarre, pseudoscientific expeditions to unearth proof of an Aryan race of superior beings, or to get their hands on objects believed to possess mysterious powers.

Carbon Confidential....
Will Scotland rule the waves?
The world's largest wave farm is to be built off the Western Isles in a major boost to Scotlsnd's aspirations to becoming a world leader in renewable energy.
The Siadar Wave Energy Project will be a 4 MW wave farm, to be built by npower Renewables and Wavegen, 400 metres off the shore of Siadar Bay, in Lewis, Scotland. The project aims to provide enough energy to power about 1,800 homes.
It will be the world's largest wave farm, larger than the Pelamis station in Portugal, the only other commercial-scale wave farm.
The £30 million project received Scottish Government approval on 22 January 2009, and is planned to open in 2011.
The wave station will be based on oscillating water column technology. A 200 metre causeway will be constructed, and a breakwater with 10 concrete caissons, containing 36 to 40 Wells turbines, placed on the seabed.
