4 of Iruña Veleia Congress: illuminating, not destroying


17 October 2024 - 09:09

“It’s been 18 years since some 400 graffiti appeared on the excavation, 16 years since he was expelled from the excavation camp of Lurmen without scientific evidence and 4 years since the trial was held without clarifying the subject, we can say that we continue to investigate and those who denied the dating continue to destroy with the excavator Iruña -Veleia.” Thus begins the 4th edition to be held on October 26 in Durango. Presentation of Congress.

I have the case of the Hand of Irulegi as a clear example of clarification and non-destruction: physical and chemical studies, C14, dating tests, total support to the university and institutions… what has happened and does not happen with the grafts of Iruña Veleia.

Journalist Elixabete Garmendia briefly explained the reasons why the case of Iruña Veleia has not been clarified, in relation to what happened in the previous 14 years, in the Berria on 20 January 2020: “It is unfortunate that archaeologists, linguists and historians are not able to share and solve the problem; it is regrettable that the institutions that work in the field of knowledge – Euskaltzaindia, Eusko Ikaskuntza, Jakiunde, universities… – have not collaborated in this”. Words that also serve today.

Those who defend a hypothetical authenticity – I would like to stress the possible word, because neither the authenticity nor the falsehood of graphites has yet been scientifically proven – 4. A conference will be held in Durango on 26 October, in which nine rapporteurs will present their views on different aspects. Among them, Eliseo Gil Zubilhgh,with the intervention of a punished archaeologist. “But I could also have made the reflections of a cursed archaeologist, who is the fate that has touched me in this tragicomedy,” he said in the presentation.

More human rights and less extreme right

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]


Who is responsible for this massacre?

The responsibility lies with the Zionist State of Israel, which, with the help of a large part of the population, soldiers, settlers, etc., is doing ethnic cleansing and genocide against the countries and peoples around it.

“I have withdrawn the rape complaint”

What do the words 'look', 'understand' and 'person' mean?

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]


Newspapers of genocide

They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]

The other side of October 12: reflections of resistance

It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]


When we woke up on February 8, 2024, you were hugging the dinosaur.
There are people who "embrace" capitalism without realizing that the problem is in the same system; in the constant search for growth on a limited planet. All forms of intensive energy production are being swallowed up in the world.

Small peoples with life!

In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]
