The events surrounding the excavation site in Kalkriese dubious from the start. In any case, they hold that the determination was premature for the Varus battle, as to date not a single proof of the presence of Varus, but no later than 1996, however some are. The label "Varus Battle", decorate with which the visiting team excavating is, in my opinion, the slippers were stolen from commercial interests out.
must declare one that the "company", the brand, "Varus Battle" assign Kalkriese, particularly the regional and tourism development and its own "scientific community" is used. Whether that conduct justifies a tax profit, was once an open question, because this is examined ex officio by the tax authorities. A non-profit academic work because I personally would deny in this case because the methods used in relation to important results are not scientific.
Whether that unethical behavior is punishable, however, one must - subject to further findings of the investigating authorities - but doubt it. The scandalous behavior defies very reason of a criminal prosecution, not because it can be demonstrated with absolute certainty that funding would not have been paid without the alleged Varus battlefield and who was responsible, at what times each.
was why I paid no display and I intend not to do so. I trust that, in the meantime begun scientific self-cleaning process continues under increasing public pressure on. We must not fail to recognize that Kalkriese claimed as the "site of the Varus battle," even by the scientists there anymore, but now some even doubted is open.
