Pages and pages of orthodox and radical speculation, learned articles etc about the Etymology of the Thames and it turns out to be yet another (boring) DON River.

Who would have thought it?

It just isn't special at all.

I am willing to put a small sum of money on this being the only recorded use of the Anglo-Saxon personal name, Gisla.

If you refer to The Megalithic Empire, 'fire-breathing' dragons are furnaces.

The mining connection, not unique to Wales of course, seems a good deal more convincing, as a Bronze Age phenomenon (mis)remembered, than Ms McGregor's somewhat quaint folkloric explanation.

Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and Chinese folklore. The dragons have many animal-like forms such as turtles, fish, and imaginary creatures, but they are most commonly depicted as snake-like with four legs. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang ("Chinese phoenix").

Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it. With this, the Emperor of China usually used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength.[1]

In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to a dragon, while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other, disesteemed creatures, such as a worm. A number of Chinese proverbs and idioms feature references to a dragon, for example: "Hoping one's son will become a dragon" (望子成龍(望子成龙), wàng zǐ chéng lóng i.e. Hoping one's son to transform into a dragon).


I am associating dragons with water.....

Furnace=Phoenix

Phoenicians were early metal workers/traders. According to orthodoxy, they expanded throughout the Mediterranean and are associated with metal-rich regions such as Sardinia, Cyprus, the Iberian Peninsula etc

There is a lot of speculation on on who they were.

DN Tribes.....

According to orthodoxy the Dumnonii from South Western Britain may have been related in some way to the Damnonii, from South Scotland, Brittany and also the Irish tribe(s) of that name (the 'fir Domnainn').

Orthodoxy says the names stems from a Pre-Celtic (eh) word (its bogus origin theory), Damnoni literally meaning 'men under care of the goddess of the deep', and this generally gets taken into the suggestion that they were... err.... a "lowland tribe". It could, if you dig deeper, mean that the Damnoni were originally stream and later seam miners.

Happily for orthodoxy this lowland/high up distinction means that they cannot be confused with any surrounding DN Dun Don hillforts as this either would blow a hole in the orthodox idea of various ancient tribes ...or orthodox DN etymology of hillforts, as the hillforts (like Tescos) are of course more widely spread around the UK..

Heavenly messengers forbid.

DN hillforts are rather surprisingly not related to DN tribes (according to orthodoxy)

Clocks go clockwise, supposedly as clockmakers copy the direction the sun travels over a sundial. Could that mean anti clockwise spirals signify backwards circular time, eg ancestor worship?

Except it's time and space. That's it. It's a linear ripple.
