<HTML>That being said the two sites off the west coast of India are the true stuff of legend. Even getting mainstream science to entertain the ideas about sunken cities and legend connections is a big job. Not trying to finish the alternative story. Only to get its possible valid points to the table. Your response reminds me of the mainstream reaction to Lanse Meadows. Viking sagas (read that legends) dismissed out of hand. In 1898 when a replica Knar showed up in NYC harbor the poor Norsemen ended up in jail. They had dared challange the myth of Columbus. The site was found in 1960 and even today it get short shrift from mainstream science. A blip-oops but so what ignore it. Additionally it was determined that it was a quick jaunt in and out. Evidence that it was boat repair facility is ignored in passing. Additional evidence that it may have been operational up until 1400 AD is not mentioned. It has become an asterik so the mainstreamstory is not disturbed. I hope the Englisman Menzies doesn't come to NYC after his book is published. To suggest that the man knew where he was going and used copied maps. Horrors. Actually the main point I would make is that the story is not finished. There is no mainstream or alternative history. Just clues and facts to be found and of course then Revision. Much more interesting than the end of history.</HTML>
