Thanks.

However, I am not a proponent of the YDIH (YD IMPACT Hypothesis).

I simply referred to the YDE - the YD EVENT.

As indicated in my thesis, I posit that the YDE involves the occurrence of a global cataclysm, i.e. slopping of oceans over neighbouring land masses - raising sea levels around Egypt by 120-180m.

Even though causation is outside the scope of my thesis, I remain wholly unconvinced by the hypothesis that the YDE is caused by an impact (or CME, etc.). So, I am quite unsurprised that the YDIH can be easily argued against. On the other hand, I suspect it will attract many proponents and grow in popularity.

More supporting material! Excellent. :-)

Thanks.

This is according to the long established scientific consensus.

However, my thesis provides an explanation based on a premise that the GP IS an antediluvian structure (built over a dozen millennia ago).

Consequently, I place warnings early on, in consideration of those who'd prefer to hold with the scientific consensus.

Yes, it's a bit heretical, a la heliocentricity vs geocentricity. :-)
