Found or planted, the context is NOT pre-Columbian, it could have been placed there by spanish explorers or someone who got the head from Spanish explorers.
Robert Marx and his White Gods - no evidence of a ship, various other problems a search on sci.archaeology on Usenet will show, could have been in ballast.

Looks like they are getting a lot of publicity, but it's concerning that Freund (whose academic discipline is history, not archaeology - also a Rabbi) suggests the Atlanteans may have founded civilization ]. See also Eric Cline's review of a booklet of his . Freund and his colleagues are advisors to Simcha Jacobovici [http://robertcargill.com/2011/01/07/eric-cline-reviews-richard-freu

Commenting on the coins claim in the article.
From Pre-Columbian Old World Coins in America: An Examination of the Evidence : Jeremiah F. Epstein
Bar Kokhba coins were minted during a very short period, ca. A.D. 132-35, and relatively few were produced, the discovery of three within the same state calls for comment. In view of the ever-present possibility of counterfeits, I sent a photocopy of

Can anyone tell me what Pyramid: Beyond Imagination by Kevin Jackson and Jonathan Stamp says on page 153 about Pi? I'm trying to ensure that Wikipedia articles that discuss Pi and the GP make it clear that there is a dispute about whether the builders knew Pi, and so far failing,as there is an anonymous editor who doesn't want a couple of articles to show that there is any disagreement

I've always thought I had a built in clock (and that I'm not the only one). A few days ago I woke up thinking "it's 5:45", looked at my clock, and indeed it was 5:45. As I was sleeping so that I had to lift my body up to see the clock, and had a duvet cover (no duvet) completely over my head anyway, there's no way I could have seen the clock when I woke up.

Our article on Khafra - - now calls him 'Khafra' or Rachaf, and I'm assured that Rachaf is the up to date way of spelling it by an editor, but I can't find any sources. Am I missing something or? This certainly isn't my field, so I need help here. Thanks.
