I am very sorry to hear of your loss, Jon -- just hold on to what must be marvelous memories of a wonderful man. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Cyclone Covery also thought he'd discovered a 'Roman Jewish settlement' in Tucson. Funnily enough, Barry Fell was among those who proved him to be wrong. That linguistics bit at the bottom, which he sees as a clincher, is also nonsense. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
I'm off to bed now, but it's not in the index and the book is 1992, earlier than the articles on my web site.by DougWeller - Ancient History
The friend who alerted me of this has sent me the following summary: There is a new report out about the Bat Creek Stone allegedly recovered from Bat Creek Burial Mound 3 in Tennessee by John W. Emmert in 1889. The original report about the discovery was published by Cyrus Thomas in 1894 in Report on the Mound Explorations of the Bureau of Ethnology. Robert C. Mainfort, Jr. and Mary L. Kwas haby DougWeller - Ancient History
People may know that I have several articles on my web site on the Bat Creek Stone. There is a new article by the authors of two of the articles I have in the current issue of American Antiquity, (Vol. 69, Nol. 4, October 2004) debunking the Bat Creek Stone. The Bat Creek Stone Revisited: a Fraud Exposed, by Robert C. Mainfort, Jr. and Mary L. Kwas, pp. 761-770. The thrust of this is thaby DougWeller - Ancient History

Everything we assumed to know? Why is that? And if Flores really did exist more recently (and I mean in the last few centuries as some stories have it), does that prove anything about mythology? Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
I don't think it is accurate at all to call this writing. This is an early use of symbols, fine. But writing? Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

"Floating islands: in 1969, a floating island of vegetation 13 meters across containing 10-15 trees up to 12 meters tall drifted 100 miles from eastern Cuba in 11 days. Over the course of geologic time, many such floating islands can be expected to drift and reach isolated islands. In September 1995, two back to back hurricanes occurred in the Caribbean region.

Alan, I believe it was 12 miles, not 17. But I can't find a definitive source for any figures. Are you also sure that natural rafts have been ruled out? Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
THe stegodonts got there probably by swimming, and I don't think anyone thinks that they were really ocean going! Wouldn't Homo Erectus's route to Flores have been via Asia? Where would be the open water? Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Yep, I'm terminating this thread now. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Steve, I hope you are kidding. He is simply pointing out that Bin Laden says, roughly, that the WTC towers were targetted because the US was involved in destroying towers in Lebanon. Tit for tat, and nothing mystical. And I think that in this case Bin Laden is telling the truth. The towers would be residential tower blocks in Beirut I understand.

I don't see how this helps 'multiple sites'. And there is no linear view. Homo sapiens sapiens is not a descendant of homo neanderthalis, although both existed a the same time. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

We had a catastrophic hard disc crash (as did the Council for British Archaeology in fact, although the crashes weren't related). We have one new article up, Burying the White Gods, and hope to have everything back (bar a couple of months of messages) by the new year. Doug Wellerby DougWeller - Ancient History
But the description indicates that the drawn faces are very much reconstructions. "Preliminary analysis shows that the eerie-looking face consists of a prominent raised nose, the left eye and what might be eyelashes, said Roselyn Kumar of the University of the South Pacific’s Institute of Applied Sciences. There are also designs that suggest what might be head-hair, and crescenby DougWeller - Ancient History
What exactly does he say? Does he give a refernce? A search of the web using about 10 search engines turns up nothing. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
The Hebrews were probably Canaanites, the hebiru/apiru are not the same as Hebrews. Wish we had our archives back. But Dave L is right, let's not go there. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Just a side comment, I could see 8 of those as real smilies in my email cient, TheBat! And if I tried, could probably see all of them. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Somewhere I've got a military analysis of the struggle against Cortes. It certainly didn't appear from what I read that the Indians were concerned about anything but the military aspects of the struggle. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
Typical. Anyway, does an embargo have legal force? And could he sue you - wouldn't he have to sue whoever gave the book to you, not you? Thanks for the explanation. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
