I think Non Dua Natura brought up some good points, and did so in a respectful and inquisitive manner that didn't seem in any way rude or argumentative to me. How can you not expect people to discuss the topic? It is inevitable that discussion will happen, and that everyone isn't going to agree when it does. That doesn't mean we need to be so cold about it. There is plenty to discuss civilly

Anyways, back on topic- have you ever considered that it may be a combination of the two possibilities you presented, Albert? This is an interesting question to me, especially having followed Hancock's work on ancient civilizations. It seems to me that there is a number of possibilities, and that more than one could have a level of truth to them at the same time.
