I’ve read it well enough to know that there was a series of discoveries, not just one.

No more than a day? Wow. How many archaeological digs these days would be that open?

Have you reason to believe that the terms of employment included turning a blind eye to (or actively engaging in) forgery? Do you have any reason to believe that Perring and Mash and Hill and Raven and Brettell and others were the kind of people who would just go along with that? Isn’t that just a very convenient assumption?

I suggest that you need to read more widely about the use of gunpowder (and other methods which would be entirely unacceptable today). I am entirely serious, having looked into the matter. In this case empiricism is recommended.

Yes, and having read Sitchin, I recognise second-hand, third-hand, fourth-hand Sitchin when I see it. Not everyone does. Theres a lot of it on the ’net. Some mistake it for their own original thoughts.

Where exactly is the objective science and logic in that remark?

The only pass I give Vyse is that resulting from having examined the allegations critically and finding them wanting.
