>>Okay: the Sitchin.com article starts off with an ignorant assertion that the Olmec heads are depictions of 'black Africans'. This person claims to have visited South America several times, but has apparently never looked at any of the native people, quite a few of whom bear similar features to those portrayed on the artistically exaggerated sculptural faces. Full lips and short noses are not restricted to one part of the world.<<

Sorry to inform you that I don't care about Sitchin and agree with virtually nothing he says. I rank him up with Velikovsky. A kook. I borrowed his his article for the pic. Just because I went to someone's site does not mean I subscribe to that person's views. I do an image search and find one that I think helps me out and I use it. I don't care where it comes from. I don't care about the Olmec heads or who they represent. That's why I haven't mentioned them. You did in order to attack me but I don't subscribe to Sitchin's views so that was a wasted effort. I do not believe in ancient astronauts. Or aliens, for that matter.

>>The little 'elephant' artifact, which he says was in the museum and subsequently disappeared may have been removed because it was found to be a modern pot.<<

May have been? Was it or wasn't it? Don't try to pass off speculation as fact. I'll always catch that. And don't act like that was the only piece of evidence I offered.   Please feel free to explain the rest of them.

>>The JSTOR article, I can only read the first page, but that says the first medal had a date, 1486, engraved on it - so the First nations people were also using arabic numerals to date their art at the time?<<

They might have if they were Arabs. Think that's ridiculous? Tell it to Thor Hyerdahl because he believes the Mexican god-hero Viracocha was "Arabo-Semitic." And he's not alone by a long shot.

>>As for the article defending Barry Fell - see here, and with actual site photographs:<<

This is anti-Barry Fell. It's not a critique of what I showed. Once again, I give you the images and you attack names that appear in the article when I was showing PICTURES THAT YOU REQUESTED TO SEE MORE OF. One more time--it was an image search and nothing more. I showed you depictions of what certainly appear to be elephants and you response is "Barry Fell is stupid." Well maybe he is. I don't give a damn what he thinks. I never even heard of him before today. We call that an ad hominem attack. The refuge of the clueless.

>>Your next post, linking to the Dighton rock: there's not much mystery as to its origins. Come to Kedgi in Nova Scotia and we could show you tons of First Nations petroglyphs, along with the added graffitti of the French, the English, and anyone else who passed this way.<<

Well, we KNOW that!!! We're asking specifically who it was!! Good god!

>>The Long Head Indians, as other tribes in other parts of the world, achieved the look by binding or flattening with boards the heads of their babies. When they stopped doing that, they became round heads.<<

Uhhh...no, sorry. Longheads are a specific classification of Indians who do not exist anymore. I've known about them since I was a teen.

>>Sorry, I'm in a debunking state of mind.<<

Me too. That's why I debunked you.

>>I like mysteries<<

Then maybe you'd like to take stab at the Waldseemuller map you conveniently didn't mention.
