If you make a claim, it's your job to support it...

Well, Mouse, its like this. With very little trouble, anyone can find a single quotation by a single author to support any sort of lunatic idea that comes down the pike. You need only refer to the Simple Seeker's bloviation for examples.

History - not being an exact science- is pretty much about how the preponderance of evidence comes down. And a lot of this evidence is in primary sources rather than in popular works.

There isn't room this forum to post vast quantities of this information - evidence, if you like - so I've posted where this evidence can be found.

If that ain't enough, well, sorry, but I can't spoon feed everyone and wipe everyone's ass like Simple wants me to.
