*smile*...don't see any artifacts there. I see references to 'some' archeological discoveries, mixed with some legends, apocryphal writings, creative speculations and big 'what ifs'......it is a very interesting way of writing--point out some obvious truths and accepted 'facts' and then slip in some UN-accepted quasi-fact as being 'similar'.....until belief and fact are sort of mushed together so well that it is tempting to just surrender and nod in agreement. I wish it were that easy.
