Dear List, An article about Penguins (!!) may be of interest to list members as it deals with rates of molecular evolution and suggests that dating may be...
The List being sleepy, Richard Sproat passes on this South Asian news item hot off the press from Reuters: "Villagers confine rare turtle, offer prayers" ...
Hot news, it seems. VANISHED PERSIAN ARMY SAID FOUND IN DESERT Bones, jewelry and weapons found in Egyptian desert may be the remains of Cambyses' army that...
[Mod. note. I'll pass your claim onto Sproat, Trudy. However, you are forgetting that *all* higher civilization flowed out of India, including all Mesopotamian...
Well, since the author came from a "respectable" family, I guess I stand (or sit) corrected. :-) Trudy ___________________ Trudy Kawami wrote: [Mod. note. I'll...

I was skeptical when I heard the first reports, but the metal finds, especially the trilobite arrow head and the earring, are very convincing. They are...

Quick correction: Alfredo and Angelo [not Antonio] Castiglione. Their past claims have been heavily hyped as well. - Steve. On Nov 13, 2009, at 4:50 PM, Steve...
Dear Steve, Your treatment of the topic is - pardon the expression - cruel & unusual. But, joke aside. Do you suspect the Castiglione Bros. could have gone as...
On my harsh critique of the claimed finds here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Indo-Eurasian_research/message/13226 ... Do pop documentary makers ever do such...
Probably enough already on this newest fake archaeology. But since it is the weekend, take a look at scenes from some of the Castiglione brothers' early...
[Mod. note. He already has commented on them, Joanna -- quoted in full in my original post. In brief, he writes that "recent reports published in newspapers,...
Sensationalism or not... Since the story is that Kambyses' army succumbed to a sand storm (a kind of dry drowning), we would expect to find them in groups...

Coincidentically I found a good overview, with illustrations, in French, just yesterday. Can serve as introduction to newcomers to the issue. But instead of...
No end to epiphanous moments. Six years ago a speaking fish (a carp, to be exact), warned the citizens of NY of the impending Apocalypse, but, of course, to no...
Well, Steve, no surprise: These are finds of *texts*, not of spectacular, visually appealing archeological objects. How can you hype texts in the press? No...
Dear Francesco, Re. your message here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Indo-Eurasian_research/message/13241 The anthropomorphization of non-human entitites...
Dear Francesco, First reaction to the reaction of your correspondent. The phrase "age-old unbroken Indian spirituality" seems to mirror the idea of a sharp...
