Groundbreaking study: Ancient tin ingots found in Israel were mined in England

***like a lot of fringe authors, he's an example of "when your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."***

A very cogent and thorough response. As far as I know a forensic geologist could be a grower of pet rocks; somehow I thought Wolter might analyze the structure of Great Lakes tin just as this posted story documents. I am not surprised that he is not properly trained to follow his declared discipline. He did a show about the legendary little people that supposedly settled Hawaii. It quickly became obvious that it was a scam to get an all expenses paid family vacation to Hawaii. Evidence of a low stone wall beside a road was beyond ridiculous.

You might find Bailey's book provocative and worthy of consideration. I am an amateur linguist and appreciate his efforts at comparative language elements. Drawing conclusions from such analysis is questionable but, as I say, it is provocative.

I had forgotten about the possible Roman ship in Brazil's Bay of Jars; a deep dive unmanned remote might prove useful. Probably no one will finance such a venture... too controversial. That was a central principle in my unpublished book that I mentioned a while back.
