"I think as science advances, it will become more and more evident that we have more in common with each other than any of us realized a few decades ago."

As a Norwegian American, I must say that I've been impressed with Thor's work, which I began looking at by reading 'The Ra Expedition' many years ago. That said, I'm continually amazed at the "concrete conclusions" some of these people arrive at. The fact that humanity has a commonality was impressed upon me as a small child, in Sunday school. (see the Book of Genesis)......

Anyway, I didn't realize that Thor was still alive, so I learned something new today! Good post!

There are more than a few theories that put the genesis of mankind in eastern Anatolia, ie; betweeen the Black and Caspian Seas. Linguistic tracing shows that nearly ALL languages can be traced backwards to this region.

This would bode particularly well for the Genesis account of Noah's flood and the sudden emergence of peoples from this region.

For the Norwegians to trace their ancestry to this region is entirely plausible as is the Irish having legends of Scythian forebears from western Anatolia. Dont forget, the most ancient known civilizations of Sumeria and Babylon are adjacent to this region.
