"Now, with the discussion widening to include Easter Island and the Pacific, we really are in Thor Heyerdahl territory. "

All of that you are saying is quite far out. I will have to get into that TH link eventually.

Ancient navigation was a reality but how ancient I can't tell. If it really was that ancient (between 20,000-10,000 or even earlier if we really want to make the earlier Americans the 'second') then all that is needed now is the beginning of archaeological corroboration for his theories.

It is certainly a very strong possibility. Climate events may also have sparked human movements across the oceans.

I must admit I knew about the thread that Hob mentions but never really got into it. Far too much for my general lack of time. I will bookmark it though. Perhaps we are going in circles with things already said there.

Thor Heyerdahl was no Daniken or Hancock. He set out to prove his theories the hard way. For a glimpse just browse:

>Far too much for my general lack of time

I know that feeling. I'm getting it right now with this thread. I wanna read it, I wanna comment, but it takes ages, and by the time I've read even half of it, let alone have a bit ponder about what's been said etc, it's always time to jump up and do stuff.

Hasten the day of the consumer-grade time manipulation device.

Glad you decided to return G'phungus, it's always nice to read your ideas.
