[@thomilo44]

This was extremely interesting. I'm glad this got recommended to me. I really like your detailed explanation, and you have a great reading voice.

[@Archaeology101Lectures]

@thomilo44 you are very kind, thank you :)

[@rogercroft3218]

A very good overview. Thanks.
My favourite part of this hoax has always been the fossilised cricket bat.

[@TexRenner]

Thank you. I had always ignored the whole affair, preferring to concentrate on the accepted science. This investigation into of how it happened is really very interesting.

[@Gorboduc]

The fact that he named all his "discoveries" after himself is... a trifle suspicious. 🤔
