Is Mise,

Actually Foxy's quote should be read in full on page 28.
Which was followed up with two links further
down the page providing the evidence.

Read the book and things will become clearer for you.
In the meantime stop with the nit-picking. You're
looking silly.

Foxy, you ask too much! "read the book"! Its unapproved literature! It appears only Steele, Yourself and I have read the book. The Usual Suspects are chattering on about something they are totally clueless with.

Foxy,

You used the quote as evidence and the quote is stupid.

That's the point.

I'll read the book when it's available at my local library.

Is Mise,

No. I did not use the quote as evidence.

You interpreted it as evidence.

I said read the book and gave you two
links as evidence. The quote also indicated
that there were other sources used apart from
the diaries of explorers. And as has been
explained to you - Pascoe used more than just
the one source.

"Read the book".

I have. Which is why I know its pulp for the masses who so want it to be true. I've seen many of these things over the decades from von Daniken to Jared Diamond. They come, they flash across the culture, cooler heads examine and tear the thesis apart and we all go back to reality.

In terms of reading, might I suggest (again) that getting your views second-hand is rarely a good idea. I posted a link previously to Sturt's journals. Read them to see what Sturt really says about the natives rather than what Pascoe says he says. Read Sturt to see that the myriad primitive tribes were nomadic (ie had no fixed abode).

But only read Sturt if you're prepared to have your fondest wishes denied.

mhaze,

BRAVO, BRAVO.
Sorry I got a little carried away there for a moment.
But with good reason.
I have been preaching the same gospel, but probably not as succinctly as you, because I keep getting 'blow-back's'.
Anyway there are so many questions, even watching his video presentations only left me still with questions.
One question I have continually asked is, if there is evidence of house like structures such as the rock circles, who is to say they were not made by another race attempting to settle down but were wiped out by the blacks.
Once having rid themselves of these 'invaders', why did they not carry on developing their culture to a standard similar to the rest of the world?
Also where is the evidence of any means of doing all these wonderous things they are being praised for (tools)?
There are a group of jelly brained experts on OLO who believe that the blacks were a fun loving mild and harmless bunch.
Well try telling that to Captain Willem Janszoon from the good ship Duyfken.
He lost over a dozen men at the hands of the blacks whilst attempting to land over the course of three attempts, to re-stock their ship with food and water.
There are so many instances of the blacks being not only savages but aggressive ones at that, and that is a matter of record, but only if you want the truth.
No there is no doubt that these authors and their subsequent publications are, at best theories, at worst, fabrications.
So unless we get better proof of these archeological, history changing finds, I'm sorry but these are just a group of sad bored little men trying to grab some attention, and belong to the 'look at moi' club.
And that most certainly includes those moronic judges, for their decision to give total credence to these authors without real and serious vetting.
