"And since the page I linked was really just a conglomeration of our sites".

should have read...."And since the page I linked was really just a conglomeration of other sites".

Still looking forward to evidence that any of the sites have been discredited.

Dear mhaze,

Mate I thought you at least took a little pride in quoting decent sources but the fact that you have swallowed hook line and sinker this pathetic site with its anonymous authors makes you look like an imbecile. And no the site isn't “just a conglomeration of other sites” at all.

Just stop and walk away with a modicum of self respect.

I can see why you thought the 'Editor' was Ellen Tucker-Moore because this nom de plume was simply next on the list of supposed contributors, none of whom are real.

Even its facebook link takes you to Mr Mungo Mann yet you still didn't twig?

It is all a house of cards and you fell for it utterly, not questioning once its veracity. My God what have you become? This is the third time in succession you have been caught without pants. I'm starting to worry for you.

Come on mate, lift your game. You were one of the few on here who could push me a little. Right now you are just a caricature.

The old mhaze wouldn't have fallen for this guff. I miss him. Bring him back.

This is my post limit so see you all tomorrow.

Steele,

In truth, I haven't read 'Dark Emu'; I have however perused it but I found it to be pretentious and badly written and badly edited and as it took ages for the local library to get a copy, I no longer have access to it.

Towns of a 1,000 people? yeah, right!!

SR,

Stooking grass before winnowing it is a standard form of gathering, even if that's what Major Mitchell actually observed. It's not farming. So there goes Major Mivhell.

A gathering of hundreds of people was and still is common, for ceremonial purposes, exchange of women, etc. In Sturt's account, and also in Pascoe's garbled account, there is no evidence of actually growing grain, only of women gathering grass-seed,and spending hours grinding it.

In Lindsay's account (aven in Pascoe's version), there is no evidence of any farming, just of a large gathering of people, as is and was very common across Australia.

So no actual evidence of farming. No farm tools, except (according to Pacoe) a metre-long stone tool, weighing perhaps a hundred kilos. Really ?

No farming stories, rituals, harvest dances, etc. No fence-lines. No stone villages, etc. A complete crock.

Farming was initiated in extremely few places on earth - perhaps, with a story in today's Australia about Indian monkeys found in sculptures around the Mediterranean, fewer than ever. Perhaps only in upper mesopotamia, central Mexico and in the New Guinea highlands. And maybe north China

Elizabeth Warren has finally admitted to NOT being an American Indian - thanks to Donald Trump and his BS meter. So, perhaps Pascoe might fess up one day.

The really horrifying thing about these two liars is that it has never been suggested by the powers that be that Warren is a totally unfit person to be running for the position of POTUS, and that Pascoe received literary awards, and his rubbish book is going to be put into schools.

And, the general population has become too zombie-like to protest.
