[quote=CHETWYND,39255]Having read the article by Michael King, I also read the next attached article which seems to allow for a much more open minded approach to this topic. I see that Menzies is slated as a "Retired Submariner" as if such a thing precluded the man from having anything worthwhile to contribute! Let me remind you that Albert Einstein was a humble clerk working in a patents office. I fail to see the connection between an individuals working environment and their ability to test the perceived wisdom of "Historians" and many others who have got so many things wrong in the past, but who have defended their positions to their dying breath even after irrefutable evidence contrary to their particular beliefs has been substantiated. I do not say that Menzies is right or wrong. I simply say that much of what he has to say has an inkling of possibility and should be welcomed as a new theatre for investigation in an otherwise rather boring and predictable perspective on the movement of peoples around the world. The recent discovery of a totally new human species on the island of Flores in Indonesia (The so called "Hobbits") should be a warning against taking hard and fast stands against new ideas. Even if they do seem far fetched.[/quote]
