[quote=IMOTHEP,230918]Hi CHRISWAUGHBJ If you want my advice, I wouldn't believe everything you read on the net. Internet is a powerful tool, but is also open to individual speculation which most of the times is not very helpful. The fact that you can find on the net some white nationalist crackpot group trying to link the Solutreans presence in America is irrelevant. The people who have worked on the Solutreans research are real academics, and they have presented a powerful case relying on genetics and anthropology. If you want a starting point to make up your on mind about the subject, I would suggest watching a 2002 documentary produced by the BBC called "Stone Age Columbus". You can read the synopsis of the program here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2002/columbus.shtml Finally, concerning the Menzies story, I have no doubt that it was a self-promotion stunt, which can only be qualified as fiction. I say that being an Historian myself who have studied that period of history for the last 20 years. [/quote]
