<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EWC3, post: 4318997, member: 93416&quot;]Its now very clear that your aim is to defend professional archaeology without regard to the mangling of evidence that entails. I make two points:</p><p><br /></p><p>DA &gt; “No slur intended”</p><p><br /></p><p>This edition of the SAA journal is almost entirely devoted to slurring people supposedly associated with what the authors call “spooky archaeology”. Authors implying along the way it is “poisonous” and “evil”. How is that not a slur?</p><p><br /></p><p>DA &gt; &quot;your ignorance of the subject and not knowing of Baum&#039;s involvement and his connection to &#039;spooky archaeology’.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I said the supposed link was “dubious”, and you deduce I did not know about it? That is logically incompetent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Baum joined the Theosophical society in 1892. So what? Edison joined it in 1878. William James joined it in 1882. These are not “fringe” people. James was widely regarded as top philosopher in the US – operating from a Harvard base. Is there any evidence that any of these guys defended theories about ancient aliens? I have yet to see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hancock is playing a game with the credulous, but so is Hoopos. My advise is: steer clear of both of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
