Since you simply will not invest in doing the math (not much at all) which
is an unavoidable part of any age estimate, how will you come to believe you
have the truth you hope for when it appears? Polling your anonymous
"experts" is not an acceptable answer --- at least for me --- I'm not into
anonymous authorities. That seems to leave just dna age estimates which
agree with your archaeology theories, but that has the problem of relating
arrow heads, jewelry, and other cultural artifacts dug out of the ground
with the ancient ydna markers which were present at the same time. You seem
reduced to bones and new technology to read any ydna still in the ancient
bones. Ken
