Your demand for "specifics" was a demand to replay several years of
discussion on this group, since you like to pretend that no such
examination of particular points of Heyerdahl's theory has taken place.
Nobody else is interested in going over all that stuff again. If you
have a particular point which has not been previously discussed, or on
which you have some new evidence, feel free to bring it up.
