Re: The Vinland Map's Ink

Be that as it may, you have STILL not answered even one of my
questions. Why not? What are you afraid of if all that you assert to us
is true? Please, answer the questions. If you cannot, your position is
totally untenable!

1) Specifically, where has this anatase been described so that we can
be sure that it is like that seen on the Vinland Map? Wouldn't one need
an electron microscope to see it clearly for accurate comparison. After
all, a simple reminder from you doesn't describe the material, does it?


(2) If we see the Alp anatase in the ink, why don't we also see the Alp
sand or the clay too? How is that possible? Doesn't it seem strange
that one sees the anatase but not the sand that is sprinkled on the ink
with it?

(3) Can you help us by pointing, specifically, to a few other medieval
documents that have sand (any kind) remaining on them?

(4) Who is your expert who did his/her dissertation on "mineral
crystals" and anatase sands?

Can't you answer even one of my questions?
