(regarding anatase in kaolin clay:)

That leaves us with the
quantitatively trivial anatase found in clays and soils, most notably
kaolins. The problem here, of course, is that the anatase seen on the
map does not have any clay minerals associated with it nor even the
chemicals needed (Al, Si) in the amounts necessary. I have requested
several times that those who advocate a natural source offer an
explanation for how their natural anatase could be so com pletely
separated from the bulk of the material with which it is found and
yet appear as seen on the Map. So far, they have not done so. Until
they do so most people will see immediately that their "explanation"


(= it's found in nature!) is laughable. Based on past performance,
we need not expect them to provide anything but more fog and more
heat, but no light.


Dear Ken;

You have stated the argument clearly and
concisely, and most people would be convinced
by now, of the  truth that anatase of the s ize (and
near-uniformity of size) that is found in the ink
of the VM is not to be found in nature.  (Of course,
there are others who wouldn't hesitate to argue with
the Almighty, if the fiery finger wrote, on the wall,
something that didn't fit their mind set.)

You also maintain that there is no historically
documented known way to separate out, from
somewhat larger and smaller anatase particles,
or from the other material matrices in which
they might be found (as in kaolin clays), the
nearly uniform tiny particles of the required
size, as found in the VM.  It is this last which,
I believe, must be carefully reconsidered.

While I hate to prolong what is indefensible,
I've recently been informed by a well known
and renowned (not to mention famous) historian
of veterinary medicine, of a little-known method
that may have accomplished just (precisely)
such a separation.  (I regret I'm not at liberty
to disclose her name; she's preparing an article,
and doesn't want anyone stealing her material.)

She has this manuscript with an ancient remedy
for treating bovine digestive disorders. It was
used with the semi-domesticated but lately-
extinct Aurochs Borealis or Scandinavian
forest bull.

It describes how 2 or so pounds of partially
liquefied kaolin was force-fed to these beasts,
as a sort of purgative, and for the most part,
it would pass in the usual way.

Now, the interesting part, for us, is a section
describing in detail how a type of medication
(for humans) was prepared from bits of the
intestines of these same animals which had been
so treated.

This method, dated to at least the late 13th century,
involves burning dried sections of the intestine,
and then purifying the smoke thusly produced.
The smoke is driven by a bellows through a
container of something like aquavit, in which
most of the organic materials and impurities
dissolved, or settled out.  The alcohol was burned
off, and a portion of what remained was then
slung round in an ink pot (!) at the end of  a rope,
by a succession of religious acolytes.  They
continued slinging it (and chanting) for some
length of time, in what I take to be a very early
version of a centrifuge.

My theory is, as the kaolin passed through
the intestine, the very smallest particles, which
would include those of anatase, would, without
a doubt, adhere to, or actually lodge within,
the tiny channels and pores of the intestinal walls.

Charring the partially cleaned intestines and
slinging the reduced, blown smoke residue, as
described above, would accomplish the transfer
of only the very  tiniest anatase particles to the
ink pot where it might remain, along with some
carbon and very little else).

After that, the stuff might easily, but accidently,
have been mistaken for ink, for one stunning project,
and THAT's why only a single document appears
to exist, on which this 'ink' was utilized.

Whew! I hope you followed all that, and I'm
already confident of your agreement that this is
just (precisely) what happened.  If you don't,
you're just (merely) wrong!

Certain other folks around here are well known
for blowing smoke and for slinging bull***, so
there's no reason to doubt that this explanation
will handily serve their needs.

Best Regards, and Good Night on that.

Loyd,
Do you know what they did with the used ink pots?
Is it possible that one came in the possession of a
certain scribe? I am asking this because, as you know,
the only weak point in Ingers proof of anatase contamination
via the quill in an empty pot is the need for ancient and
exotic pottery.
