Re: Anatase Myth

STILL NO ANSWER. What's the problem Mrs. Johannsen?

You wrote:

Need I really remind you all that the Alp sand used to dry ink and the
clay which is one part in the Medieval(and Ancient) color production
contains anatase

I responded...

Thanks for the reminder. A few questions come to mind. Perhaps you
could answer them...hopefully with some specificity, please?

(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?
