You will find my name cropping up in discussions of the KRS from time
to time. :-)
I'm currently more or less neutral as to the authenticity of the KRS,
although if I have to bet, I will bet that it turns out to be
authentic. But resolving that is a long way off.
Ordinarily I would be content to largely sit on the sidelines and pick
up new information as it emerges. One of the best sources of
information on the Internet is Michael Zalar whose home page is
http://www.geocities.com/thetropics/island/3634/index2.html Michael
has carefully researched the subject and generally knows what he is
talking about.
What usually brings me into the argument are the individuals who come
leaping in from the side lines declaring the KRS to be a fake with
their conclusion based either on almost total ignorance or, worse,
gross misinformation. In some ways its fascinating to watch their
theories develop as they learn more about the history of the KRS.
Perhaps the most frustrating people are those who have their mind made
up from the outset. Usually they are determined that the KRS is a
fake, although there are one or two that are determined that it is
genuine. Either way, facts don't affect their thinking and truth tends
to be a casualty in the discussions which ensue.
Why is the KRS important? My personal view is that if the KRS is found
to be genuine it is likely to help precipitate a tectonic shift in
thinking about the pre-Columbian history of North America.
