in 1882 Ignatius Donnelly a Minnesota congressman wrote the book that launched every modern Atlantis theory -- long before Graham Hancock or Randall Carlson entered the debate.

You're probably overthinking this. I've been using CAIS for my radiocarbon dates for well over a decade. The person responsible for this report is not a native English speaker, which may explain some of the grammar and typo issues. The presence of foraminifera in resin is probably just evidence that the sample was contaminated. CAIS was just processing the sample that was sent to them. I think the real problem is the source of the sample, i.e. Greer.

@MickWest @AlBonDeega You did say it was fraud. You accused them of cutting and pasting over the results.

You laugh but REH and Hancock were drawing on some of the same sources - Donnelly, Theosophy, early speculative fiction, etc. And both can spin a good yarn. Difference is only one of them pretends it's true.

@KUHoopes @jeffshanks Cool. I wasn't serious but what the hell.
