   …the history of our species goes back 200,000 years…Homo Sapiens. These educated idiots in their ivory towers at Cal State Dominguez Hills are lying to us. Glenn Hening says the history of Peruvian surfing goes back 4,000 years…but I think we’ve been surfing bitchin’ waves for a lot longer than that on this planet. Hening used to hang out on the beach in Peru with the late Thor Heyerdahl.

   They’re lying to themselves too no doubt. I agree with you about the 4,000 year estimate. If four thousand then why not 20 thousand? I’m sure Atlantis had surf shops and sex wax!

   I hadn’t heard Heyerdahl’s name in years. I’ll bet he and Hening were chewing coca leaves on that Peruvian beach!

   That’s fascinating stuff and he makes some very compelling arguments. And it just makes intuitive sense that we couldn’t have gone from living in caves to building the Great Pyramid overnight. Let’s see, Monday we hit our heads on the top of our four foot cave because we can’t figure out how to put three sticks and some leaves together to build a hut, and by Thursday we’ve built the Great Pyramid. Hmmm, I don’t think so.

   The bit about the maps is also new to me. I started a video of one of his presentations in which he goes into detail about these maps and provides images of them. You can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4k8pdJ2so4.

   Thanks. I’m watching him now talk about the maps. I remember the Piri Reis map that outlines Antarctica under the ice sheet. Now there’s a trick.

   Dan, you’re less than a hundred miles from Yonaguni, one of the hottest sites for marine archaeology today. Hancock dived there. I’d sure love to see that place. It reminds me that during the big tsunami a few years ago, a very old, unknown temple appeared off the coast of Sri Lanka when the tide receded; then it was covered again by the sea. There has to be stuff like that all over the planet.
