Wikipedia:
Barry Fell
“Barry Fell (born Howard Barraclough Fell) (June 6, 1917 – April 21, 1994) was a professor of invertebrate zoology at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. While his primary professional research included starfish and sea urchins, Fell is most well known for his controversial work in New World epigraphy, arguing that various inscriptions in the Americas are best explained by extensive pre-Columbian contact with Old World civilizations. His writings on epigraphy and archaeology are generally rejected by those mainstream scholars who have considered them.”
” . . deciphered the tablet he said the tablet was written in ancient Hittite-Minoan. He immediately compared it with the Phaistos Disk from Crete.”
There is no similarity between the characters.
“The tablet was written in magic quadrangles, to be read both vertically and horizontally. Therefore the text was read in a boustrophedon pattern.”
That is not the definition of boustrophedon writing.
You’d think a journalist would know this before employing the arcane term, wouldn’t you?
Native American land claims are big business, and fit the left's goals. Can't have any Greeks mining copper here for their bronze.
