being a classic. I myself became interested in archaeology purely from
reading the fascinating posts in this forum by Ruddy Norah.

As I have several times said in the past, in my opinion Menzies is a
rogue and a liar.
I for one appreciate your bringing this to my attention, and to
these ngs. I think he deserves being roundly ignored; but unless
folks who know better tell the truth about him, some innocents
may read about his latest travesty and think he may be on to
something.

doubtful.

He actually tries capture anything and everything which can be pressed
into the service of his concoction. I think it was his accounts of the
Great South American Sloth in the fiords of the South Island of New
Zealand which showed to me how bizarre his selection of evidence
really is.
