Can you name a Sumerian linguist who agrees with Sitchen? I just
saw a program the other day where a PhD made the same assertion
that Sitchen mixes languages to come up with results he wants.

And I have plenty of others that are critical of Sitchen:

How about an actual Sumerian scholar

It is called upthrust. And Einstein only said that Hapgood's theories made
sense, 10 years before plate tectonics were developed. Had Einstein been
able to see the data about plate tectonics he would have changed his mind.

Yet you say nothing about the discrepancy in dates. Why is that?
Opinion has nothing to do with the fact that 3,600 years ago there
was no historical record of a flood.

I don't see you providing any evidence while I am referencing all sorts
of scholarly work.

I'm not a professional, and I have used no name calling in this post. You have
continued to evade the points I have made though, and I can only conclude that
your stance is backed by feelings, rather than facts.

There are people who are well versed in astronomy who have brought up very
reasoned and sensible arguments against the claims that Nancy has made
and yet she resorts to calling them conspirators and refuses to confront the
issues brought up.
