The man who has been doing the most serious work on chronological revision
and who has the most interesting story to tell is a German archaeologist
by the name of Gunnar Heinsohn, who strikes me as one of the brightest
people I have come across, who was at the symposium in Fla. this weekend,
and who hopefully will begin to have WWW pages up within the next month or
two. His works are the single biggest gap in the system of WWW pages
regarding catastrophism which has now grown up, and again, hopefully, that
will shortly be rectified.

I would add a slight correction to Ted's post: Dr. Heinsohn
is not an archaeologist although much of his work is devoted
to exposing the flaws in modern archaeology. He is an
economist at the University of Bremen. He publishes
frequently in Aeon. I am currently preparing a lengthy
review of his researches which I hope to have online in the
next month or so.
