![]() ![]() On page 241, (paperback edition), Gavin first mentions the Sacramento Junk. To get the gist of Gavin’s arguments let’s look at one of his claims. In particular Bill Hartz’s exhaustive demolition is a bracing tonic for Gavin’s numbing elixir. You can look here and here and here and here. That task has already been done by an army of critics. I’m not going to catalog Gavin’s many errors, omissions and deceptions. It’s to bad that remotely plausible does not make your case! Skeptics are hard-asses we demand rigorous and repeatedly verified evidence before deeming suppositions possibly not crap! By this standard Gavin falls way short. Gavin Menzies’ ludicrous tome, 1421: The Year China Discovered America, (also titled 1421: The Year China Discovered the World), is the finest example of delusional sophistry I’ve encountered since Graham Hancock’s insane Finger Prints of the Gods.Ībout the only thing you can say for Gavin’s fantasy is that, (unlike Hancock’s Finger Prints - the “ science” behind the movie 2012), 1421 is remotely plausible. ![]() For reasons that infuriate skeptics there is a never-ending parade of pseudo-historians spouting rubbish that is eagerly devoured by a credulous pig ignorant public. Crank history is big business and it’s getting bigger. ![]()
