Fact: There is no evidence that you'll accept that the Terra Papers were around before the 1990s.
Because you have presented no evidence. What you have mistaken for evidence amounts to word-of-mouth, someone gave you their word they saw them
before 1995. Fact is, there is no hard evidence they existed before the 1990s. And in a field replete with hoaxers, hucksters and outright liars,
someone's word is not good enough.

The Tablets are more history, accounting, and reporting, than myth. And they are a far cry from what bits and pieces were translated
before.
Show us. Show us these supposed tablets that corroborate the Terra Papers.

You also did not answer which Sumerian myths the Terra Papers supposedly mirror.
I can't answer that for the poster that posted that. Perhaps you should ask them.
You are making that claim as well. Quoting you again from above;

Well, you are welcome to conclude what you wish, but by my reconning, and my gut as well, they are the truth. They accord with the Summerian
Tablets, which were just beginning to be translated when the Papers were written.
So, show us these tablets. You seem to know a lot about the content of these tablets, so show us.

If you read what I have written, it will become fully apparent that this was educated speculation from the beginning.
I am glad you acknowledge it is speculation. I will dispute that it is "educated" but will grant that I misread your comments as being statements
of fact.

These two were either given permission by a council of Elders, or were sharing something with a friend.
Now you are relying on special pleading to make your case. First you say that the Hopi would not share their secrets with outsiders, then tell us in
this special case they were. You are trying to have it both ways.

What is your investment in this, dear. It seems awfully important for you to debunk by way of obfuscation and ridicule.

So what's your point and why is this so important to you?
Originally posted by Amaterasu
And, in fact, this whole issue has you dancing to discredit me. I want to know what's so important... Does the thought of the Papers being true scare
you THAT much? Or are there other, more...spooky reasons that you are so invested in this? I just can't tell.
Now you are being asinine. Need I remind you of
your original post?

What I am wondering is who of you believe they are true, and who believe they are fiction.
Also, I would like to know any reasons you may have for your views.
You invited others to give their opinions, opinions contrary to your own. Now that you are being challenged and asked questions you have no easy
answers for, you are resorting to ad hominem attacks and appeal to motives. You are trying to distract by accusing others of having some ulterior
motives. One could easily ask you the same questions; why is it so important for you to spread this gospel? Why are you resorting to attacks and
obfuscation, is the truth too hard to face?
But don't answer that, because I do not care. Discuss the topic, not the people making the arguments.
