Fantasy is not in play here. That is my point, which you well know. The existence of people on Easter Island alone should make you more cautious in your cmments than that. Also, the point that evidence was not just lost, but actively destroyed, should instill even greater caution of your use of such a term as "fantasy" in a discussion such as this. Quibbling over whether it was really just two years seems a bit nit-picky.

The claim is that between 1421 and 1423 the Chinese explored and set up colonies on the east coast of the present US. Rhode Island, to be specific. (No one is challenging the presence of Polynesians on Easter Island.)
This is a very specific claim in a very specific place. Since you want to defend this claim, please feel free to do so. |

Twisitng into BS as usual. Defended nothing. This is obvious, thus, your motivation is in question with regard to the post above. |

IOW, you have never read the book, have only the vaguest notion of the topic, no clue whatsoever about when the Russians were on the Pacific coast and are now trying to weasle your way out of yet another untenable position that your motor mouth got you into. |
