In case anyone is interested, this past week I listened to a couple
worthwhile audio interviews about Bucky's life and ideas archived at:
http://www.lauralee.com/archives/index.htm
I also posted a similar exerpt of Bucky's to Acharya S's list not too
long ago, and got the following response:

I snipped the headers, etc. and posted your article to
soc.culture.ancient.history. Here is the first response:
***********Copy/Paste*******
The only source for the course of battle in the Trojan War is Homer. Yet
even with Homer, many scholars question whether such a war ever took
place. The evidences of historicity have collapsed one by one. For
example, it used to be maintained that the Trojan War recorded culture
as it would have been known in the late second millenium. This position
has been given up.
********End Copy/Paste********
And another response:
***************Begin**********
If the claim is that Venice is a Phoenician city you are right.
Venice was founded in the dark ages when the some people from the coast
of Italy moved to some Islands in a lagoon for safety from invaders.
********End Copy/Paste********
Another response was uncharitable (" There are so many holes in
this...").
If you're interested in an alternate view of history including radical
changes in chronologies, check out this url:

Plenty to chew on there.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
