Hi,
At last you also in this list( read: Bertil) did discover that
Heyerdahl isn't digging in Azerbajdsjan. By the way Bertil, as you
have Ptolemaios map. Have you seen the name Asei north of the fork of
Volga and another river; Kama or possibly Samara? Maybe H. is digging
to much to the south anyway.
