Hmm, I thought west Africa had iron smelting further back than that but there’s still some debate about it. Link to Wikipedia and their articles

Is there an online source for his thoughts on Enoch? Any on his general thoughts of the Ethiopic versions in comparison?

I wish there was a little PSA that says “it’s fun but also not fact. Enjoy at own risk”. I really enjoyed the series mainly for the rabbit holes I get reading into established academia. I like the imagination in these theories just for thought experiments but would never actually believe them without some more balance and peer review. Interesting stuff tho. Wish there were more funding in the sites he does ask about, especially gobleke tepe and more sub saharan sites.
