I recommend that Mr Gendler take his problems up with the whole academic
community rather than picking solely on Ken Penner, who is simply stating
the
majority position, held due to the available archaeological and epigraphic
evidence. Perhaps, Mr Gendler may provide evidence for his non-standard
position other than his personal beliefs or accepted credences.
This is after all a list which attempts to work on an evidential basis.
