It can't be. Ed is one of the people here who stick by their beliefs under
all circumstances. If you have followed this you would find that he rarely
answers questions and when his evidence is examined by experts he denies
their results.
If you look at the pictures it's pretty amazing, for the most part that
they see anything. One picture did clearly have a human nose sticking out
of the rock, they said it was a leg bone or some such but to me it was a
nose.
