As Feltman noted at the Washington Post: “Without a formal, peer-reviewed study of the stars-and-cities hypothesis (and even with one), it’s a bit reckless to run with the conclusion that it has been proven.”

This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
