The problem of Cthulhu

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It was by Michael Crichton and it's a great historical
novel/ forgery. If anyone else had written it, or if
he had used a pseudonym it would be much more highly
praised than it is.
As for deep history, I have no informed opinion on it,
other than it makes for interesting historical fiction
(meaning the genre)
