ACADEMIC COMMENTARY
Contributions to the study by recognized scholars & sinologists.
“The (translation of the) large boulder… Very good. You might, perhaps, see the term Da Jia. A Shang ancestor!” “Persist and publish!” David N. Keightley, Ph.D., UC-Berkeley, retired.
“These proto-writings, which I have seen for the first time, are intriguing. They do resemble, prima facie not accidentally, some writings on the oracle bones.” Ken-Ichi Takashima, Ph.D., University of British Columbia, Emeritus.
“John… you don’t need the statistical analysis. They (the study’s pictogram-glyphs) are obviously Chinese script symbols.” The Honorable Barrie M. Schwortz, professional graphic artist and official documenting photographer - 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project.
“About the date of the writings, I think preparatorily, that it is potentially Pre-Qin Dynasty only by writing style.” Baochun Ma, Ph.D., Capital Normal University, Beijing, China.
“In summation, I judge the findings, analyses, and conclusion documented by Dr. Ruskamp in his research Paper titled Ancient Chinese Rock Writings Confirm Early Trans-Pacific Interaction as accurate and worthy of further study, academic discourse, and scholarly publication.” Yaoliang Song, Ph.D., formerly of Harvard-Yenching Institute, and East China Normal University, China.
“Your discovery, I think, is very important for the studies of the relation between the ancient China and America.”
Yuzhou Fan, Ph.D., Nanjing University, China.
“I am grateful that you undertook this investigation and wholeheartedly applaud uncanny repeated success. The range. The analysis. Permanent advance!” Cyclone Covey, Ph.D., Wake Forest University, retired.
“Asiatic Echoes is very scientific and has a lot of very important information supported by really impressive photos of the pictographs.” Fernando De Trazegnies Granda, Professor Principal de la Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, and former Minister of Foreign Affairs for the country of Peru.
“Believe me; this (find) is not simply about Archaeology, but also LITERATURE. It is a fantastic poem (or lyrics, if people can find the music scores of it), just like those you read in “詩經”(the Shī Jīng).” Lung-Chuan Chen, Professional Chinese business translator, Taipei, Taiwan.
"These images do not readily appear to be associated with local tribal entities and based on repatination appear to have antiquity to them." Michael Medrano, Ph.D., former Chief of Natural Resources for the Petroglyph National Monument.
“Compelling evidence!” William E. Davis, Ph.D., Retired Senior Policy Analyst, U.S. Congress.
“They (the study’s petroglyphs) are all related with the emerging of (Chinese) characters; I think it worth to keep performing more research about them.” Xiaoqing Lu, Ph.D., Peking University, China.
“I was successful in finding the Rinconada petroglyphs, thank you very much. Amazing… Eye-opening… Impressive!” Stephen C. Jett, Ph.D., UC Davis, retired.
“I examined your pdf file and website. I highly respect and appreciate your work. Some of the petroglyphs are similar to what I found in Southern Minnesota. Your work is surely groundbreaking and will be a milestone. As more and more people realize this importance, history books will be rewritten.” Yueh-Ting Lee, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School, Southern Illinois University.
“What Mr. Chen wrote is acceptable to me” Su-Chiu Kuo, Ph.D., Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.
