Thanks for the updated video. I really want their theory to be true, but there are several things that just don't seem right.
They claim they submitted an academic paper that was rejected. They received 2 comments from the reviewers, but were not allowed to use these publicly. Doesn't this seem a bit strange? Why would that request be denied? Is there even any evidence that they in fact did submit an academic paper in the first place?
EDIT: They did in fact submit an academic paper, confirmed by LisaFaginDavis in this thread.
Why are they turning this into a media event? In the latest video he is talking about his father making public appearances, visiting Turkologists in Turkey, etc. He also mentions that they have been in the mainstream Turkish news, etc. To me, this doesn't really mean anything. Of course the Turkish people wants the manuscript to be in Turkish. Of course their news channels are going to favor their theory. It's called preaching to the choir.
They are also leaving us hanging regarding the statement that they have linked 70 unique words to matching parts of the MS, but they are not showing us anything. Should this not be the main priority?
This video is not the first time I have seen one of them claim that previous MS cracking attempts have been "Euro-centric". This seems like an unnecessary term to use as a way to defend their Turkic language theory. A better way to defend their claims would be to... you know... provide evidence.
Why are they planning to release 3 books? It doesn't make sense to me. It seems like they are just trying to profit from their theory by releasing tiny information in chunks. They could just release an hour long YouTube video with a summary of their findings. That would be more than enough.
I am sorry if this seems like unfair criticism, but they do in fact make a very bold claim that they have an alphabet that works 100% of the time and are already talking to Turkish news how they have have solved the riddle.
