I'd assume as long as a chemical analysis would take between 'Map with Ship' and p.68 of the folio. The simple test would prove me wrong and silence this entire line of inquiry. So I guess when that happens.
That may be what it will take for you to stop believing in your Marco Polo/Arctic Circle clock idea but that is not what I was asking. What I was asking was: How long do you think it will take for anyone here to start believing your idea? I think the only way people will believe it is if there is a proven translation of the text.
The answer remains the same. Once the test proves that they were, or were not, in fact stained by the same thing, the rest of my arguments (pertaining to the arctic circle/polos) also gain additional credibility- or fall apart entirely. If correct, it becomes another verifiable aspect of the book's chain of custody, thus directly relating it to the author of 'Map with Ship' and in proximity to the Polos.
What I would like for you to prove:
(1) a different geographic position can be deduced from the proto-clock (or whatever your interpretation of it is)
(2) the stains between 'Map with Ship' & VM (p.68) show no significant signs of overlap
