Book of Mormon regarding the book Indy linked to, in a review:

Quote:
There, some of the longest-lived legends indicate Japan's oldest settlers, the Jomon, preceded the West in the establishment of agriculture and settled communities. Where scholars once held these people were "simple hunter-gatherers", Hancock sees evidence of rice growing nearly twelve thousand years old. Temple styles found today are duplicated in undersea sites, in some places nearby as if the sea simply pushed the people and their culture inland. These people may have followed the "Black Current" across the Pacific to establish settlements along the western coast of South America.

The visit to the Zelph mound gives them tons of credibility, though.

I wasn't making a smart ass reply, I linked you to a book that also questions the "establishment's" timeline for the civilization of mankind.

How does it 'question'?

Is it an attack on carbon 14 dating, or is it an attack on other assumptions?

No, not an attack on Carbon 14 dating. For example, there are elaborate stone temples on Malta which date to 3,600 BC. The problem is, there are no signs of that architectural know-how gradually being developed on Malta or anywhere prior to that. They simply just knew how to do technically complicated construction "out of nowhere". There is a lot more to it than that, but that gives you a flavor.
