Sketchy note for self

[mirrorshard]

Kit Marlowe cited some Algonquin myths in support of the claim that the Earth was older than 6,000 years. He'd've met Manteo and Wanchese, since they were in London 1584/5 and again later that decade.

William Gilberd might well have too, and he was passionate about redeeming the Earth from the nothing-but-mud view. Must check timing.
