The author responds by providing background context and motivations for the paper. His assumptions are revisited (and reclaimed), further corroboration for some of them being added. Next, the most probable location where the evidence of the Flood koine appears to converge—discovered in 1959 by İlhan Durupinar and Ara Güler—is examined in more detail. The variety of the specific kinds of similarities constituting the koine is expanded by widening the author's net globally. Finally, questions concerning ancient cosmography, chronology and the limitations of scientifically testable inferences derived from the methodologies of cognitive archaeology are fielded.
