Emil Forrer
Emil Orgetorix Gustav Forrer was a Swiss Assyriologist and pioneering Hittitologist.
Moreover, Emil Forrer developed a deviant interdisciplinary field of research, based on textual fragments of the Greek historian Theopompus of Chios, and dealing with assumed pre- or protohistoric contacts between the Old- and the New World. Antithetic to the prevailing academic school of thought, Forrer advocated the idea that Theopomp's "Meropis" was not a fictional place, but an actually existing geographic entity.Works
