More needed on what his theories were edit

The page says people have thought his theories were rubbish, but nothing about what they were. This needs to be added - e.g. apparently he thought the Irish descended from the Phoenicians, and similarities between Irish round towers and Indian Hindu temples significant.

Another of his ideas was that Confucius was actually Cenn Fáelad. I do not know how much such a detail speaks about the rest of his system. So far leaving it here. The source: Galambos, Imre.

This edit: [2] changed his year of birth to 1831 stating unnamed church records as the sources. While apparently a year of birth of 1721 is questioned, still for the dates in 1731 we would need some source that conforms with Wikipedia:Verifiability. --Proofreader (talk) 23:03, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
