SOMERTON MAN: LAPSTONE, THE SHCHERBAKOV COINCIDENCE?

INTERESTING...
A Sherbakov connection:

Notice the shape of the ears and similarity to the shape of the Somerton Man's ears.

Now let's look at a profile image of this person's ear:

And now look at the Somerton Man's ear profile:

The Cymba and the Cavum are very similar, 

this kind of ear is found only in 4% of the population.

SO?

All things being equal, that ear shape is relatively common, 4% sounds small in percentage terms but in hard numbers across a population, it's massive., 800,000 plus So what's the big deal?

The big deal, (could be) the person in the two images above the SM pic, has an unusual surname, Bogatyrova. The same name as Novikov's secretary on his trip to the Lapstone conference in late November1948. Both Tatiyana Bogatyrova and another person, Sherbakov, (Shcherbakov) arrived in Australia but did not depart after the conference.

Coincidence? Yes, of course, it could be. Worth a deeper look? Certainly.

The name Shcherbakov cropped up again in 2010 in connection with the Anna Chapman Spy case in America. This time a 'Colonel Shcherbakov' was identified as the Russian Spy who had betrayed the Chapman 9 spy network.

Pictured below is one of the Russian spies, 'Juan Lazaro',\real name Mikhail Anatolevich Vasenkov, caught as a result of Shcherbakov's information:

SOMERTON MAN: CROSSING THE Ts'

Not talking about this T, but suggesting that just maybe we should take a look at some other Ts. The Ts that are contained in Verse 70. Have you ever noticed them? Do they strike you as being a little unusual perhaps?

Here are a few notes made recently and I thought I would share them with you:

THE Ts!

Line 1 has two T's, RepenTence and ofT, the T in repentence is not crossed but it is in ofT

Line 2 has one T in buT, not crossed

Line 3. has two Ts, Then and Then, the first T is crossed and the second one is a 'floating' cross well away from the T.

Line 4. has 3 Ts, Thread 'floating' cross, Penitence, not crossed, Tore, a 'floating' and extended cross.

Signature, one T in JesTyn, 'floating' shortened cross.

The inconsistency in the way the T has been written is unusual I think. We have 3 Ts not crossed, we have 2 that are crossed and we have 3 floating crossed Ts , 4 if you count Jestyn

Looking a little further and differently at the Ts:

Repentence oft, but, then (and) then, thread penitence tore.

First letter sequence:ROBTTTPTJ including JESTYN

Last letter sequence: ETTNNDEEN if you count JESTYN

Following words: Oft before, was, and came, bare a tore

Clive had a great thought that maybe the T was used as a message prompt as in the book being exchanged with no crossed Ts and then crossed to be returned and as a way of acknowledging the receipt of the book, perhaps indicating that a message was on its way?

Whilst it's fair to say that people sometimes write and form their words inconsistently, it's a matter of degree. Is it common or less common to show such variations within a relatively short paragraph?

There's something not sitting right here, can't quite put my finger on it but please feel free to share your thoughts...
