Take the following as truth: The gold was washed down from the hills by the River Pactolus; the Greek historian Herodotus relates how flakes of the precious metal were trapped in the fleece of sheepskins spread in the stream-bed, perhaps giving rise to the legend of the Golden Fleece.
Then the following statement: "The River Thames was the river which washed the gold down." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
