<HTML>Hi Derek,
Ask me that question on the GHMB and I'll give you my answer. I contributed to the Ma'at MB only because of the events of last week in the USA. I felt it important that I do so. But now enough said on this issue.
But since I'm on line, here are the brief response to your questions. You asked:
DB: Could you firstly explain, how such an emphatic statement can be justified.
RB: Yes, I can. Read the arguments presented in Keeper of Genesis, particularly Chapter 10, cross-title 'Seventy Days from Horakhti'.
DB: given that there is indeed a well argued case that they did not?
RB: What case?
DB: Secondly could you also explain why it matters if, as you appear the believe, the Sphinx was not built by the AE's but by some older and now lost civilisation?
RB: I'm not sure I understand you question correctly. If you are asking me whether it matter to me whether or not the Sphinx was built by the AE, my answer is what matter is the truth. But for the record, I do not think the Sphinx was built by a 'lost civilisation'. I think the AE civilisation might be older, and that's a completely different thing.
Best
RB
PS: I'm off to San Marino tomorrow for a weekend conference, so I'll respond in more detail when I return next week.</HTML>
