Hi Rick,

Yes, I kinda know you know.

What we should never forget is the fact, that parts (huge parts even) of all history is somebody's intrepretation of the existing archaeological evidence. While there are moments where only one plausible intrepretation is possible, a consensus is reached, but the differences in interpretations cause "squabbling". I don't honestly think that it is as much a matter of picking one's favourite to back up one's ideas, as having similar views with a certain writer. I, for example, still prefer Faulkner's PTs.
From there to go and say that we don't have a clue about something or mistrusting the whole Egyptological school is, IMO, taking it to the extreme.
