I was under the impression that the study of ancient Egypt encompassed slightly more than Pyramids.
Like you I despair of the obsession that so many have with number crunching.
To be fair to this panel's oversight. They have no control over what people post or who posts same, outside of the stated rules of engagement.
It wouldn't be unfair to state that my postings are in a very large part intended to take the reader past this Magnificent Obsession to appreciate the very real people that the AEs were.
