Myopic. Nice. and you say I took your comments out of context.

Here' the facts..... the concensus view is a living organism that grows exponentially while at the same time shedding redundant limbs.

You are part of it. I am part of it. Cladking is part of it. Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock are part of it. Lettered and amateur Egyptologists, anthropologists, archaeologists,...just about any discipline or science you can think of are part of it.

When I started posting here two decades ago I was just turning 50, just finding time in my life to be a student of history again. I thought I was pretty informed....


HELLO!!! I was an idiot.compared to my current understanding of their beliefs, their architecture, their infrasturucture, etc....


It's a monstrous jigsaw puzzle. the pieces dribble in from the most unexpected places. It's not gonna get any clearer if we start throwing out any pieces.


One of my colleagues was a high school Janitor who took it upon himself to learn to read the language. The more he learned the Less new age/anti-concensus, he became.

Why do you think that is? Is it a sign of the onset of myopia???


Other people d not have to be proven wrong for your work to be valuable.

Please keep it up, it IS excellent work

PS I have found many rare and expensive tomes at yard sales etc. I've spent some good lucre on some as well. The value of their contents is not dictated by what I paid for them

PPS the edit was replacing next(typo}with "...Less new age/ ant...etc


" I have always found that the main obstacle to free
association on these boards is the broad
misconception that what we do not know is more
significant than what we do know."
