Well I can't believe this argument is still raging. We should simply put Creighton and Stower in a UFC ring and let them settle it there.
But first this quote has me puzzled:
Quote
To convincingly make his case Creighton
must show how Vyse knew more than ALL THE LIVING EGYPTOLOGISTS OF HIS TIME. Egyptology was a young science, just emerging in the early 19th Century when Vyse was working in Egypt. It was not known by any Egyptologist at that time that Egyptian pharaohs had 5 names, two of which would be circled with a cartouche. No Egyptologist at that time knew that the Horus name of Khufu was Hor Medjedu. Yet "Hor Medjedu" was one of the hieratic hieroglyphs scrawled on those relieving chamber walls. Somehow the immoral hoaxer Vyse, in his scheme to forge evidence that Khufu built the Great Pyramid, had his agents and assistants Hill and Raven write the name Hor Medjedu in the red ochre paint used by ancient masons. How did Vyse have greater knowledge than all existing living Egyptologists?
I am puzzled because this is the first time I have ever heard of this argument that the cartouche was unknown by Egyptologists.
could somebody explain this to me and why it has never been mentioned before.
Thanks in advance
