Hé Dave,
The Southern Cemetry Field is very clear in Google Earth.
Lots of tombs are visible from above.
Jon Bodsworth seems to be very familiar with the area. Maybe he knows the exact location of mastaba V.
See this brief discussion about the specific area from 2 years ago.

I would be very very much supprised if that picture were the newly unearthed 'mother goddess figurine' !!!!
To me that looks like a copy (!!) of the Willendorf Venus.
A copy from a museumshop somewhere.

By Jove, those 3D pictures are just superb!!!!!!!!!
I happen to have such a required set of anaglyph glasses (cyano and red) and it's an amazing experience.
As if you could touch the old chap.
Thanks for this.

Hé Dave and C Wayne,
Using your coördinates I had some trouble relocating Thoth Hill with Google Earth.
After a short search I found it again at the following coördinates:
25.766 N (25* 45'58")
32.608 E (32* 36'31")
The remains of the templestructures are clearly visible and 4 fotographs are added.

Be carefull here! This is an art project, not a scientific investigation.
The driving force behind this project is Louis de Cordier, an artist from Belgium.

The artist claims an affiliation with the university of Gent Belgium, but in reality there is no connection between uni Gent and the artist.

Hé All,
Debunking Fomenkology isn't as easy as it might seem.
According to me you have to start where Fomenko starts.
Why does he want to shorten the chronology of worldhistory like he does?
The basis of his theory lies within an astronomical problem: the so-called Delta-T problem (the unsolved problem of the Earth-Moon-system).
Sience does not have a solution for this problem (yet!).

Hermione: thanks for doing the search on books.google
My knowledge of Latin is practically zero though, so I will have some trouble selecting some.
Rich: thanks for your notes about the Tabula Peutingeriana (even though I am very familiar with that one).
Everybody thanks for all your remarks about Fomenkology in general.

Hé All,
Within the historical group of which I am a member there is -to my great concern- a growing interest in Fomenkology (the theory of New Chronology by A. Fomenko).
Although I am convinced that this theory is fundamentally flawed, it is not so easy to debunk.
Before looking at the theory as a whole I would like to discuss a specific example of it´s workings: Pompeii in the Middle Ag

Hé Mark,
As far as I know it's an anonymous quote.
It's in my signature for a long time now here on Ma'at and I don't remember where I got it from.
So because of your question I googled the quote and indeed the sites that have it say that the author is unknown. (Although I once encountered a reference to "One contemporary comedian" )
