"Almost 4,000 years ago, laborers sent by the Egyptian Pharaoh toiled to extract highly prized turquoise from quarries deep in the Sinai desert. In studying the numerous inscriptions they left behind, Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor Orly Goldwasser believes that something extraordinary took place here, and that illiterate Canaanite laborers were responsible for one of the most signiby Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
Is it correct that we don't know its original name, and if so, can someone give me a reliable source for this? Thanks.by Doug Weller - Ancient History

You beat me to it. If you look at how many articles WC has edited as of today, it's 5,439. The headline on Lawrence Solomon's lying rant reads "How Wikipedia’s green doctor rewrote 5,428 climate articles.

Off to London to a gourmet food market. Every time I block a vandal I revert at least one edit, often quite a few more. The number of articles I've edited in that way must be huge. I probably block at least 3 vandals a day. Yesterday I must have reverted 30 articles or more that I hadn't edited before. I'll get back with more.by Doug Weller - Laboratory

Take a look at its Wikipedia talk page here The main reference for this is the British Association for the Advancement of Science -- and according to the IP, the journal cited and other issues do not mention it, leaving us with an apparently fraudulent claim. This needs to be checked again I think, but this is very interesting.by Doug Weller - Ancient History

I've got the Krauss article now. Looking for a source for regnal dates of 2670-2620, which I presume has something to do with Stadelman's 48 year claim.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
Thanks for that. Does it say when the Red was built if his reign was 32 years? And any actual dates for his reign?by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
I seem to have been confused by Google. It's Sneferu's reign I'm interested in. Stadelman seems to suggest it was 48 years, and if so a source for that would be nice, and I see that Krauss suggests 30 years but that the Red pyramid started earlier than the 30th year of his reign. is the article if anyone can get it for me.
