Look at the 2nd part of this pdf for an archaeological survey of the area. I noticed that the Wikipedia article claimed the stones were non-native and it was a mystery where they came from. Well, that is what it said ealier. :-)by Doug Weller - Ancient History
When do most Americans take their decorations down now? I can't remember when we did - and I know that in my brother's small town, I've seen Christmas lights up in late Feb/early March! Of course, in the UK it is considered bad luck to leave them up after January 6th, although I leave the red lights in the holly tree up until the days get quite a bit longer, as they are so cheery.by Doug Weller - Coffee Shop
You hear both 'Merry' and 'Happy' now in England.by Doug Weller - Coffee Shop
The facial expression stuff is interesting, the maze could have various explanations including sensing minute changes in air pressure I guess.by Doug Weller - Laboratory
Cool Yule and Happy Holidays to everyone.by Doug Weller - Coffee Shop
Marvelous as usual. Helen gave me a model Christmas toy shop for my snow scene, which she says has to be bigger next year. But I'll never catch up with you!by Doug Weller - Coffee Shop
Ok. Except I don't think Moses ever existed.by Doug Weller - Ancient History
The Torah says that Noah took clean and unclean animals into the Ark. Yes, Noah didn't have to distinguish clean and unclean, and there is a midrash that suggests that the clean animals knelt before him. But no matter what, the Torah is the Jewish version and mentions clean and unclean animals. That is part of the Biblical version, and anything that matches the Biblical version has to matchby Doug Weller - Ancient History
So the Jewish version isn't the version in my Bible, the one, for instance, Pete mentions?by Doug Weller - Ancient History

We could start with what does 'full representation' mean? Clean and unclean animals? I doubt it. Then there is the major issue of corruption of myths.

I have personal experience of debating with her on ANE about her attempt to trace the development of Anglo-Saxon writing to alleged Phoenician settlements in Cornwall. I can't say it was pleasant. Absent Voices is reviewed here: but it is a shame that the reviewer simply accepted her claim of Phoenican settlements in Cornwall (for which she seems to be about the only modern writer to claimby Doug Weller - Ancient History
Thanks. I see that he's an assistant professor of Architectonic Cosmic Theories and Development at Minia University. Amazing.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
Any idea who this guy is? He's managed to get a weird article into a magazine: Hossam Aboulfotouh, The Relativistic Tilts of Giza Pyramids' Entrance-passages; Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry, International Journal, Vol. 7, No 1, pp. 23-37 claiming, among other odd things, that "Archaeoastronomy showed that 3430BC is the encoded date in Dendera Zodiac, based on readiby Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
Richard, what do you think of Belyaev's work? (the DNA stuff there is interesting but I don't know how up to date it is)by Doug Weller - Ancient History
That's the sort I was thinking about.by Doug Weller - Humanities
But that's a metal one, the geode is, well, rock.by Doug Weller - Humanities
Cannonballs had powder in them?by Doug Weller - Humanities
Does anyone have access to this article? Thanks.by Doug Weller - Ancient History

Thanks all. If the total figure is going to be used to estimate how many tons had to be moved per day to accomplish the job in x years, than I guess fussy may be the way to go.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
two very different figures. But I was hoping for something a bit more scientific and published.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
I've seen various figures, but I'm dubious about all of them - is there anything at all reliable on the probable weight of the stone used to build the GP? Thanksby Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
Reading it first sounds a good idea, but I think Romer is probably closer. But he isn't saying it was done in 4 1/2 years, just that it could have been done. Let us know what he says.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
But if Romer is right about the Red pyramid, then he's probably right about the GP. Don, ask the author, not me.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
Has anyone read this? "This book represents a forensic-engineering exploration of the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. Most archaeologists believe that about 25,000 workers spent about 20 years to build the Great Pyramid (or Khufu’s Pyramid) at Giza in Egypt over 4,500 years ago (Lehner, 224). But, by closely examining the clues and relics left behind, and by assuming that the Egyby Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
I just got the book a couple of days ago, I'll look at it again. Thanks.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
What book? Any clue to the JSTOR article? Thanks.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
I use it a bit, mainly for Wikipedia.by Doug Weller - Laboratory
I've read several places that they were all looted by the end of the Middle Kingdom. What evidence is there for this? Where can I read some reliable stuff on it? Thanks.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
I think this thread has run its course and is getting badly side-tracked. I'm closing it.by Doug Weller - Ancient Egypt
