... mone padme hummm I keep seeing the cathedraql scene in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" LOL :<) Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
see what we mean? I typed the wrong name and still got the required results. The all time greatest Supporting Actress performance IMHO BTW. Just think of the word "Spider" :<) Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
which I think is more than sufficient to proove my point. Our objections are not based on the degree of our knowledge of maths, but on our awareness of the extant evidence concerning the degree of the AE's knowledge of Maths. Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History

we KNOW the Old Kingdom builder's knew fractions because...we know the Artist's who embellished the extant Mastabas of the time along with all those structures which are no longer intact, employed SCALE. But that doesn't mean they understood decimal points. Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
then you agree that my skills with a slide rule ( which are as good as anybody's due to the fat that I took a 2 year engineering course at the Coventry & Warwickshire Technical School while apprenticing as Plant Engineer for Coventry Climax Engines...Manufacturers of Fork Lifts, Race Car engines, tank engines, and water pumps) have no bearing on the discussion? Equally...I'm pretby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
Exactly John!! Given a certain assortment of tools one's work is actually forced into certain proportions, shapes and developements. Take the previously mentioned adze. The natural result of certain steady progressive motions can produce amazingly accurate flat, convex or concave surfaces. Combine these basic skills with simple squares and plum bobs, and the Old Kingdom craftsman iby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
I have to date only referenced a copy in the Toronto Central Library( and that was over 5 years ago). However, almost the etire work is accessable on the internet if you dig enough. There has been a number of accusations made concerning the SCA and especially Hawass, of the Cleaning and repair projects that I mentioned, were in fact a cover up of this or that discovery/whatever. Predictablyby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
"Its like saying you have in depth knowledge of the metric system when you have never used a ruler. " Did Petrie ever use an adze??? :<) Are you actually implying that some of us are less willing to allocate certain concepts to the Old Kingdom......because we do not understand the data? Amazing!!

...for Darkuser. Lost Civilisation...as in we can't find any evidence for it because it's all been lost. Now look up.....'Weighing the EVIDENCE........' Warwick :<)by Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
"He just didn't know the meaning of "error"! " Primitve Kalahari Bushemen can COUNT to a hundred. To say that Petrie is infallible( or rather to repeat it endlessly) is just plain wrong. He would be the first to agree if asked, IMHO. My reference was to the descriptions of the repairs done (which seem to be the source of the confusion about block counts) containeby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
...it's technology that is directly to blame for the increase in the numbers and the severity of Hurricanes. On a related note..I think it was Grace Slick who opined that we are poisoning our world but that we'll have Amazingly beautiful sunsets before the end. Maybe the answer is a bunker in North Dakota??:<) Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
.......and Ma'atians? :<) Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
But I'm NOT ashamed of your beliefs! :<) I am however disappointed that you choose to characterise our efforts. It isn't any of us who doubt. It is you who have failed to convince. IOW's...don't blame the Ma'at board for your shortcomings. And Dave,,,Don't take this personally , I merely address your methodology. Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History

"I missed the discussions." Don't get greedy Man 'We' missed the discussions!!! I'd rather argue with any of US than agree with any of THEM any day:<) Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
based on the discussions here and above I'm afraid I dont see any justification for alleging a screw up, but then I am not trying to make the facts fit a theory. My suggestion?..The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh ,108p., 1885 by W. M. Flinders Petrie, ISBN 1-85417-051-1 the 1990 edition has an update on all the repairs done to the GP by the SCA written by Hawass. Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History

"The cleaning has also removed fine detail like red drawn lines on the walls in the passage to the Queen's Chamber." Was this carried out directly under the auspicies of the Egptology branch of the Council or was it under the direction of the tourism branch? IOW's was the intent restoration or just a more general cleaning up? The fact is that a lot of visitors to Gizaby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History

would you then accept the results? Do M&R not count? Have you yourself done so? Please explain how all this adds up to a Screw up. Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
"Unfortunately this damage has now been 'repaired' with granite coloured cement so it's not possible to say what the situation is. " By Whom? and for what stated purpose? Warwickby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
" As far as I can determine the crash was not due to 'hacking' as has been speculated elsewhere, although we will likely never know for sure." the idea of intentional clandestine sabotage doesn't really fly for me either. I actually feel sorry for anyone who would take this tack. But...What is the likelyhood that the problems were caused by the active page being coby Warwick L Nixon - Ancient History
