Yes, it would help if they had a page with feedback from previous students, or a forum maybe, for distance students to discuss the courses. I found this page - not sure if you've looked at it or if there's anything about the distance courses
I can only imagine the 'pa' in the fees is per annum, as you say. It isn't very clear considering it's such an important e

Hi Rick,
I don't really know anything about the distance courses I'm afraid
Have you mooched about on these links Rick?
There might be something in there!
They're a great college, so I would expect the best from them.

Mia,
You can send for an info pack from Birkbeck College in London from this link:
I did 2 years of evening classes through them, on their certificate/diploma course in Egyptology. The course was held in a local school, not at the London college, so they may run similar near you? My children were both very young when I took the course, and immersing myself in Ancient Egypt one evening a wee

Thanks for this info Doug. I've only recently become aware of this zoo and had no idea about their Creationist slant. It's quite shocking that this hasn't been reported more widely - I'm surprised it hasn't...but it will be now.

Probably contrived, I'd have thought, but most likely coincidence, especially as it's the broken off nose that clinches it!

Well it does!
QuoteThe spitting image limestone sculpture has been on display at the museum since 1988, but recently started drawing attention because of its likeness to Jacko --- complete with disfigured nose.
Unfortunately the bust, which was carved sometime between 1550 B.C. and 1050 B.C., is of a woman and MJ likely never had the chance to see the statuette.

Yes he's a very interesting god, and from what is posted at Tour Egypt, I think he deserves much more attention than he seems to have had.
It's interesting that the page says:
Quotethe Egyptians believed that he was 'born' with each individual, yet he was also a god. so he wasn't considered an aspect of the AE soul, but it seems that in some way, he was a divine aspec

Thanks Katherine - I ran a search and could only find a used copy on Amazon for $289
At least I now know what I need, if I can ever get my hands on it!

I asked about Shay on here many years ago - I remember Joanne referred me to Shai at the time but I was unaware she'd written an article on him since then. I do hope so!
I'm still in touch with Joanne by email so I'll go directly to her - thanks guys.
If anyone else can shed any light on other sources, I'd be grateful too.

Can anyone recommend an article or book where I can find in depth information on the god Shai? There's a page on Tour Egypt, but I can't find the sources.
Anyone know?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Martin,
Have you ever been to Waddesdon Manor?
I bought a print of this photo of the zebra carriage there some years back
It's a Rothschild manor not far from Rothschild's Mentmore Towers which was used as the gothic 'Wayne Manor'in Batman Begins, and in fact when I saw the film I was sure it was Waddesdon, not Mentmore! They are very similar.
Anyway, hope you like

Olde Britain?
When did housewives come into existence?
I thought British women either looked after rich women, their rich kids or their posh houses, or alternatively were rich women and employed poor women.
The poor kids were safely tucked up the chimney or working in the mines and mills
Was Upstairs Downstairs and Mary Poppins all a lie?????

I've been reading about this kind of thing recently. Psychologists suggest that the reason people inquire about creativity - a reason beyond practicality that provides justification, is because of a desire to search for the excellence of man. To dignify mankind.
The act of creating is seen to be more wholesome than the product itself.
It takes a certain kind of person to continue to str

Hi Joe,
QuoteMating between Gods and Mortals is a common theme throughout Western Mythology (right up to the story of the conception of Christ). I think the purpose of this archetype is to lend Divine legitamacy to the rule of mortal Kings. The idea of ruling by divine right is ancient and common, as is Royalty being held as semi-divine.
I agree 100% with you there. What intrigues me, is (as
