From the article:
(Romer)- "The archaeological evidence suggests the truth is that Egyptian culture was as vulnerable as all others to outside influences."
Has he lost it? He thinks the legacy of ancient Egypt is not ancient Egyptian?

I was not aware of this article. I have reached out to the author for a copy of the original (he says is from 2016).
Few takeaways:
His use of terms 'exactly' and 'precisely' are applied in glaring error. Example, the Red and Bent /\s are, in fact, not 'exactly' 6000ft apart. There are others.
He only speculates on how the AE might have worked out such a me

Still wondering if there was a test study done? Anyone know? Like in a modern mine or quarry where the known spaces are correctly identified?
Also, if it works, please, please, please do the same for other pyramids. Growing old and tired of the Great Pyramid focus.

Hi Folks,
Where: Seti I Temple at Abydos
I'm having a real hard time trying to find the pre-dynastic kings listed at the Seti I temple. They're on the opposing wall from the dynastic king list.
Anyone have any ideas?

Fyi - news ...
In late 2018 I put out my work on what I refer to as the 'Circle of Meroe'. ( )
I was just combing through the site again in Google Earth, and it is quite obvious a looting process began _before_ I released my findings to the public in Nov 2018. Since then, further (and very clearly) looting holes have been dug on the eastern side of the circle.

That works. My thoughts are the section is referring to the creation of earthly matter in its environment, and the 'blue' used by the PT author is a reference to the dawn sky color, thus the connection between the stone and the amulets?

Tried for you, but could not locate free copy. It's not a big cost, I suppose, but I like free just like you !
Is there something specific you were looking for on the 'source of Nile' topic? Maybe I could try to help?

Thanks!
It ended a little abruptly, I think, but I was drawn to a couple of references I hadn't seen before.
Otherwise does come across as a repetition of previous studies, ie nothing new.

Nothing new.
In Lahun she saw (did _not_ discover!!!) looting, then went and looked at the looted remains. This turned into her having 'discovered 800 tombs':

The looting in Egypt, however, was far from being discovered by Sarah Parcak. If Egypt was her concern, I was and am surprised that it wasn't her f
