Dear members,
Keeping in mind such 'circles' as those found at Nabta Playa and the Bagnold Circle (nearer to the northern reaches of Gilf Kebir), the following presentation is a surprising and exciting discovery. I came upon this item quite some time ago, unable to explain what it might be or mean. Other studies I was following have since opened an intriguing set of mysteries concern

Good day
What I might say starts out with some keen observation on the hieroglyphs on the part of the authors (not to mention sleuthing them on this statue), I would opine the idea takes an unfortunate turn. This happens at two specific moments.
The first is on p.168 where a logical jump is made concerning the 'unknown' symbol perched on the back of the recumbent lion, where the

Hi Lee,
Is it that your are looking for alternate spellings, or do you have a direct concern/question about the determinative itself?

Hi Don,
I've re-read your question, and it looks like it needs some clarification (for me!).
Are you asking: (A) If standing somewhere on the ground in the area you've pictured, is there a pyramid that cannot be seen? ( That at any position the observer would always be able to see two?
(A) If I recall you should be able to see another (main 3-4dyn) pyramid from any one you are

Hi all,
I find Qakara Ibi attested very little. According to an online search he is found in the pTurin (I can make out semblance of 'ibi' (M17-D58-M17)), and in the Seti List (item 53), but the latter is damaged in the midsection (can only make out the feet of possibly G26(?).
Since I can't see where the actual phonetic of 'Qa' comes from in the name (and, technic

Hello all,
Bit of a silly request here.
I am looking for the drawing of the Sphinx, in particular, the one with it's front in profile with two pyramids (more 'pointed' than the actual) in the background. Anyone know the one I mean?
I've seen in a hundred times, but now can't track it down. I thought to start with the drawing because that's what I remember

Hi Katherine,
Thanks so much for this.
Not the best I was looking for, but it is a scan of a scan afterall ... and if EAT has accompanying (and clear) glyphs (not soley the authors' transliteration!), then I will have to invest.
Thank you, and Chris, for the yare.com link.

Thanks, Chris, I will look into the link.
Quick question: Do the plates in these volumes have high enough resolution to easily make out the glyphs?
For example, the ceilings of Seti and Ramses IV & VI?
I have plenty of material which have descriptions, decipherment, etc but the actual photos of the ceilings, etc are non-existent or illegible. Alexander Pogo was clear enough for Senm

Hi Chris,
Thanks.
To be blunt, I need them complete in front of me. If you have them in file form, it would be great to get them through email (let me know and I'll PM you), but if you only have physical hard copy I couldn't possibly put such a burden on you for scanning.
The early versions are public domain, and some people want to sell individual volumes for $200-4000.00 ea

Hi cladking,
Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
I gather from your comments and references that we can agree that 'zep tepi' was an abstract concept; it's use refers to a 'birth' of all things, however, does not specify the concept as directly (or even indirectly) related to the pyramid form, and by extension the pyramid of Khufu.

Dunno the name. Shenennek-Heru ? Shenennib ?

Utter tosh.
An Armenian claiming ancient Armenian source for ancient Egypt? Really ? Start of another 'Bosnian Pyramid' fraud? Not to mention, 'proto-indo-european' language does not exist in any recorded form, so do tell how he is comparing it to ancient Egyptian ? And so on.
And the 'Armenian Egyptology Centre' doesn't appear at the University it claims
