However, it's not infallible. As a test, I asked it "tell me about Egyptian magical knives" and got this: ------------------- Egyptian magical knives, also known as "wands," were believed to have been used in ancient Egyptian rituals and ceremonies. They were often made of metal or precious stones and were used to direct energy or as a tool for divination. The knivesby Byrd - Laboratory

That contradicts most of the genetic evidence, I believe, and the conference title suggests an effort to rework human history to give their region far more importance in the creation of culture and technology: "Proto-Turks Bearing Culture to the World Workshop” DNA doesn't seem to suggest the Siberians populating important areas of the world, though I do note that the advance of theby Byrd - Ancient History
Honestly, in listening to her talk and catching many things that are flatly incorrect, I'd say that it was one of those connections made from groups of false facts. In logical terms, you can make a "true" by combining false facts; i.e., "if Nut is Cygnus and Horus is a Ophiuchus, then Osiris is actually the Pleaides."

Interesting and somewhat confusing, as you say. Pepi II had a queen named Neith, whose pyramid contains some of the famed Pyramid Texts. This section of the Wikipedia article on the Pyramid Texts contains a short discussion on the similarities and differences of some of the texts in her pyramid: I was aware of it because of James Allen's fabulous "Writings from the Ancient Worlby Byrd - Ancient Egypt
An excellent blog about this is One thing mentioned in the writing is that princesses weren't just women sitting in the harems, eating dates and shaking sitrums at the sky. They had jobs in the religious life of Egypt and were never married off to foreigners. As the writer says, "The only way you actually quit those jobs in Egypt was by dying."

"Binary code"? No, that puts the nail in the coffin (along with the marvelous coincidence that aliens use 1AD as a reference for their dates, AND conveniently use the exact same positional notation (latitude and longitude) that we use, even using the Prime meridian as their starting point.

It's almost Christmas and tomorrow we'll be traveling from Dallas to Oklahoma City to have Christmas with the kids and grandkids. It's cold here, but the house is warm and I've got a lovely warm kitty who wants to keep my lap warm tonight.

All the sciences are fairly quarrelsome, and I think this plays into the public (mis)understanding of science. Most people want a pat answer (like "how much is that doggie in the window" and an answer of $5.00 rather than "Well, it WAS $5, but that dog has been reclassified to a scentwork dog and now it's $18.50" or "new evidence showed up and that's not a doby Byrd - Ancient History

The first three warnings basically restrict almost everyone on this forum to not read any further - you don't want readers who follow the scientific consensus (so that would mean no critiques based on how high tsunamis can get with Earth's gravity or how far they travel), you say there's a mental health risk in reading your paper (which I don't believe a written work is capablby Byrd - Ancient Egypt
