review by the author "Jane Sellers on how alternative authors have misrepresented her workOut of print for over three years, the only information has been through such New-age writers as Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, who I feel have misrepresented my ideas. This work is not about astrology, although the zodiac must be discussed, nor is it about any numbers being encoded by the ancient Egyptians, as reported by these writers. In fact I had written just the opposite, pointing out that the number 72 was inserted into the story of Osiris by Plutarch, which would be after the time of Hipparchus, which would mean that the information was 'out there.' I was trying to make quite a different point. Unfortunately, my reporting of the interest by ancient cultures in certain numbers, as discussed by writers such as Joseph Campbell, and my wondering about an alternative use for the outdated sky calendars buried with Seti I and Ramesses IV seem to have won me a place in the hearts of those whose ideas have no support from me. I have long felt I should defend my book,and to that end I have labored for a year to bring forth a revised and updated version. This version has additional illustrations and supporting computer images of the precessionally changed sky over key predynastic settlements. This is for those interested in seeking a verifiable origin, or basis, for the Egyptian belief system, and is a serious and thoughtful investigation.

Sorry about your constipation. A lesser person would have a field day with that one. Life calls, and I have one. I'll discuss things with you later.
