Marduk, at one time in my life I had three teenage sons. Talking with you is simply nostalgic.

sure
whatever you say Beagle
clearly you are a genius that you constantly need to attempt to belittle me with your age and experience
maybe at some point you'll ask yourself why it isn't working
maybe at some point you'll aslo ask yourself why on every topic you have so far raised i apparently know far more than you do
why don't you just do what youre good at
go fishing

Actually I envy people who enjoy fishing.

i wouldn't be surpised to discover that you envy just about everyone who can do more than you can or who knows more than you do
its your whole character

So where are we up to now?

Don't forget to give me a shout when we get to the 'flash frozen' mammoths

We blew right by that, Essan.

That was Hapgood's 'evidence' anyway.

The section on the Osiris numbers was barely readable for me. I think Hancock got pretty far fetched and at one point I was afraid he was going to bring up Pyramid inches or something.

But then the discussion about Giza became very good reading.

I loved the part about the Inventory Stele and why it was discarded.

Beagle · Post by **Beagle** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:38 am

Yes, but he should have brought up the point about the neme on the Sphinx. It helps show that the inventory stele had validity.

I spotted something the other day while researching something else in which someone opined that Khufu was named for the pyramid rather than the other way around.

In other words, everyone knew the pyramid was dedicated to the god Khnum Khufu and the later pharoah by that name "adopted" it.

I'll have to go looking for that, again.

Hancock makes reference to that name on p. 302
