"The national bosom gives rise to the soldier." WTF is that even supposed to mean?

It means that looking at co-eds' "assets" makes GI Joe get a hard-on, Johnny.

Accurately drawn-up horoscopes were the most precise and fudge-proof date-fixing records possible previously to the technological advances of the last hundred years or so.

Record the planetary configuration in the heavens at the time a building was completed (as the Egyptians did), use a computer program to run the planetary orbits in reverse, and you can determine their dates, accurate to maybe a two week window.

Doing this comes up with only-possible-dates in the middle ages for "ancient Egyptian" monuments.

That 14C says are 4,500 years old.

A little cognitive dissonance there . . .

How are we to be sure that the "horoscopes" are actually horoscopes ,are accurate and cast for the date of build ?

So Herodotus couldn't have seen them then?

Herodotus could well have seen them.

The issue is whether he lived in the period Scallager et al. assigned him to, or when he really lived.

As always, it is casual assumptions that bring inquiry to grief.

Yes indeed. Like assuming that Herodotus lived in the middle ages you mean?

Herodotus apparently lived in the 18th century. He was a friend of Thomas Paine's!

Did he ever visit Egypt do you know?

Well I've just read through a lot of this and I found it fascinating!
Quite how they come to the conclusion that the existance of 'nations' leads to wars requires a lot distorted thought though.

Huh, i thought wars led to nations (or i guess nation-states), not the other way around.

Never asked him

You'd kind of have to read the book(s). Writing them is a cottage industry in Russia. Then again, Russia has an educational system that's bent on educating people rather than subverting them.
