What he most emphatically is not is a historian.
Given the tenor of his other books, and this review by an actual expert in the field, I would suggest that the book Huggy is quoting from is a mass of bullshit, plain and simple.
Actually I was quoting a magazine article, and that article used Poe as a source, and even then he is only talking about the sea faring capabilities of the ancient Egyptians, NOT mythology.

Quote:Richard Poe in “Black Spark, White Fire” argues that the assumption that the ancient Egyptians did not sail across the Mediterranean Sea is a carefully constructed scientific myth.I see how you ignored the Wiki links I also included.
So your desperate attempt to attack the source really has no merit. I should also add that I'm the ONLY one who posted a source...
Just so we're clear, are you saying that the Greeks came up with their own mythology independent of any outside influences?
