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?

Huggy you were qouting a bullshit book. Just because you were qouting it via a bullshit conspiracy theorist's lying blog doesn't help you any; in fact it makes it worse.

The Egypt created western civilisation strain of pseudohistory is an especially stupid one.
