Egypt did not exist in a vacuum, dummy. Why don't you put down your bible and your conspiracy horseshit and read some real literature on the subject of Bronze Age commerce - of which Egypt was a major factor. Try Eric Cline's 1177 BC for starters.
Don't be frightened by the big words.
You do realize that book was published in 2014 right? that's well after your article from 2009, which stated:

Quote:“This project has demonstrated the extraordinary capability of the Egyptians at sea,” Ward said. “Many people, including my fellow archaeologists, think of the Egyptians as tied to the Nile River and lacking in the ability to go to sea. For 25 years, my research has been dedicated to showing the scope of their ability and now, to proving their independently invented approach to ship construction worked magnificently at sea.”
The project grew out of the 2006 discovery of the oldest remains of seafaring ships in the world in manmade caves at Wadi Gawasis, on the edge of the Egyptian desert.
Why would someone dedicate their time to prove something that, as you say wasn't ever in dispute?
I like how you attempt to obfuscate the issue by bringing up "conspiracies". Please show me where one conspiracy was mentioned?
Either Poe's claims are true or false, and according to your own article they appear to be true. If were going to dismiss everything someone says because they hold some questionable beliefs unrelated to the subject, why stop at Poe?

Quote:George Ellory Hale was the driving force behind building the world’s largest observatory till then -- the 200-inch glass giant of Palomar. He also revolutionized our understanding of the sun, inventing the spectroheliograph, with which he made his discoveries of the solar vortices and magnetic fields of sun spots. And who was Hale’s primary science advisor? An elf. Beginning at age 42, Hale says a “little elf” appeared in his window sill and told him to get the Palomar project started. Hale says his “little elf” also advised him on other scientific work.Hales relationship with his “little elf” is documented in Helen Wright’s 1966 book, “Explorer of the Universe.”
