Did you buy the book? If so, how is it?

From the sample I got to read on the chronological table. Interesting to see it being reconfirmed, originating from the South.

Thanks for showing pg 13. I wasn't aware Egyptologists understood the concept that words can be organized to form meaning in ways dissimilar to the way we make meaning. I believe the ancient language was metaphysical in nature and contained all their knowledge as well as the rules, grammar, and axioms required to conduct their science. This seems to have escaped Egyptology but the ancients can't be understood until their science is.

Perhapds this book really is a baby step in that direction.

I've read what they show in the preview and find it absolutely fascinating. He seems to have a handle on the reality of ancient science but can't understand that science can be based on observation and things are "named" rather than defined. Like all modern people he can't see that theory is required for invention and since he can't see that theory can result from observation he doesn't really make sense of any of it. The ancients couldn't divide knowledge into specialties because they modeled reality itself in their minds. If you take reality apart, there is nothing left. Each person from t the archetect, to the scribes, to the workers had to have an understanding of all human knowledge to the extent of their ability and their knowledge of the names of things.

I don't think I could put the book down if I had it but doubt there will be much useful to me other than confirmation of things I already know. Things that dispute my beliefs are of more value.

Are you crazy? I asked you how is the book. Your respond is, it's from 2012. lol

I did not ask when it was published. I said, from the sample I find the chronology chronological table interesting. SMH


The chronological table shows how ancient Egypt arose at the South. As we always have stated here at Egyptsearch.
