[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]For those who don't approve of the current state of Egyptology, what changes would you like to see made to improve things?[/QUOTE]I think Egyptology should be gradually eliminated, and can be over time by relentless application of erudite scholarship which challenges Egyptological dogma. The concept of an 'ology', a branch of science devoted to a particular country is a bad idea. It de-normalises Kemet and subjects it to the biases of a self serving priesthood and its essentially Pan Europeanist ideology. The best way to challenge the profane [wst] priesthood of Egyptology is to keep pressing the debate, forcing the field open, and challenging its root assumptions. Many Egyptologists are not very knowledgable about Egypt. If you read them, it's amazing how much some of them will say, that is mere dumb repettition parroting what others have said, but having given it little actual thought. The Nile Valley and it's various nations should be studied as an integrated part of African history, and qualified 'experts' in academia should be required to have knowledge of African culture in general.
