[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] I am not sure about the Papyrus of Hunefer,but I believe Dr. Ben quoted it. alTakruri, what is your comment on Dr. Ben's quotation of the Papyrus of Hunifer in his book? [/b][/QUOTE] I gave my opinion already. Doc Ben has dozens of books which one and which page do you mean? I think I remember this Mountains of the Moon "quote" from Black Man of the Nile and his Family. Then again he uses it in a speech before the Minority Ethnic Unit of the Greater London Council. Has anyone but anyone ever properly cited the quoted text under question? The Papyrus of Hu-nefer (British Museum number 9901) is written in hieroglyphic not hieratic. When researchers scour the supposed source they can’t seem to find the questioned quote which makes a collective historical statement concerning all Kmtyw even though the scroll itself is an individualistic and very personal afterlife religious text. I used to rely on Doc Ben’s statement but now being older and being able to apply critical analysis I cannot accept work that is irreplicable no matter how honored its author may be. If someone can supply the sheet and line number of a Papyrus of Hunifer with the Mountains of the Moon quote I will gladly revise my views. Until then I remain skeptical. My interest is in history not ideaology. [/QB][/QUOTE]
