... , who lived in the days of the El-Amarna correspondence, applied cuneiform to the Hebrew alphabet, made of cuneiform an alphabetic writing, and, together with the Ionians, was expelled from his city by Assyrian conquerors and fled by sea. Cadmus introduced the Hebrew alphabet into Greece and applied it to the Greek language. King Nikrned had an Egyptian princess as his wife; and the legend has it that Cadmus brought with him a wife named Sphinx.[2 ] In the Oedipus legend the monster Sphinx guards the city of Seven-Gated Thebes in Boeotia.

... astronomical expertise derives from wartime experience as a Navigating Officer in the Royal Navy (1940-44). Since then, his principal activities have been in food technology and woodland management. Summary A detailed study of the claim that the pyramids of Giza were planned to mirror the constellation of Orion on the ground supports this hypothesis but reveals that the ancient Egyptians cannot have been quite such precise surveyors as is frequently claimed and that the era when the plan was conceived was probably around 800 BC. The book The Orion Mystery by R. Bauval and A. Gilbert, first published 1994 [1 ], presents a very plausible hypothesis as to how the pyramids of Giza and their environs were ...

So the word katzin is used for "officer" and sesem (sous) for "horse."1 Naarim, who saved Ramses at Kadesh, as already mentioned on an earlier page, is "boys" in Hebrew. Among the texts composed in the time of Ramses II there is a letter written by a scribe named Hori to a scribe named Amenemope.2 ...

Brugsch discovered a large number of enamelled tiles in a palatial ruin of Ramses III at the Lower Egyptian site of Tell el-Yehudiya (the Mound of the Jew).

Another and still more blatant case of prejudice is found in Richard J. Gillings' book Mathematics in the Time of the Pharaohs.

Like Neugebauer's book, that of Gillings contains important data where the author is factual ...
