FUSION Anomaly. Egypt as dogma concerning egypt (and ancient civilization in general) is wrong, It is now my solid opinion that ancient egypt has nothing to do at all http://fusionanomaly.net/egypt.html
Extractions: (7 Muluk ( Water ) / 12 Kumk'u - 189/260 - 12.19.12.2.9) Serpent in the Sky presents a revolutionary, exhaustively documented re-interpretation of the civilization of ancient Egypt; it is a study of the life work of the philosopher, Orientalist and mathematician, the late R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz. After two decades of study, mainly on site at the Temple of Luxor, Schwaller de Lubicz was able to prove that all that is accepted as dogma concerning Egypt (and ancient civilization in general) is wrong, or hopelessly inadequate; his work overthrows or undermines virtually every currently-cherished belief regarding man's history, and the 'evolution' of civilization. Egyptian science, medicine, mathematics and astronomy were all of an exponentially higher order of refinement and sophistication than modern scholars will acknowledge. The whole of Egyptian civilization was based upon a complete and precise understanding of universal laws. And this profound understanding manifested itself in a consistent, coherent and inter-related system that fused science, art and religion into a single organic Unity. In other words, it was exactly the opposite of what we find in the world today. Moreover, every aspect of Egyptian knowledge seems to have been complete at the very beginning. The sciences, artistic and architectural techniques and the hieroglyphic system show virtually no signs of a period of 'development'; indeed, many of the achievements of the earliest dynasties were never surpassed, or even equalled later on. This astonishing fact is readily admitted by orthodox Egyptologists, but the magnitude of the mystery it poses is skillfully understated, while its many implications go unmentioned.

Discovering Ancient Egypt The study of ancient egypt had by now reached an impasse; knowledge of the He was French Consulgeneral in egypt from 1802 to 1814 and again from 1820 http://www.uwm.edu/Course/egypt/0100/discoverersA.html
Extractions: The first major source from antiquity, however, is the Classical writer Herodotus (c. 484-430 BC), who is regarded as the Father of history. His account - the first attempt to separate fantasy from reality - was based on his firsthand observation of the monuments and on facts and evidence obtained from his discussions with the people, such as the priests, whom he met there. His work certainly contains inaccuracies, but he became one of the few authorities on whom medieval and modem European travellers could rely and was then quoted in their own works. He was born at Halicarnassus between 490 BC and 480 BC, and his extensive travels took him to Egypt in c.450 BC, during a period when the country was ruled by the Persians. Eventually, in retirement at Thurii in Italy, he added to his work The Histories which gave an account of the conflict between Greece and Persia and in Book II (called 'Euterpe') he examined Egypt and its civilization. He also shows a lively interest in the flora and fauna; he notes that 'they gather the water-lilies (called lotus by the Egyptians) which grow in great abundance when the river is full and floods the neighboring flats, and they dry them in the sun; then, from the centre of each flower, they pick out something which looks like a poppy-head, grind it, and make it into loaves which they bake.' Other descriptions provide information about their food:

Chronology Of Boys' Clothing: Ancient Civilizations Clothing in ancient egypt was almost always linen which is made from flax. In general, shoes were not worn. egyptian children in the summer usually went http://histclo.hispeed.com/chron/ancient/ancient.html
Extractions: Figure 1.This recreation of a boy in ancient Greece is from a well researched children's book titled Ancient GreeceCome and Discover my World . The book features the lifestyles and activities of an ancient Greek community. It was published by Two-Cam Publishing Ltd, London, 1998. A wonderful book with delightful photographs and illustrations of boys and girls depicting the wear of the day. Here we see Cleon who is nine years old. He is a citizen of Athens and when he grows up, will have to serve in the army. But for now he goes to school, helps his father and play sports. Here we see him with his tortoise-shell lyre. At school he is taught to recite poetry and play the lyre at the same time. Although the ancient world is not the focus of HBC, some information has been collected on clothing in ancient civilizations. It is only basic information as HBC has not yet been able to devote much attention to this topic. We have found some images of recreations or moderrn drawings. We are very interested un finding actual contemprary images showing boys clothing. Unfortunately such images are relatively rare. We have collected some information on the history and clothing technology of several important early civilaztion. The first major civilizations arose along fertile river vallies which supported the first pritive agriculyure. primitiveActual information on boys' clothing is extremely limited, but we will add what ever information becomes available.
Early Near East Civilizations B.A. Courses Two of these will be general papers on the history, literature and archeology ancient egypt, 1; E. 19 ancient egypt, 2; E. 20. ancient egypt, 3; E. 21. http://www.oriental.cam.ac.uk/earlyciv.html
Extractions: B.A. Course This course is designed for those who are interested in studying more than one of the first literate Old World civilizations and are not certain they want to devote half their time to learning an ancient language to a high level. The course covers three main regions: Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the early Aegean (Mycenaean and Minoan, Archaic and Classical Greece). Like the Egyptology course, it has a one-year Part I and a two-year Part II. In the first year you may select four papers. Two of these will be general papers on the history, literature and archeology of two of the three regions. The other two may be selected from a wide range which includes a language paper in each of the three areas, and two papers borrowed from Part I Archaeology and Anthropology , one on World Archaeology and one on Social Anthropology. So you must study two of the three regions, and then can choose whether to do one (or even two) of the languages, or to go for a more general paper in archaeology and/or anthropology. See lists of papers below , and for further details see Assyriology Egyptology and Classics In Part II students concentrate on one of the three regions with a range of subsidiary options. In each of the three options (Greek, Egyptian or Mesopotamian) one takes three core papers with a practical, and two others. One of these two is chosen from the core papers of one of the two other options. The other is a special subject taken from any of the three regions, and can be replaced by a dissertation. In addition, all students take a general paper on comparative and theoretical issues. See the lists of papers

Extractions: Egyptian Civilization The origins of ancient Egyptian civilization, which many regard as one of the fountainheads of Western culture, cannot be established with certainty. Archaeological evidence suggests that early dwellers in the Nile Valley were influenced by cultures of the Near East, but the degree of this influence is yet to be determined. Describing the development of Egyptian civilization, like attempts to identify its intellectual foundations, is largely a process of conjecture based on archaeological discoveries of enduring ruins, tombs, and monuments, many of which contain invaluable specimens of the ancient culture. Inscriptions in hieroglyphs, for instance, have provided priceless data. The framework for the study of the Dynastic period of Egyptian history, between the 1st dynasty and the Ptolemaic period, relies on the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, a Ptolemaic priest of the 3rd century BC, who organized the countrys rulers into 30 dynasties, roughly corresponding to families. General agreement exists on the division of Egyptian history, up to the conquest of Alexander the Great , into Old, Middle, and New kingdoms with intermediate periods, followed by the late and Ptolemaic periods, but chronology and genealogy are continually being refined in light of new evidence and by the use of increasingly sophisticated dating techniques.
