Extractions: by Yosef ben-Jochannan (A lecture delivered for the Minority Ethnic Unit of the Greater London Council, London, England, March 68, 1986. It was addressed mainly to the African community in London consisting of African people from the Caribbean and African people from Africa.) When we speak of the Nile Valley, of course we are talking about 4,100 miles of civilization, or the beginning of the birth of what is today called civilization. I can go to one case of literature in particular which will identify the Africans as the beginners of the civilization to which I refer. And since I am not foreign to the works of Africans in Egypt, otherwise called Egyptians, I think that should be satisfactory proof. This proof is housed in the London Museum that is holding artifacts of Egypt. In that museum you will find a document called the Papyrus of Hunifer . At least you should find it there. It was there when Sir E. A. Wallace Budge used it in his translation as part of the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Papyrus of Hunifer It was there at that time, a copy of which is in the library of Syracuse University in New York, and I quote from the hieratic writing, "We came from the beginning of the Nile where God Hapi dwells, at the foothills of The Mountains of the Moon." "We," meaning the Egyptians, as stated

Extractions: by: John F. Nunn The skills of the ancient Egyptians in preserving bodies through mummification are well known, but their expertise in the everyday medical practices needed to treat the living is less familiar and often misinterpreted. John F. Nunn draws on his own experience as an eminent doctor of medicine and an Egyptologist to reassess the evidence. He has translated and reviewed the original Egyptian medical papyri and has reconsidered other sources of information, including skeletons, mummies, statues, tomb paintings and coffins. Illustrations highlight symptoms of similar conditions in patients ancient and modern, and the criteria by which the Egyptian doctors made their diagnoses - many still valid today - are evaluated in the light of current medical knowledge. In addition, an appendix listing all known named doctors contains previously unpublished additions from newly translated texts. Spells and incantations and the relationship of magic and religion to medical practice are also explored. Published January 1996 by University of Oklahoma Press

Extractions: Forum "I could not understand [Plato's] dialogues until I visited Ethiopia.'' - Jean Doresse, Historian During the recent interview between journalist Haimanot Alemu and Dr Lapisso G. Delebo on ''face-to-face'' programme of Ethiopian Television (ETV), Jean Doresse's books were frequently refered to by the latter. Inspired by this Ato Akalu W. Mariam took the opportunity during his recent visit to France to find J. Doresse in his house in Fayance, about 926 km from Paris, and conduct an interview with him. J. Doresse, 85, is a renowned historian specializing on Egyptian and Ethiopian history. He had published a number of books on ancient and medieval history of Ethiopia including ''Ethiopia under the Kingdom of Queen of the Sheba'' and ''The Prester John of Ethiopia''. J. Doresse, who has spent much of his life time in Ethiopia, pioneered the French Archaeological study on Ethiopia and the center for the Ethio-French studies. He was also Editor-in-chief of the first French newspaper in Ethiopia "L'Ethiopie d'Aujourd'hui". J. Doresse is currently writing a book on the people of southern Ethiopia. He lives in Fayance, France, with his Ethiopian wife and his Ethiopian adopted son. Following are excerpts from the interview. Would you make a comparison between ancient Greece, Egypt and Ethiopia? How ancient are these countries?

Egyptology I Print Preview of Section Ancient Egypt , civilization that thrived along the Nile River in northeastern Africa for more than 3,000 years, from about 3300 bc to 30 bc . It was the longest-lived civilization of the ancient world. Geographically, the term ancient Egypt indicates the territory where the ancient Egyptians lived in the valley and delta of the Nile. Culturally, it refers to the ways ancient Egyptians spoke, worshiped, understood the nature of the physical world, organized their government, made their livings, entertained themselves, and related to others who were not Egyptian. The Nile River, which formed the focus of ancient Egyptian civilization, originates in the highlands of East Africa and flows northward throughout the length of what are now

Extractions: (In issue #10, Stephen Mehler reported on the search for a secret entrance to the Great Pyramid. The late Dr. R.O. Kinnaman claimed that, in the company of Sir William Flinders Petrie, he found just such an entrance. In an attempt to authenticate the claim Mehler went to Egypt in September and filed this report. With the plethora of articles in Atlantis Rising and other magazines recently concerning prophecies and predictions of events to happen within the next few years, there has been a flurry of visitors traveling to Egypt. Many groups, scientific and lay people alike, are wondering if the predictions of Edgar Cayce, Gordon Michael Scallion, and others about the opening or revealing of the alleged Hall of Records under the Sphinx and the Giza Plateau will actually occur in 1998-99.) It is in this light that the first preliminary site survey by the Kinnaman Foundation (see Atlantis Rising #10) was recently undertaken. A team consisting of myself and the head archivist of the foundation, Robert M. Vawter, spent a few weeks under the guidance and tutelage of one of the great masters of the indigenous traditions concerning ancient Egypt, Dr. Abdel Hakim Awyan. While we did not find an entrance into the Great Pyramid on the south face, nor anti-gravitational machines, nor records from Atlantis, we did document significant information, both geological and archaeological, to lend strong credence to the theories of a much older civilization once present in the Nile Valley.

Extractions: Dunn concludes that the pyramids were built with a technology superior to any presently in use and that they were "the power plants of the ancient Egyptians." He says the builders of the pyramids used them to convert the Earth's "vibrational energy into microwave energy." That energy "was most likely used for the same reasons we would use it todayto power machines and appliances."

Extractions: in GIZA Giza, that glorious governorate, has its roots extended to the very outset of the eternal Egyptian Civilization that has illuminated the land of the Nile Valley. It was in this governorate that the first capital of Egypt "Memphis" (now called Meet-Rahina) was set up three thousand years ago by King Men. Moreover, Giza has the eternal pyramids which are still testifying to the greatness of the Egyptian architecture. Giza is also priviliged by having Cairo University the largest and oldest academic University in the Middle East. The most important district It is no exaggeration to say that as far as tourism is concerned, Giza is considered the most important district in Egypt, since it contains a considerable number of ancient monuments, mineral and sulphuric springs, vast desert and a number of art and craft villages. In addition to these attractive facilities, there are fifty-two hotels of different classes accomodating more than 13,000 beds, 207 tourist establishments, including restaurants, cafeterias, and theatres opening their doors to tourists, as well as natives. We can say, assure, that Giza with all its touristic capabilities can afford to meet the requirement of the tourists of all ages and interests, including cultural, recreational, medical and contest tourism.

Extractions: A Conversation with David Childress "Maverick archaeologist and explorer David Hatcher Childress has combed the Indian Ocean, Australia and the Pacific in search of the astonishing truth about mankind's past." The author of Lost Cities of Atlantis, Ancient Europe & the Mediterranean shares his insights about lost civilizations. The Monthly Aspectarian: David Childress: I got started at an early age. My parents, who are Americans, liked to travel and I was born in France. I was fortunate when I was younger that I got to go to a lot of places in Europe, Greece and Turkey and to Mexico and Hawaii. I've always been interested in history and mysteries of the past, which included Atlantis. When I was nineteen and studying at the University of Montana. I had the opportunity to go to Taiwan as an English teacher. Then I headed for Nepal and the Himalayas and India and across Asia. I was in Afghanistan, and then through the Middle East, through Syria and Jordan to Israel. I worked in Israel for a while on a kibbutz. Eventually I went to Egypt. I'd always wanted to see the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. This is all back in the late '70s. Eventually I traveled through Africa for two and a half years and returned to India and then to China where I became one of the first tourists ever to travel around on my own. I returned to the U.S., where I started writing my books. The first book was called A Hitchhiker's Guide and Africa and Arabia. Then after that was my first lost cities book, which was called Lost Cities of China, Central Asia and India.

NOVA Online/Pyramids/How Old Are The Pyramids? from ancient egypt that you might use as a starting point for dating the pyramids? But we saw in many places, even on the giant pyramids of Giza, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pyramid/explore/howold2.html
Extractions: LEHNER: It's not a direct approach. There are people coming from a New Age perspective who want the pyramids to be very old, much older than Egyptologists are willing to agree. There are people who want them to be built by extraterrestrials, or inspired by extraterrestrials, or built by a lost civilization whose records are otherwise unknown to us. And similar ideas are said about the Sphinx. And in response to the evidence that we have for the time in which the pyramids are built, the criticism is often leveled at scholars that they're only dealing with circumstantial information. It's all just circumstantial. And sometimes we smile at that, because virtually all information in archaeology is circumstantial. Rarely do we have people from thousands of years ago who are writing, who are signing confessions. So there's no one easy way that we know what the date of the pyramids happens to be. It's mostly by context. The pyramids are surrounded by cemeteries of other tombs. In these tombs we find bodies. Sometimes we find organic materials, like fragments of reed, and wood, wooden coffins. We find the bones of the people who lived and were buried in these tombs. All that can be radiocarbon dated, for example. But primarily we date the pyramids by their position in the development of Egyptian architecture and material culture over the broad sweep of 3,000 years. So we're not dealing with any one foothold of factual knowledge at Giza itself. We're dealing with basically the entirety of Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology.
