Writer raises issue of Egtyptology dating criteria

PR-GB.com
"Egyptologists are now secretly admitting, but only amongst themselves in their inner cabals (colloquiums), that the chronology framework for ancient Egypt between 2000 and 500 BC is chaotic and that a 'new political history for ancient Egypt will take another hundred years to establish'". Mr Don Stewart, currently auditing the Egyptology Profession, and a former economist for the United States Department of Agriculture's FAS, also former analyst for New Zealand Science Ministry 'MoRST', today announced these findings from an Egyptology colloquium he attended in 2002.

He added, "Egyptologists at the Colloquium raised the possibility of considering a new process whereby they will in future ignore any evidence which is not found 'in situ' in archaeological investigations or anything that is not either pottery-, statue- or building- or any other physical object-based."

Mr Stewart is the author of 'Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses and the Winged Disk of Judah'. The book, currently deposited at the British Library and Ashmolean Museum Library, analyses William Flinders Petrie's excavations at Memphis between 1908 and 1914.
