"You obviously know very little Egyptology Jim."
No - course I don't Ache, I'm sure that it's a centuries old myth that the rulers of Egypt were regarded as deities running slave societies.
I visited Egypt several times, took the trip down the Nile, visited the temples, listened to the lectures, and came home and read Budge and Lane and Vercouter... and everything readable I could lay hands on, on the subject that interested me so much (as an amateur enthusiast of archaeology)
I'm sure you're going to put me straight on what I missed (when you have time, of course!!)
Your picture books don't interest me - lots of them for sale on every stall along our trip down the nile
Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall was an amature Egyptologist who became a journalist for the Daily Mail
"In London during World War I Arthur Weigall became a successful set-designer for the London revue stage. An association with film began: he worked with Bannister Merwin, Jack Buchanan, and Phyllis Monkton on the film Her Heritage, and in the 1920s Lord Northcliffe appointed him film critic for the Daily Mail. Later, one of his novels was made into the film Burning Sands by the producer George Melford."
A Daily Mail journalist who includes "lots of pictures" - just where I'd go for reliable information!!
Spiritualists, enthusiasts for slavery, Empire Loyalists and supporters of 'The independent Republic of Rutland' - this thread is becoming over-run by a couple of nutters
Time to return to sanity, I think - back to bck to the Nazification of Trump's America, I think.
