I'm spoiling for a fight.

I'm still struggling to help my kids with monomials and 7^th grade math.

I have serious concerns about someone who plans attacks on everything orthodox egyptology. What's next...microwaving kittens?

I've been provoked.

For four years I very curteously sought answers and tried to get basic informatiion and to get my ideas considered. Mostly I was attacked and ridiculed and exposed to various semantical and specious arguments. Then they decided to ignore me.

In their defense several people were quite helpful and I did have to keep attacking orthodoxy for tactical reasons. But I want answers and all that's happening is foot dragging and a circling of the wagons to protect the status quo. I believe it might be critical to have an answer in the relatively near future because it might have profound implications for people today. I don't have forever to get this done and they've been protecting the status quo and not getting answers for 150 years now. There may be no field of study more insular than egyptology. The head man is said to sneer when he talks about amateurs and has made some statements which have to be taken highly critical of non egyptologists.

So now I just state the facts as I have come to see them and that is that egyptology is a religion. It is a religion founded on the assumption that the pyramids werwe built with ramps and that they wewre tombs. It is founded on the assumption that there were no major changes in the culture or the religion before the 5^th dynasty. If these assumptions are true then they are likely right about most everything but I believe all these assumptions are in error.
