I am not sure if this has been discussed before.

I just came across this site and would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this.

Do you think this is true? How on earth did they get there? What route did they take? Around Africa? Surely they would have stopped along the way and there would be other evidence? Wow! to think that at the time they would have been supposedly building the pyramids they were trotting across the globe!!! Perhaps they made it to America also?

Thor Heyerdal proved that travel onboard lowtech papyrus ships was definitely possible over long distances.The "RA" expdedition wasn't the only one he organised read more bout it here , more of his expeditions made clear that it was at least "technically" possible for older civilisations to travel much further we might imagine . As for the OZ egyptians , hmmmm honnestly smells fishy to me .

Best thing you can do, is try to get evidence. Check if this report is truth, find other sites that use it and especailly try to find a paper copy of it.

I'll look into it as much as I can, I have my people doing some resaerch on the guy who wrote the article at the moment. Want to check out if he has made any other "wild" claims.


Odium,
I looked into this somewhat last year. Found some info at
Doug's Archaeology Site. Its "An email discussion between an Australian Egyptologist, Gregory P. Gilbert, and an Austraulian musician inquiring about them." Here's the link to the email discussion:
members.ozemail.com.au...

A short quote from it:


As far as translation is concerned, the inscription has several features which were copied from several 'modern' publications of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, however the greater part of the inscription cannot be translated as it is nothing more than a collection hieroglyphs which do not form words or phrases. The exception, which seems to prove conclusively that this is a modern copy, is the copy of the king's names and titles found within photo e5r. In this photo, the large box on the left (which should be a cartoush) is headed by the Sedge Plant and Bee title which means 'King of Upper and Lower Egypt', while the name within the box is 'Khufu', who was in fact the 4th dynasty king of Egypt who built the Great Pyramid at Giza (ie. he is very well known). The box on the right is headed by a Duck and Sun title which means 'Son of Re', while the name within the box is unknown but possible could be read as 'Neferankhru'. Interestingly this name is written similar to Khufu's fathers name Sneferu' but has used an Ankh sign instead of a Rolled linen sign. So if we were to believe this inscription we would think that it was of Khufu of the 4th dynasty, unfortunately the 'Son of Re' title was not used until the 5th dynasty and hence this creates a major problem in our believing this text.


Hope this will help everyone.

If I were you (all), I'd save the link to Dougs Site in my "favorites" folder. Check out some of the other info he links to as well. It would save everyone here a lot of time, questioners and anwerers.
