Anyway, the jist of the book was during the end of Akhenaten's reign in Egypt, his daughter "Scota" managed to escape with several people, military men who where her bodyguards if I remember correctly, fled in their boats and eventually wound up in whats now Ireland.
The book also mentioned the findings of Egyptian style boats embeded in peat around 1938 or somewhere in the late 30s. And also of artifacts found in cairns that bore a strong resemblence to similar artifacts from Egypt, manely some kind of necklace with a man-made stone of some sort made (I think) from copper salts.
The researchers do not think the Egyptians influenced the Scots, but that mummification arose independently in the two regions.
The "experts" are always saying something like this. Its getting old listening to the orthadox veiws on human history. They don't like the idea of "what if?"
