Thanks OP for presenting this e-book for further reading. I just read through most of it is a quick and easy read for those interested.
A couple of things to present that bothered me about the book -
Why be anonymous? Is it to create an air of mystery around the text to elevate it to a higher level of subject matter. Why not give your name if you
did all this research and back study? Anyone else have thoughts on this?
The other thing that jumped out at me is the section which discusses Nefertiti having an elongated skull.
Author says, "...many cultures adopted head-binding techniques to force unnatural skull growth producing an elongated head. This was especially
popular among upper-class families..."
The author then follows that up with this statement which I see as pure speculation -
"...it is likely that the imagery of Nefertiti is an exaggeration to make her appear to be a member of a race she was not, a race in which the
ancient Egyptians had knowledge and whom they considered had status above them".
Huh??? Wasn't Nefertiti a powerful Queen, whose son was King Tutankhamun and husband was Ahkhenaten? If they had elongated skulls wouldn't it most
likely be to signify power and status.
All I could think of after reading that section was the Chinese art of foot binding or the Burmese custom of neck rings or even or latest craze of
breast augmentation.
If I said that there once lived an powerful ancient race of beings who had small clubbed feet, long necks and big boobs and these self-modifications
are to imitate our powerful ancient rulers, would you believe me?
I wish the author would have decided one direction to go in, fact or opinion.
*I am really starting to believe that my short time here at ATS has changed me. I am so skeptical of everything now.
