This book is proof that many archeologists and egyptologists don't know what they are talking about.
For example when the Egyptologists say that The Eye of Horus is supposed to be the sun, this book shows this is simply impossible. It mentiones that the eye of Horus was measured in a specific number of cubits, and even the pupal is measured. ( I don't have the exact measurements handy but it works out to about 15-25 feet and the pupil about 6 feet) The entire object is about the size of a normal large room! How could the Egyptians measure the sun in such an exact number of cubits? Egyptologists completely ignore this! Obviously it's not the sun or an eye either so it indicates something completely unexpected is being measured, not what the authorities on these subjects are suggesting at all.
This book shows that we can't take the "authority" on certain subject for granted but should read the source material for ourselves.
It reads a bit dry, but hey, it's ancient history. This is a must read for serious ancient history researchers.
