From professor Peter Manuelian here.
Those of you interested in demonology will want to be aware of this emerging resource: the ancient Egyptian “demonbase.” The landing page description reads in part: For the first time, we bring you a sample of supernatural beings—some fully human, some...
You may have seen this item enthusiastically recently reported on the Ancient Code site: “Scientists: Geological evidence shows the Great Sphinx is 800,000 years old.” Ancient Code is a repository of fringe archaeology. Surprise! What Ancient Code...
I know I blogged about this recently, but I came across the item below today and thought I’d post it now instead of later. As to the question in the post title …. Short answer: No. Anyone who has look at Egyptian art knows that Egyptians portrayed...
I had a brief question tonight in email about Afrocentric Bible interpretation. I thought others might be interested in Yamauchi’s short overview of the subject. Afrocentrism and Afrocentric Biblical Interpretation The file / excerpt comes from Yamauchi’s...
Some of you may have heard about the new BYU excavations at the Fag el-Gamous necropolis in Egypt. Because the area is so large (300 acres) and the mummies recovered at buried in mass graves (these are commoners of the Roman era through Late Antiquity), some...

Hi, everyone,
The recent posting by the Giza Archives Project website of a preliminary plan of the Tomb of the Birds, through which access can be gained to Giza’s previously unrecorded cave system, has only deepened the mystery. The plan, made as part of George Reisner’s Harvard-MFA expedition in 1939, does not even show the full extent of the tomb, never mind the cave system beyond it.
I know this story has already been mentioned on the site, but for those not familiar with it yet, see “More on the So-called “Caves” at Giza”, September 16, 2009, at http://pmanuelian.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/more-on-the-so-called-“caves”-at-giza/
And my response at:

I examine where this leaves us now.
I full plan of the tomb and caves has been drawn, and I shall post this in the future.
Andrew’s reference to a full plan of the tomb and caves could be misconstrued. The plan shows the tomb and caves to the extent that they were explored in March and April 2008.
Regards,
Nigel Skinner-Simpson
