Rupert sighed and said that was a good year although he knew it as year 1_y,459,232.7~x² of the Atlantean calendar

Not books as such, but radio broadcasts dealing with a wide range of topics discussed by experts. Ancient History features often. The programme is from the BBC as is titled "In our Time". The link is to the archive page with 908 broadcasts available. You do need to create an account though, which is odd considering they are also available on Youtube, but that's not what you want, though you can sample them to see if you think they are worth the bother. In Our Time

Cheers but it's on my list of podcasts already. Im looking for something more long form.

Cheers, that's a great suggestion. Completely forgot to load it after seeing an interview with Cline.

I do find Keith Hamilton's "Layman's Guides" quite interesting as he uses detailed historical and recent information as well as photos and drawings.

Sad that the three minor 'queens's' pyramids south of Menkaure’s pyramid has had no recent substructure exploration since 1837.  Also interesting info on the pyramids' temples.

Yes I eager await all of his work. Very valuable contributions to understanding those ruins and their context. Oh, and he answers questions and can be found at the Hall of Ma'at as 'Waggy'.

Speaking of stones, ah stone tools

There's a list of all known Waggy's Guides here.

Meet me in Atlantis is a fun book for the skeptically minded. A few things get a pass, but it's a fun overview of the various claims and the people who believe them.

This one?

I'm awaiting the channeled one called Betwixt Mu and Lemuria: A guide to not finding these. This will be by Rupert but he insists in writing it out fully as an inscription using a piece of flint. He's still on the Title Paper after eight months. Oh, he's also doing it on 8.5 x 11 foot (2.6 x 3.35 meter) granite slabs.

Indeed. Even made sure to check the authors name before posting, d'oh. 

 It was enjoyable.

Anyone encountered a claim about an Egyptian island called Mou? First I've heard of it, and it's being associated with Atlantis

Its just someone jawing on Facebook. It's completely new to me. Based on the context seems like a Hancock devote but it's the first time I've heard it. 

[Harte]

Maybe a misspelling?

It sounds a lot like a crank trying to establish the idea of Mu before the 19th Century. 

Not that respect for historiographic rigor ever kept phringers from adopting sus beliefs.

I've only ever seen it spelled "Moo" from that era.

The use of "Moo" would have provided some confirmation that the source was from then as far as I know.

Maybe a misspelling/typo?

Surely no such ignoramus would think to purposefully alter their spelling of the word "Moo" just so no one could invalidate their source.

[ShadowSot]

No, I asked. Genuinely meant mou. 

 Naturally can't point to any direct sources.

Unrelated to Mou

PDF of a very fine book on bronze age ships and seamanship. Some work I did with others on Cypus (dealing with ship anchors) was incorporated into it. Recommended if you are interested in sea related archaeology of the Bronze age.

It's not surprising. Obsidian was found in New Jersey dating from the Archaic. (Herbert Kraft) Powhatans described the Rockies to John Smith. 

I found some small pieces on 2 sites but the context was lost being in the plow zone.

There are some big beautiful glass flows around the Cascade cones.  Walking with a sharp eyed friend in Eastern Oregon, we have found a lot of small flakes, they seem to be common if you have the eye.   If not for him, I would have missed most of them.

Yes, I got quite good at finding stone tool 'spoor' at sites, that and seeing pottery sherds.

You should make me walk in back with the pack then and not in front where I might  trample specimens.
