If, for example, it's a matter of life and death, they do tend to be pretty robust and hold their accuracy. Aboriginal folklore could be oldest accurate oral history in the world: Stories of ancient sea level rise have survived for 10,000 years.

Hanslune Posted January 16, 2020 #79 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Sir Wearer of Hats said: So.... an ancient group of people, descended from the pyramid builders (so let’s call them Ra Worshippers?) went underground to secretly protect their wisdom from the invaders but decided to take the coin of one invader (and notorious destroyer of hidden knowledge) the Christians? And they let another destroyer of hidden wisdom (the Arabs) write it down? Why become an actual Christian denomination rather than simply lip-service it? Why do they hold their ancient beliefs in such disregard that they’d become Christian? I mean, the whole burning of the Library of Alexandria and lynching of Hypatia should REALLY have sent a strong signal of “keep the hell away from these people”. I know several Copts to include one who was trained as an Egyptologist and another who was a college professor who became a Coptic priest and now lives in California with his 'flock'. Both needless to say, were earnest Christians with no knowledge of OK things - I asked specifically many years ago. All told I probably knew around a dozen Christian Egyptians professionally when I worked in the ME, again all were to my eye committed Christians - except one the civil engineer who specialized in ruin repairs and ancient architecture he was the only one who showed any interest in ancient things - beside the Lady who trained in Egyptology but then she spent her career in Belgium dealing with European archaeology and land use planning. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much a prime projection that the Copts have no oral history of AE and Scott in lying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own family history is made up of stories that DNA and records say are inaccurate. Some points are true (the nearer you get to today) but the tales set in the mid 19th to late 16th aren't supported.

Kmt_Sesh what sites in Egypt would you like to see re-examined or excavated for the first time? I'm partial as I said to getting under the areas near Giza but also a detailed re-examinations of the 2-3-4-5th dynasty mastabas, pyramids and the cemetery fields associated with them plus the AE forts in 'Palestine' and in Nubia. That's rather a tough one to settle on. May I say all of them? Seriously I'd like more attention on some of the sites that include Abydos, which was of criticalt (in my opinion) are ignored, more or less.

I used to called it 'Early Arab Ugly'. Egypt has an issue where if your home is incomplete, you don't have to pay property tax. The consequence? Lots and lots of permanently unfinished 2 storey buildings with full bottom floors and permanently empty and incomplete upper floors, leading to the style you refer to as "Early Arab Ugly". Maybe living in ruins gives Egyptians a sense of historic permanency? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Creighton Posted January 17, 2020 #98 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, Sir Wearer of Hats said: It’s somewhat disengenuous to implicitly compare an Oral tradition that lasted tens of thousands of years unmolested by outside cultures with one in the cultural melting pots of the world. Or anywhere else for that matter. It is well known that (largely as a result of its geography), O.K. ancient Egypt was a fairly insular society. The point here, however, is merely to demonstrate that the key element(s) of oral narratives can last intact for immense periods of time. And when this narrative relates information that is of a life or death nature then the central message of that oral narrative is highly resilient and resistant to change over centuries and millennia: Quote “Our working hypothesis is that oral transmission of narrative not only helps preserve and define certain aspects of a culture, such as its bonds to its language, location and history, but is also a particularly resilient tool with which a culture might defend itself against extinction during conditions of persecution. Hence, we might expect to find that the oral tradition will resist change to the core message of a key narrative, but will nevertheless welcome, or at least tolerate, necessary or peripheral additions and deletions to accommodate changes over time--be they political, geographical, economic or social.” - “The Vision of Theophilus: Resistance Through Orality Among the Persecuted Copts”, Egyptian Professor, Dr Fatin Morris Guirguis. From here. At the end of the day, however, your ‘objection’ does not actually disprove the Coptic-Egyptian story of Surid. This narrative states that the ancient ancestor kings were placed within the Great Pyramid. Given the other ‘clues’ in my article which, imo, point to the veracity of the Surid story, I think there is a very good chance that what the Coptic-Egyptians tell us in this regard is true--the Big Void will be found to contain the bodies of the ancient ancestor kings. Only time, however, may reveal the truth. If we’re very lucky. SC Edited January 17, 2020 by Scott Creighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
