Harte Posted May 23, 2018 #654 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I don't know about "debunked" in the strictest sense of the term. However, it has been shown that there are other, more realistic, possibilities. Harte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Harry Posted May 29, 2018 #656 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Upon further reflection I am inclined to consider that there may have been transoceanic trade in boomerangs between the Egyptians and the aboriginal population of Australia. The similarities between boomerangs and the throw sticks used to hunt waterfowl on the Nile Delta are uncanny. I admit to initially being skeptical of the Gosford Glyphs. However, during a recent holiday excursion in Australia I had the opportunity to observe the glyphs first hand and cam personally attest to their authenticity. My translation of the glyphs have revealed that the document describes a trading expedition during the reign of Khufu bearing gold, incense and natron in exchange for boomerangs, eucalyptus wood, and marsupial pelts.

Lord Harry Posted May 29, 2018 #657 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The Gosford glyphs also reveal the presence of an Egyptianized tribe of Aborigines whose king ordered the construction of a 200 foot high pyramid of red stone somewhere in the desert.

Oniomancer Posted May 29, 2018 #658 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The questions you need to ask are: How long have people been throwing sticks at things? What is the optimal way to make a stick for throwing at something? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Harry Posted May 29, 2018 #659 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I agree with your above wholeheartedly. Which is why I was initially dismissive of the Gosford glyphs.

Hi oniomancer I believe archeology has identified the precursor of the throwing stick which oddly enough is called a stick who invented it is still an unknown, my bet is it was Cain. jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who's taken courses in Egyptology can spot that there's nothing genuine there. I did research for a four-part article in my blog about Gosford. I had the assistance of an Aussie from that area, who knows tons more than I do about its history. I can't recall all of the particulars (they're in my blog) but I recall that the glyphs started appearing in the 1970s. Or was it the '80s? That's CE, not BCE. I recall that it started among some college students, or some such. But I've never heard that someone was caught in the act. Whatever the case, it's agreed the Gosford glyphs are fake. Anyone with any Egyptology training knows that for a fact. Moreover, several Egyptologists have weighed in and promounced them fake. It's well understood that Gosford is a sloppy, half-witted hoax. Nevertheless, that four-part article of mine generates more traffic on my blog than any of my other articles. It surprises me the degree of passion the fringe crowd brings to their beliefs about these fake glyphs. Strangely, my next most-popular article is the one I did on circumcision in ancient Egypt. People seem too interested in that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed a mistake in the first few paragraphs of the article. The author claims that most Egyptologists are unable to read the earliest version of the Egyptian script since they are trained to read Middle Egyptian and the progressively later scripts. This isn't true, as Old Egyptian differs relatively little from late Egyptian. The major differences being the former triples the determinative to indicate the plural and uses archaic, though nevertheless recognizable pronouns. Edited: Djedefre reigned during the Fourth, NOT the Third Dynasty. Edited May 30, 2018 by Lord Harry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
