I acknowledge a debt of inspiration to the romancers of Egypt’s past and to the patient labourers in the field of scientific Egyptology |
In an echo of an ancient Egyptian magical
formula, I thank every Egyptologist, every alternative theorist, every writer
on ancient Egypt, every publisher of books on Egypt, those involved in every TV
documentary, every Egyptian exhibition, every film, every journal, every
magazine, every lecture, every bookstore and library with an ancient Egypt
section, every study tour of Egypt, every ancient Egyptian website and blog and
every guide in Egypt and every keeper of antiquities and everyone who has
helped to spark my imagination and love of Egypt’s past and concern for its
future.
