| What came to spark the stratospheric rise of ancient Egyptian civilization? |
From a land and age of mysteries, this for me
is still the greatest enigma of all.
How did an ancient agrarian society
suddenly flower into technological mastery – the Egyptian dynastic civilization suddenly arriving
fully formed it seems, employing advanced writing, architecture and sculpture, producing the first
great buildings in stone, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, mummification...
Like
my fictional alternative Egyptologist Anson Hunter, I am not a great fan of
Atlantean influencers.  |
| Is the 'spike' the most intriguing mystery of all? |
If they existed, the Egyptians, assiduous
record keepers, were exceedingly ungrateful about their benefactors, leaving not a
jot of thanks.
Yet there stands the Great Pyramid and other achievements with all their
dizzying external and internal symmetries... perplexing Egyptology (and inspiring fantasy sci-fi fiction like this novel on Amazon Kindle).
