I came to realize this comic narrative stuff after someone researched the material used for the mummy process, and found tobacco. Naturally, you can’t suggest that in public because you only find tobacco in the Americas, and the Egyptians never went there...as defined by their concrete-history episode.
I’d almost say it similar to the Catholic Church practice of no round-Earth, until science out-ruled them.
Thanks - I had forgotten the bit about tobacco.
BTW: some think that the huge ancient copper mines in upper Michigan (the land of Punt?) were mined by the Egyptians - as there is no way that Indians used as much copper as came from the mines; and in fact that copper may have fueled the Copper Age - as no other mines have been found to account for the tonnage used by the Egyptians and others.
