The author cites the Bible but uses the new age dating term “B.C.E.” (before common era) rather than “B.C.” (before Christ). I can’t stand that. Sorry Think of it as "Before Christ existed." Talk about it that way, too. We have to fight back when people try to make the language PC.

“...he is described on the scarab as an “overseer of the treasury.”
And yet he lost his official seal. (Some things never change!)
I always think of it as “Before Christian Era”.

In fact Ihad read that the ultimate acronym meaning was Before the Christian Era. Which made much more sense to me than “common”. Common what?
