One of the tragedies of history was the sacking of the library. Imagine what was lost.

Six months. It took them six months to burn all the library papyrus the final time it was destroyed. I still want to cry ever time that I think about it. So much has been lost.

A little side note: One of the links I have noted between the Hebrew civilization and the North American Tribes is not so much what is there as what is not. Human sacrifice is of course taboo to the Hebrew civilization but is quite common at some point in all others with two exceptions. The Egyptian civilization, which we know, had very close ties the Hebrews going way back and the majority of the tribes of North America. (The Pawnee were an exception here) In the Aztec legend you find that Quetzalcoatl taught against human sacrifice indicating that this was an idea that came from the outside, an import if your will.

Could the same idea have traveled from the north and stuck with the Northern tribes even as the Aztec’s discarded it?

It is too sad to contemplate very long.

Do you agree that the prefix McXxxx in Irish and Scottish names originates from an Egyptian word Meka(sp?) meaning "king"?
