Hmmm

Richard Poe is taking a little 'static' here.

I think they slam him harder then is required. I also slamed him less so on this forum on this issue. The issue was colonization of Greece by Egypt in the population transplant type of colonization. I am ready to accept Egyotian control of trade - exchanges of royalty for marriage purposes and access to Egyptian experts by the earlyand proto Greeks. But ethnic and military colonization as Poe postulated? No evidence exists. Cultural exchange? Sure! Greeks accepted a semetic religion (Christianity) without any Jewish armies marching on Greece for example. But I liked his book even if it was just based on well defended postulation. But on these alternate history topics - is that not all we have?
