:’) My interest goes back into the 1970s; Dr V died in, hmm, 1979 or 1980, so not long after my first reading of his books. IMHO his Ages In Chaos series is much more important, and should have been published first, just as its existence preceded that of WiC, and in fact led to it.
Well, Fred Nerks posted a link to the online version of Ages In Chaos which I haven’t read yet, so I’ll get on that one as time permits. Thanks for the insights.
If you liked Ages in Chaos, you’ll love Emmet Sweeney’s books. You can get a flavor for it easily enough doing google searches on ‘joseph’ and ‘imhotep’. For that matter, ‘Joseph’ is clearly not any sort of a normal Israelite name and after the Joseph described in Genesis, there is no mention of anybody being given that name again until the time of King David. “Joseph” and “Hotep” are almost the same word; the one might in fact be the root form of the other.
