However far and away Mr. Hancock's best work is a book called "The Sign and the Seal".

Thanks for reminding me about that. I started reading it but then got Fingerprints of the Gods and got engrossed in it. I'll have to crack it open again and this time finish it.

He does have some far out theories and researches them quite well. I'd stil like to know how the Egyptians created on the banks of the Nile, an exact replica of the night sky (Orion's Belt) as would have been seen in, what was it; 10,500 BC? if the pyramids were only built around 2,500 BC.

I tend to think the pyramids were built much earlier but by whom, when and how I have not got a clue. Somewhere God says in the Bible that he has left a sign in the boundaries of Egypt--I have wondered if the pyramids might not be the sign. Who knows. I am sure you know, the pyramids are beyond our technical capility to duplicate today. I have a book by some expert on composits that theorizes that the blocks were not carved but are rather poured composits.

Sign and Seal is also very interesting reading. The significant points are that during the period from about 600 BC until about 200 BC, there was a Jewish temple located on the island of Elephantine in the Nile in Egypt. Letters from the priests on the island have turned up. Eugene Falstich used those letters to establish chronology of the Median and Babylonian kings. Hancock's real thesis which I think has considerable merit is that during the reign of Mannasah in Judea, the priests took the Ark of the Covenant from the Temple to a new temple they constructed at Elephantine where they stayed with the Ark until they were kicked out in about 200 BC at which point they proceeded on up the Nile to Lake Tara in Ethopia and then ultimatly to Aksum where the Ark is now located.
