On going review of my book 'Comet Venus' here http://www.everythingselectric.com/forum/index.php?topic=178.msg706#msg706
31st January 2010
Added "Ancient cultures had no rules for kingship, why?" to a few basics here http://www.gks.uk.com/gks10/
26th January 2010
'Cosmic Catastrophe through the images' http://www.gks.uk.com/gks16/
20th January 2010
Added 'Comet Egypt' here http://www.gks.uk.com/gks15/
14th December 2009
Added some new material. Amun was the Aurora ! GKS14. It took me bloody ages to resurrect and physically identify this god. Hours, days, months of staring at Amun's images, but then I reasoned if the Sun was hazed red by countless tons of dust and debris, then this would doubtless 'feed the Sun' thus increasing the solar wind and subsequently earth's Aurora. Not just a polar phenomenon but aurora manifestations observed globally by all ancient cultures. The babylonians called the same phenomenon Marduk
11th November 2009
Comet Venus is now available through my 'self' publisher Troubador here http://www.gks.uk.com/buy/ It will also be available through Amazon shortly.
10th October 2009
'Comet Venus' is now in the 'printing stage' and should be available late October early November. Apologies for the delay and thank you all for enquiring.
10th August 2009
In anticipation of release of my second book 'COMET VENUS' at the end of September 2009 started to add some relevant material to Comet Venus GKS 13
28th March 2009
Started my second book. This will be titled COMET VENUS. The primary purpose of this book will be to show people hundreds of images of Venus in 'cometary form' as she appeared in the first millennium BC. Just I may add, as Velikovsky proposed. I will also conclusively identify the 'king of the gods' Amun (many will kick themselves!!). Headaches permitting I hope to be in print by the end of the year.
Added a few news items.
1st February 2009
The orthodox view deems that prior to ‘unification,' Upper and Lower Egypt (the 'two lands') were two separate kingdoms each with their own regalia. Upper Egypt (south) adopted the white crown, Lower Egypt (north) the Red crown. However, recent finds of an image of the red crown in Upper Egypt (the south, where it shouldn't be!) generations before unification has called this into question. This leading to an ad hoc explanation as to why.
“It is thus possible that the Red Crown indicated a different aspect of royalty than the White Crown and did not, at that time, have any geographical meaning at all.” (The Ancient Egypt Site).
I maintain scholars have shamefully misunderstood the meaning of ‘Upper and Lower Egypt,' the ‘Two Lands.' My explanation is so simple it beggars belief – there were indeed were two Egypt's - one ‘up' and one ‘down.' Upper and Lower Egypt were the firmament of heaven (Up) and a fixed flat earth (Lower). Unification, the very foundation upon which Egypt was built is a planetary body, in the guise of Egypt numerous pharaohs (GKS), appearing to traverse (from an earthly POV) between the two lands of heaven and Earth. This is why the regalia of the two lands (crowns, etc.) remained for the whole epoch of Pharaonic Egypt (See The Egyptian Dualism).

Added a bit more to The Aten was Mercury
26th January 2009
It is believed Upper and Lower Egypt (South and North) were first united under king Narmer circa 3200 BC. But recent discoveries have called this into question, in that, it seems the North and the South were not rivals but culturally united. As follows.
'Not Rivals but Culturally United.'
“Sensational discoveries by a Polish mission in the Nile Delta have revealed that far from being hostile regions as previously supposed, Upper and Lower Egypt were politically united in pre dynastic times, says Jill Kamil”
“Remarkable in that they reveal that the " Two Lands " of Upper and Lower Egypt were not rivals in pre dynastic times but culturally united.”
So much for the early iconic ‘smiting' imagery such as the one depicted on the Narmer Palette. I guess we'll have to rewrite the history books yet again!
26th January 2009
Added a bit more on Keegan's Egypt's warless model (gks7) scroll down.
25th January 2009 THE NONEXISTENT BATTLES OF THE PHARAOHS
I assert that the archetypal image of ancient god kings smiting their enemies, which can be found in scenes from Egypt through to the fertile-crescent and Anatolia, are time honoured recordings of battles in the heavens and have little if anything to do with events here on earth (see gks7). And, although I've suspected for some time that some Egyptologists do actually question the authenticity of Egypt's countless battles it difficult to get anything in writing. However, a colleague of mine (jno) has brought the following ‘extracts' to my attention. As can clearly be seen, some experts do actually take the stance that a number of Egyptian battles, “DID NOT TAKE PLACE !”
"The visual depiction of Egypt's enemies and their role became so prevalent that it is difficult to distinguish in the archaeological and textual sources between purely ritualistic and rhetorical references to foreigners and genuine historical records. Repeatedly, we find examples of battles, and king's smiting enemies that in fact, did not take place, but were mere copies of earlier scenes."
“The reliefs in the Old Kingdom mortuary temples of Sahure at Abusir and Pepi II at Saqqara , as well as the Late Period temple of Taharqa at Kawa, include stock scenes of a Libyan chief being smitten by the pharaoh, while the victim's wife and children beg for mercy. However, the personal names for the Libyans in all three scenes are repetitions and therefore suggest that these reliefs did not actually record historical events, but were rather an elaborate icon of Kingship.”

I was also recently pleased to learn that (lecture CD's on ancient battles) eminent military historian, lecturer and journalist John Keegan OBE favors a ritualistic warless Egypt model right up until the New Kingdom era. See gks7 (scroll down).
My question remains, did these ‘sacred' ancient battles take place or not? If so, why weren't the many hundreds of thousands of fallen Egyptian soldiers (or the slain enemy soldiers) memorialised? The criteria seems to based on the quantity of literal sources, inasmuch, the more accounts we have of a particular battle, then this somehow deems it to have taken place. This is very poor logic, almost ‘cherry picking' as to what did or didn't occur. Ancient battles should be verified by good old fashioned irrefutable archaeological evidence, they are not.
Most ‘alternative' writers such as myself can be easily dismissed by simply turning the subject round to hard evidence, and yet here I am, turning the tables and asking scholars for hard evidence!
I will of course add the above ‘supporting evidence' to my ‘The nonexistent battles of the Pharaohs' (gks7).
