Author Description

Excerpt from Egyptian Chronology: An Attempt to Conciliate the Ancient Schemes and to Educe a Rational System I desire most emphatically to disclaim the opinion formed by one or two friends who have seen the proof sheets that I wish to lower the epoch of human civilisation positive numbers compel me to adopt a lower epoch than that now in fashion for the intro duction of recorded history, which I cannot trace even in monarchic lists to an earlier date than 2924 B. C., but a civilisation which could produce such work as the early sculpture of Egypt before 2500 must have required many centuries to develop.
