		A new theory threatens to upend the government's food pyramid, the nutrition bible that is used by dieters, taught to schoolchildren across the country and plastered on bread labels.

	ANISTORITON: An Essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The battle of the Pyramids, between Napoleon Bonaparte's army and the Mamelukes, took place on July 21, 1798 and is considered by some Historians as one of the most famous battles in history.
		The battle can be considered of having some importance if we approach it differently; if we see it as part of an action that enabled the French scientists to study and revive a lost civilization, to put the foundations of Egyptology which could not have been developed under the Mameluke regime.
		If we reject this concept, perhaps the most special and attractive feature of the battle of the Pyramids could be this: it was a collision of two different worlds, taking place near the mysterious monuments of a great ancient civilization.

		As he has said, "the theories that the pyramids were built by people that came out of space, or the Jews or people from Atlantis have been disproved.
		The major discoveries that we made at Giza were the tombs of the pyramid builders which prove that the Egyptians built the pyramids and that they are the unique people who made this wonderful civilization." Egyptology flourished in the age of empire, but it is not an imperialist form of knowledge.
