	Phoenicians in Egypt
		There are numerous instances within Egypt of hieroglyphs being used wrongly and it is possible that the use of hieroglyphs had developed amuletic properties regardless of their role as a script.
		During the predynastic era in Egypt ivory had been used to produce a large number of "powerfacts" (Hoffman 1980: 316), "objects with symbolic linkages to the ideal role and personification of kingship", and the material was used instead of what appear to be more valuable materials (Hoffman 1908, Spencer 1993).
		Petrie said, after his excavations in northern Egypt during 1890-91, that a "profound separation existed between the 22nd Dynasty and all that was previous, and that the new men of the Delta must have obtained their habits from a fresh source" (Petrie 1974b).

	The Ancient Egypt Site - 3rd Dynasty
		As was the case with the 2nd Dynasty, establishing the chronology of the 3rd Dynasty has proven to be quite problematic.
		Except for Huni, who is accepted to have been the dynasty's last king, the actual monuments of the 3rd Dynasty kings mention their Horus-names whereas the later king-lists are based on their birth names (nomen).
		In view of the sources it may be tempting to equate the Horus Qa-Hedjet with Huni, the last king of the dynasty, particularly because the Horus-name of Huni is not known either.

	Saudi Aramco World : The Smell of Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Built as part of the funerary equipment of King Cheops, second ruler of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom, the boat, just over 142 feet long, is a majestic curve of age-darkened cedar, its aroma still pungent some 46 centuries after it was buried in a pit near the great pyramid.
		One of the most exciting archeological finds of all time, the boat was discovered in 1954 when workmen from the Egyptian antiquities department were clearing a great mound of wind-blown debris from the south side of the pyramid thought to be the burial place of Cheops.
		Although in ancient Egypt, it is true, the deified king was said to accompany the sun-god on his eternal rounds, Hag Ahmed has pointed out that the dead king would not need a separate boat of his own; he would have joined the sun-god in the god's own barge.

		"Egypt," wrote the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, "is the gift of the Nile." John Wilson amplifies Herodotus's theme, showing how the rich soils of the Nile made possible the growth of civilizations from the earliest native dynasties to the late Roman empire.
		The story of Egypt is the story of history itself--the endless rise and fall, the life and death and life again of the eternal human effort to endure, enjoy, and understand the mystery of our universe.
		Then Egypt began to crumble into the desert sands and the waters of the Nile, and her remarkable achievements in civilization became her lingering epitaph.
