	Egyptology - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Egyptology is the scientific study of Ancient Egypt and Egyptian antiquities and is a regional and thematic branch of the larger disciplines of ancient history and archaeology.
		Egyptology investigates the range of Ancient Egyptian culture (language, literature, history, religion, art, economics, and ethics) from the 5th millennium BC up to the end of Roman rule in the 4th century AD.
		Modern Egyptology (as opposed to an antiquarian interest in the land of Egypt) is generally perceived as beginning in the year 1822, when Jean-François Champollion announced his general decipherment of the system of Egyptian hieroglyphics for the first time, employing the Rosetta Stone as his primary aid.

	Roman and Egyptian Foot
		The nature of the problem was clearly stated by Böckh when in 1838 he settled for the calculation of the Roman foot by Wurm as 131.15 Paris lines (295.8521 mm.), but observed that certainly there were shorter varieties of Roman foot.
		The problem of squaring the circle was connatural to the organization of measures, since the units of volume were calculated as cubes, but measuring vessels were constructed as cylinders.
		Girard remarks that one of the fundamental problems for ancient surveyors was that of constructing a square double of another: for instance, Roman surveyors reckoned by actus (120 x 120 feet), by its double the iugerum (120 x 240), and by the double of the iugerum, the heredium (240 x 240).

	On Proving Ancient Megalith Construction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Parsimony states that when two or more theories are presented that propose to solve the same problem, the simplest that gives the most complete and satisfying explanation has priority to be studied in detail as it is the most probable.
		When problems remain unsolved after sufficient time has passed in which they reasonably could be expected to have been solved, this is the prime clue to beware of deception.
		Every unsolved ancient megalith is a potential candidate for ancient cement because the cut and drag models have failed to produce a provable theory for lifting and precision construction.

	Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Hyksos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It is significant that the Hyksos departure as such is not currently known from any Levantine literature contemporary with the event, while the Exodus is told in the Bible as the formative event of Jewish culture.
		Under this theory, Egyptian rulers of 13th Dynasty were unable to stop the newcomers mostly because they were inept or too busy with internal problems.
		At some point the foreigners, whose elite might have already been local rulers in the name of the pharaoh, realized there was no need to pay tribute and obedience to a weak king, and took the title of pharaoh for themselves (in the north of the country--the Hyksos never penetrated the south).

	Afrocentric Debate
		Techniques for approximating the surface area of a particular sphere, with given numerical radius, were known to Egyptians and other cultures of that and other regions (e.g., probably in India) in early times, but this is some distance from a general formula or "equation", including the very concept of a general formula or equation.
		I haven't looked at the Moscow or Rhind papyri for some years now, but I wouldn't doubt that there is a verbally stated problem there (in hieroglyphics) which one can interpret now as approximating the area of a sphere with a radius given as a specific number, not a variable or "unknown".
		The problem is therefore considered resolved rather than solved since the historical situation covers more than the RMP and over 2,500 years of Egyptian fraction history.

		Some years ago Sir Flinders Petrie, one of the "fathers" of Egyptology proposed that the pyramid blocks had been cut with long saw blades studded with diamonds or corundum.
		The unsolved problem of how the 2,300,000 very heavy blocks were transported to the building site of the pyramid is even more mystifying.
		Next we come to perhaps the most extraordinary problem, that of the fashioning and placement of the highly polished limestone casing stones that covered the entire pyramid.
