    when I see headlines of "will re-write/shatter history," the first thing I do is to make sure my wallet is still securely in my pocket. You see this is nothing but warmed over twaddle like pushed by Erich VD and similar hucksters, characterised by the spouting of pseudo-scientific language, but backed up by no real proof at all.

    Let's look at some of this nonsense.

    Here's one of them. Evidence of computers in the court of Akhenaten? Really? On the basis of just one glyph, unattributed so we can check to see if it had been edited? Likewise, this site says there three other examples, but cannot be bothered to show them nor cite where they can be found. Mention is also made of "some legends" that support computer, but they are never identified. Smoke and mirrors, folks. Smoke and mirrors.

    Now, if there were computer back then, where is the physical artifact evidence? This is where these crack-pots slip up. Plain, pure and simple, people, even Dr. Whovian time travelers, lose stuff. They misplace things, toss out broken bits and such. If this advanced tech was so influential back then, where is its detritus? Nobody dropped a CD disc or a machined mounting screw or a circuit puller?

    Sorry, Eddy-boy, but you and your gang just failed.
