I could tell that you've done your research and weren't just totally pulling nonsense out of the air, and when I was in seminary I heard some parallels between Biblical narratives and Egyptian mythology, which makes some sense given that Egypt figured heavily into Biblical history. :) Not kidding though, I want to research more and likely will at some point soon. :)<br />Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945796233161285793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609483682620368953.post-44564043805931755222013-05-17T06:27:15.051-07:002013-05-17T06:27:15.051-07:00Nora, what a treat that you came into this book wi...Nora, what a treat that you came into this book with a knowledgable background in Egyptian mythology thanks to your brother and husband. I can tell it made your reading experience of Michael's novel that much more enjoyable. Thanks for the review :)Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609483682620368953.post-81935240622073660632013-05-17T05:41:39.173-07:002013-05-17T05:41:39.173-07:00Hi, Nora, thanks for the review. All your reviews ...Hi, Nora, thanks for the review. All your reviews cover so much ground without spoilers. To be honest, I am always concerned that someone of the Christian faith will be upset by this book and love that you saw it as something to look deeper into rather than an affront. Two quick explanations on the sand and food because the answers are cool (for readers this will be obscure due to spoilers!). On the sand front, researchers actually believe that it's possibly filled with sand rather than stone blocks. Neat! On the food front, it comes from the Zabbaleen--the Garbage People--which have a symbiotic relationship with the Shemsu Seth. I should have gone into more detail! Thanks again, I love your reviews whether they be 1s 6s or 10s.Michael F Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054784969599974497noreply@blogger.com
