2 THE NEW RACE

1
Herodotus cites a story to the effect that because Cheops and Chefren were so wicked, the Egyptians preferred to call the pyramids after a shepherd named Philitis, ‘who at the time fed his flocks about the place’, which certainly implies that it was green. And in an article called ‘When the Sahara was Green’ (in
The World's Last Mysteries
, 1977), Henry Lhote, a respectable scholar, also says that the Sahara was green in 2500 BC.

2
Flinders Petrie, however, says in his book,
Naquada and Balias
(1896): ‘The wheel must have been well known to the Egyptians at this time [of Naquada].’

3 INSIDE THE PYRAMID

Those who are interested in the various crank theories about the Pyramid will find an excellent summary of them in Martin Gardner,
Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science
, 1959.

Kurt Mendelssohn,
The Riddle of the Pyramids
, 1974.

Margaret Murray,
The Splendour that was Egypt

7 FORBIDDEN ARCHAEOLOGY

1
Nigel Calder,
Timescale
, 1984 (p. 241).

2
‘The confined life of winter was followed by a nomadic camping existence, during which the hunters housed themselves in shallow, well-located rock shelters... They were always on the march, in the wake of the herbivorous animals they hunted.’ Raymond Lantier, quoted by Alexander Marshack,
The Roots of Civilisation
, 1972 (p. 371).

8 MORE FORBIDDEN ARCHAEOLOGY

3
The answer is to immerse the crown in a vessel brimful of water, and measure the overflow to determine its precise volume. Then take exactly the same volume of pure gold, and weigh it. If the crown weighs less, it is not pure gold.

Colin Wilson,
An Encyclopedia of Unsolved Mysteries
, 1949.
