There are three main obstacles laying in the way of the novice entering upon the path of Egyptology.  The foremost impediment is its companion study of Archaeology which, judging from its actions, came into being to accumulate physical evidence that would confirm the historicity of the Biblical Narrative.  Thus, from its beginning, Egyptology is plagued with religious bias.  Most of  the pioneers in the field held degrees in Divinity.  Secondly, is an erroneous perception of the indigenous people of ancient Egypt, formulated by the preconceived notion of the inerrancy of Holy Scripture.  Finally, human greed and the black market for antiquities that has spawned from it.  This despicable practice conceals from public awareness any discovery that could personally enrich the Black Marketeer.  This unwritten sanction for cupidity has become so rampant that it is virtually accepted as an article of faith.    

​

In Lecture 3, on the Parable of the Ren, I further elaborated on these 3 obstacles.  Then, by way of example, I addressed the erroneous translation of Peribsen, which I did imply could be a deliberate  act of disinformation.  The most conspicuous hieroglyph contained in his name, 'Per' (Gardiner's 'house' symbol O1) was completely  omitted from the translation! What else could've been a plausible explanation for this inexplicable departure from convention?  I am Initiated and therefore reserve the prerogative of cynicism, for I am quite familiar with terms such as 'white out' and 'black out', and how egregious errors may be disavowed through retroactive editing.

 

To effectively navigate him/her-self through such Pseudo-Academia, the Ancient History student must possess the aptitude of a seasoned detective, while exhibiting the patient tenacity of an Experimental Scientist; testing every viable hypothesis until, by diligent process of elimination, what remains is a practical theory.  There has  to be an underlying logic to Ancient Egyptian Methodology, an understanding of which can facilitate a systematic reconstruction of that process.   One need only prioritize original sources and mine linguistic-specific data.

 

In my SQUARING THE LIGHT Series I present this much needed paradigm.  Since the language used to articulate it is a fluent mixture of the Standard APA Format and the intellectual  vernacular of the Black Urban Subculture, the Conventional Academic Community will eventually have to jump on  this BUS, if it expects to reach that destination which is the FUTURE of Egyptology!  So when I say that this treatise is for The Black Initiate Only, I don't mean to suggest a racial prerequisite (for ALL ethnicities are equally welcomed), but rather to a command of Sophisticated Black Slang.  It is incumbent upon those entering a new field of discovery to become versed in the terminologies employed therein.  KING'S PARADIGM is no exception to that rule.  And, just like Moscow  Rules, this is Old School!
