Electric Universe - Alex Mott - Rethinking Egypt

in this most convincing and least melodramatic delivery of the evidence of Egypt's technological glory years, Alex Mott puts it in plain and simple terms, "Ancient high-tech granite-cities visited by some terrible global/galactic cataclysm," to which we have then to look to ancient texts for narrative substantiation. And there's much there to explore...

Brown-dwarf proto-Saturn was described as THE BEST SUN to these ancient people, before it flared into a destructive mode as the Saturnian system entered the Sun's heliosphere, giving birth to THE DRAGON planet Venus battled by THE WARRIOR planet Mars.

Or something else involving heat and light and shame and collective forgetting... the prototypical Fall from Grace of the post-Golden Age Period.
