Spring Clean

I have, after some time, uploaded the very terrible photos my phone takes to the computer. Amongst them is this ‘amusing’ snap of a concluding paragraph to “Tutankhamun: The Exodus Conspiracy,” which really exemplifies mere Conspiracy Theorising to a ‘T.’

Tutankhamun - The Exodus Conspiracy - p. 279

Author of "The Philosophy of Conspiracy Theories" (Palgrave Macmillan), M wrote their PhD on epistemic issues surrounding belief in conspiracy theories. They are a frequent media commentator on the weird and the wonderful, both locally and internationally. On occasion they can be caught dreaming about wax lions but, mostly, it is rumoured they work for elements of the New World Order.

  2. “Unfortunately there are no answers.” Might that be because the question is stupid? I take it that these papyri concern the captivity in Egypt which never happened.

    I like the notion of these papyri being tucked underneath dozens of insignificant papyri, as if the Egyptology departments of museums were like a stationery store – filled with minor papyri which nobody bothers to look at.

  3. Now we just need someone to exhibit an “Exodus papyrus” written in grammatically broken hieroglyphics (or should it be hieratics) and containing a yachtload of anachronisms.

    We can only but hope.
