Am I the only one who is disgusted by this statement about the egyptians.!!!
Let me get this straight... the egyptians, builders of the pyramids, luxor, tell al amarna, etc etc, all of which make the athenian acropolis look like a junkheap, were, at most, unconscious automatons- or rather they were para-unconscious, since they lacked even the potential to wake up and contemplate their actions and their universe.
i hate to become polemical like this, but this is pure racist garbage and it is rooted in the abrahamic discourse about the <i>irrational</i> theory-deprived heathen. I remember reading a story about some euro tour guide in Mexico, who after giving a long tour of the mayan pyramids stated that it's a mystery how the mayans could have built what they did since they lacked the science of architecture!!! as koenraad elst said, the english word for "telescope" is simply "see far".....
