“…it is quite possible that a script similar to the Proto-Sinaitic script was used by Moses….”
Moses did not exist. He is fiction. As is much of the pseudo-history in this 19th century British text. Non-scientific rubbish.

Who quotes anonymous “American student of Japanese” in a text? Twice, even, on the same page? What makes these students experts on Japanese script? Unprofessional.

Incredibly disjointed. One page about Etruscans, the next about Rapanui. Who is this book intended for? There is no rhyme or reason about its structure.

The editors forgot to change the page number for answers to the hieroglyphics— page 226 and not 218, since this is a new edition. Also, it’s impossible to guess the meanings, since some are not actually given!
