A bit far out?

Hi Charles!

Your writings are truly amazing! You´ve done a tremendous job! At the present moment I´m only reading Chapter 7 of your online book, but I like to digest this stuff real slow and try to understand the whole thing. Of course, a lot of questions keep popping up in my mind as I keep reading.

For example, how could those ancient kings and queens manage to rule simultaneously the two great civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia? You seem to take this for granted, and I agree that it seems to have been that way, judging from their names and doings. But how could they, in your opinion, manage to do this over such a vast period of time? Was it a known fact among the peoples they ruled? Is there any evidence that it was recognized by other rulers in neighbouring countries? Are there any other evidence? The whole thing seems a bit strange to me, especially when you (here in Capter 7) do mention Senusret as the "Kassite (Indian/Sanskrit)... Gandash" and even as "Kun, founder of the very first imperial dynasty of China"! Ain´t that a bit too far out?

Sincerely, Helge
