Thanks Dave for the most interesting links, wizards/ Egyptians etc. I have been reading a Scottish author, Lewis Spence, who wrote on these things decades ago, and I understand became quite high in Scottish parliament. He actually puts forward that Atlanteans beacame the Egyptians, and ties many ( books of it) things to Celtic mythology. He was very highly educated in mythology and languages. My family has always been into Astrology/ remote viewing / Shamanism etc. and perhaps one day a marker will be found for this "Merlin" aspect. I find this story very interesting on the Egyptians. In 1989 I had an OBE, where I found myself standing on some steps, looking out over a desert. I turned around and observed the structure, and ": knew" that I was the architect to the pharoah, who was really a woman. Very strange. A few months later I was looking at a National Geographic magazine, and saw the same structure absolutely exactly as I viewed it. It was the Temple to Queen Hatshepsut, who was a female pharoah...... now I find my DNA appears to be Scottish ( maybe Welsh) not sure. But at any rate, I thought I would share this very strange moment 1n 1989, with the very strange article on the Scots/ Irish Egyptians. Really happened...... I put nothing in it though.... I think.:-) Rich ( 4jdg5)
