What good is this supposed to do. Do you think that any of this will have the slightest impact on Scotts conclusion?
Bless your trusting heart!

A central argument in Scotts recent article was:

Quote

What we are therefore likely witnessing here is the work of someone who did not understand that ancient Egyptian hieratic script, unlike hieroglyphics, can only be read from right to left.

Martin proved him wrong by providing examples of hieratic script that is read left to right. Did that make a dent in Scott´s foregone conclusion? Of course not.

You can chase Scott from argument to argument - it is a futile exercise. He will never take a stand on anything that could be a breaking point. He needs the right conclusion, you see.
