The Science
-
There are, of course, many issues in Daniel Quinn's writings that scream out for substantiation from the scientific community. There are lots of resources to back up what DQ has to say...we will bring these to you here as we can get the time to package them in an easily digestable manner. Please be patient with us -- this is not an area that can be assembled quickly -- it takes much research to pull together all the resources that we want to provide you. Wherever possible, we will supply the original references to the materials that back up what DQ is talking about...but be aware, there is a LOT of reading to do if we supply all the original research for you to digest first hand!

This tape is that tool. Lots more information is available...

Archaeological digs in the neighborhood of the Egyptian pyramids have brought forth evidence that the builders of the pyramids were just ordinary citizen-workers, not slaves, as popularly imagined. The slave-worker myth, first suggested in Exodus, has been perpetuated for centuries in art, literature, and motion pictures, but it was put to challenge in Daniel's Beyond Civilization.
