Sometimes an obelisk is just an obelisk!

Sometimes an obelisk is just an obelisk! Gets a bit more confusing when they are phallic shaped obelisks.

you know he's not the only one who has questioned the establishment's dating of the pyramids and he didn't start it Velikovsky wasn't involved in the later argument over dating the Giza Pyramids earlier than then 3rd. Millennium B.C.. He argued for a much later date (and that one, 1250 B.C., is clearly erroneous) than is currently accepted. I suspect that you're mixed up. Please note that it's Velikovsky's astronomy that I have issues with, not many of his proposed changes to the standard Egyptological dating scheme. Personally, I favor Manetho's numbers for the length of the Hyksos Period.
If you know a Naue II from a khepesh and Protogeometric potsherds from LH III, we might have something to discuss.
You will always find people who doubt something, like the shape of earth. Not saying you shouldn't doubt, but within reason. His stuff reads like it was written by someone lacking basic physics knowledge, trying to connect myths and reality any way he could. Also the early psychoanalysts all were people who would have themselves very much profited from a good therapy session. Walking mental disorder collections the lot of them. Yup. IMHO, Freud and his colleagues were more than a little "squirrely", like many shrinks I'm acquainted with. I've known some with bizarre private and professional lives. Their contributions to faculty gossip are often seminal. Particularly when cocaine is involved, as both Rick James and Freud (now THAT is a pairing) would agree it's a helluva drug.

I will kiss you quite red and feed you till you are plump. And if you are forward you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle little girl who doesn’t eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body,” wrote Sigmund Freud to his future wife, Martha Bernays, on June 2, 1884. One wonders what Velikovsky's views on cocaine were.

Bet he Pea Soup must have splattered the walls to the sounds of Black Sabbaths Snow Blind and Superfreak.

Call fourth the Godhand!!! If you'd invite God to be a fourth at bridge or poker, you're even crazier than the rest of us here. Just sayin'.
