He belongs in the same category as people who write about the secrets of Atlantis and Lemuria- although he's probably worse than those people, since he wrote falsities about ancient Egypt, a place that actually existed. The fact that anyone would base anything besides a bad sci-fi novel on anything he wrote scares me. Want proof? Take any of his books to an actual Egyptologist, and listen to the hooting laughter. He didn't restrict his writing to just ancient history, either- I particularly enjoy his crackpot theories about plant telepathy, though you'll find he also wrote about the Mayan pyramids, various ancient obelisks, and other favorites of occultist authors. He and Edward Cayce would have gotten along great.
I'm sure Groove Phi Groove is a fine organization, with wonderful members, but its founders obviously didn't believe in careful fact checking. The fact that they prosper despite the invalidity of their founding ideas is either a testiment to the strength of their organization or a demonstration on the irrelevance of a fraternity's founding principles, I'd rather not consider which.

Calm down dear
I was not trying to refute your stement, but rather POST their history for those that don't know anything about them. If you're looking for an argument, please do a search. I believe there is a thread on GC alread about this topic. Post there..............
As I said before, this thread is about G Phi G
