RIP John Anthony West

Absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of John Anthony West.
John single-handedly forced everyone to start looking at ancient Egypt in a completely different way when he re-evaluated the work of Schwaller De Lubizc. He was also credited with (along with geologist Robert Schoch) proposing a much more ancient date for the Sphinx of Giza based on solid scientific data, throwing sand in the face of Egyptologists who have been left rather red-faced at their own incompetence.
John’s eight-part TV series, Magical Egypt, is a revolutionary take on the structures of ancient Egypt, and adequately displays NOT the advanced technology and architecture which everyone else considers, but the spiritual meaning behind their construction. His controversial work may not be totally correct but that’s not the point. The point is when a person like John Anthony West makes an entire generation look at a problem from a completely different angle, one that has not been considered previously, then he can be considered a genius.
Have a safe journey to the Duat, John
