I never realized that 'sweat by the brow' was directed at writers! I like real history, especially to give it an easy modern day entertaining read. The first century History has always been an underlying intrigue throughout. My first book in 2014, "Ben Hur II - Exile" is a work of ten years research with scholars, writers, religious figures, historians and discerning members of the general public. I took actual historical archives and re-wrote them for today's audiences. My next book will be relased in Jan 2016 "Philistine-To-Palestine: Exposing the World's Greatest Deception". The intention is to make both as Mini-Series. Meanwhile, don't tell me the sky is the limit. There's footprints on the moon. GOOD WISHES TO ALL FOR 2016.

I would like to talk about possibly collaborating with you on the true history of ancient Egypt. Do you have any interests on that topic? Nice to meet you!
Hi Julie. Thanks.
Hi Louisa, thanks. I wanted to write a black-com, to up the ante on Borat & Dr. Strangelove. But I fell into history by accident. Egyptian history – which one pre-7th century was not Arab.

[“The Merneptah Stele” - aka Israel Stele, dated Early 13th Century BCE , 1213 to 1203 BCE]. •Centre. The first time the name Hebrew (Hibiru) is found outside the Bible.
