\"schwaller_de_lubicz\"<\/a>Ren\u00e9 A. Schwaller de<\/strong> L<\/strong>ubicz<\/strong> (1887-1962) <\/strong>was a mathematician, Egyptologist and philosopher from Alsace in France. In his early years he studied Theosophy, which I suspect coloured his later thinking. It seems that he also dabbled with alchemy and has also\u00a0been accused of having supported right-wing politics!<\/p>\n

Schwaller\u00a0spent\u00a0fifteen years studying the ancient monuments of Egypt<\/a>,\u00a0concentrating on the Temple at Luxor studying its dimensions and its relationship to ancient mysticism. Schwaller\u2019s stepdaughter, Lucie Lamy, personally gathered the numerous measurements at Luxor.<\/p>\n

Schwaller\u00a0questioned conventional views of Egypt\u2019s cultural development, mathematical sophistication and religious symbolism. He published his findings in a monumental work[<\/sup>449<\/sup><\/a>][<\/sup>450<\/sup><\/a>][<\/sup>451<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> that has now been translated into English(<\/sup>a<\/sup>)<\/sup>. His work is difficult to read which may explain why he has had such a low profile.<\/p>\n

His view of the ancients<\/a> is perhaps summed up by one quote from him; \u201cCan it really be said that before the day of our pretentious science, humanity was composed solely of imbeciles and the superstitious?\u201d<\/p>\n

Schwaller\u00a0came to the attention of a wider audience when John Anthony West<\/a> highlighted[<\/sup>452<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> his comments on the evidence of water erosion on the Sphinx<\/a> that indicated a much greater age for the structure than generally accepted. West followed up Schwaller\u2019s observations with a study of the Sphinx by the geologist Robert Schoch<\/a> whose report[<\/sup>454<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> started one of the greatest controversies in modern Egyptology.<\/p>\n

A recent report(b)<\/sup>\u00a0found on a number of sites,\u00a0by Sh\u00e9rif El Morsi, an Egyptian researcher,\u00a0documents evidence of a\u00a0‘relatively recent’ incursion by seawater onto the Giza Plateau.<\/p>\n
