Mark<\/strong> L<\/strong>ehner <\/strong>is the author of what is considered by some to be the definitive book[<\/sup>437<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> on the Egyptian Pyramids, although his earlier work has drawn a share of harsh criticism from the likes of Margaret Morris[<\/sup>683<\/sup><\/a>](<\/sup>b<\/sup>)<\/sup>. However, his road to \u2018conventional\u2019 \"Mark<\/a>Egyptology began with a fascination with Edgar Cayce<\/a> and his Atlantis psychic readings. In 1974 Lehner wrote[<\/sup>436<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> of his support for Cayce\u2019s \u2018revelation\u2019 of a connection between Atlantis and a pre-dynastic Egypt. He includes an attempt to explain away such wonders as humans with \u2018animal appendages\u2019 including legs with feathers and \u2018electrical surgical knives\u2019.<\/p>\n

It may be pertinent that in 1973, Lehner was enrolled at the American University in Cairo, thanks to a grant from the Edgar Cayce Foundation. Nevertheless, it appears that by 1977, he had begun his journey towards orthodoxy by renouncing his support for Cayce\u2019s views on ancient Egypt<\/a>. His comprehensive book on the Pyramids, The Complete Pyramids<\/em> [437<\/a>]<\/sup>,\u00a0studiously avoids any reference to either Cayce or Atlantis.<\/p>\n

In 1994, Vol.5 No.3 of the KMT<\/em> journal(c<\/sup>)<\/sup>, Lehner published a critical review of Robert Schoch<\/a>‘s hypothesis regarding the redating of the Great Sphinx<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An outline of his work, as an Egyptologist, by Evan Hadingham was published in the February 2010 edition of the Smithsonian Magazine<\/em>(<\/sup>a<\/sup>)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
