Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Unfortunately, his views of Ancient Egypt were woefully inaccurate, and this put me off watching any further. To casually dismiss such a fascinating and civilised culture as xenophobic, and obsessed with death and the occult was a very poor and misleading historical analysis. As well as being highly learned and philosophically advanced, they were under constant threat from neighbouring envious civilisations, and would only go to war to protect their borders. The Babylonians, however, when encountering any stranger would rip out their tongue and disembowel them on the spot, no questions asked, regardless of age and gender. He didn't seem to understand historical context in the case of the Egyptians, that's for sure!

Apologies for yet abother grumpy post tjj, from a disgruntled History buff and Michael Woods fan ! :-)
