IMO, Davis' "Don't Know Much About..." series is akin to the "...for Dummies" series.

Don't know much about Geography, about History, about Civil War...

I wonder what is his educational background?
What qualifies him as an authority on any of these topics?


No matter, I'm still looking forward to the reference which states "the only egyptian record."
