I read Black Athena when I was studying Egyptology and found it as academically sound as Chariots of the Gods?

Think of the environment in Pakistan. It's not the same at all. People are still tied to both familial (blood) and tribal (still some blood) allegiances. They don't all read the same books with the exception of the Koran, and even that has versions that differ a bit, just like the 'extra' books of ...
