  A long-awaited review by Professor H. Hunger, foremost authority on Babylonian astronomical cuneiform tablets, of Dr. R. Furuli's Assyrian, Babylonian, and Egyptian Chronology. Volume II of Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Persian Chronology Compared with the Chronology of the Bible is now available to read for anyone who is interested.

  You can find it at http://goto.glocalnet.net/kf4/reviewHunger.htm

  The critique is long, technical and detailed, so those who happen to have a copy of Furuli's work would find it useful to have the book to hand while reading it. For those who haven't the patience to comb through it all, it's still worth looking at the ends of each little section and particularly the 'Emotional Response' toward the bottom of the page.

  Heh heh. Furuli gets his bare bottom spanked for trying to discredit the Assyriologists.

  WT$' apologist for Loopy chronology over 607.

  Damn, but it's a thorough read...

  I love how Hunger ends this critique. After quoting Furuli's accusation (pulled out of his posterior, evidently) that a cuneiform tablet was tampered with in modern times, Hunger responds:

  This conclusion accuses an unnamed person of criminal acts: this person at least “has tampered with some of the cuneiform signs”, but may even have faked half of the tablet. Since the tablet reached the Vorderasiatische Museum in 1906 and was published in 1915 in the condition reflected by the photo in the Museum’s archives, the accusation concerns any people working there at this time, including e. g. Ernst Weidner. In defence of him and all others possibly involved, I state that the accusation is utterly groundless, and I express my disgust of an author whose “open-mindedness” leads him to such accusations.

  Although he exposed Furuli to be a complete idiot, Prof. Hunger failed to address the pyramidological evidence that Jesus invisible presence began in 1914, and then 607 can be calculated backwards from Danielian numerology.

  Come on Furuli, write a book about pyramidology! Surely no "worldly scholar" would dare to disagree with such sound Russellian logic.
