A Short History of Egyptology

Before you turn Egyptology into science and Egyptologists into gods, I think it'll suffice for you to understand the following:

1. Egyptology's modern history begins with the invasion of Egypt by Napoleon and with the discovery of Rosetta Stone in Egypt.
2. In the late 1800s, Egyptology became an academic subject through the research of Hienrich Brugsch et al.
3. In the 1920s, Egyptology became a legitimate academic field when James Henry Breasted founded the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.

The question is, where did J.H Breasted get the funding for the establishment of the Oriental Institute from? The funds came from a wealthy Christian Evangelical, John D. Rockefeller (Rockefeller hereinafter). In other words, in an attempt to historicize the bible using a legitimate academic discipline (I.e. Archeology cum Egyptology), Rockefeller bankrolled the establishment of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.

What's the hidden agenda here?
To understand the hidden agenda behind the establishment of the Oriental Institute and Egyptology, as a legitimate academic discipline, one must first understand:

1. The ancient Egyptians did not write their own history nor did they write their own historical chronology.
2. The history and historical chronology of Ancient Egypt were developed, around 1800s-1900s, by the Scaligerites and Jesuit scholars using the 6000-year biblical timeline that Joseph Scalinger and Petavius created.

Well, it's one thing to fabricate a timeline, history and historical chronology; it's another thing to have archeological records to back them up. Consequently, to back up the fabricated biblical timeline and chronology with verifiable archeological records, in and around Egypt, the Oriental Institute and the academic field of Egyptology were created.

In conclusion, Egyptology is not science. It's an agenda based academic field that's developed to historicize the bible. So, I would advise you to take it with a grain of salt.
