ArchivesRe: "Giza"
in reply to a message by wanda johnson
You would be better off asking a linguistics or Egyptian expert than this board, which is primarily for people names rather than place names.
However, as an archaeologist, I find that Giza-Jesus thing *highly* unlikely. Was the book written by someone who was clearly taking a Christian look at the pyramids?

I agree - there seems no need to involve Jesus at all! Especially as the Old Testament version of his name, which we know as Joshua, would have been more likely to be familiar to the pyramid-builders than an Aramaic dialectal version ... and the religion of the Egyptians doesn't endorse the outlooks of either Joshua or Jesus, so what would the point be?
