My Mother, Brother Zeke and myself were all present with him at the time of his death. His heart rate slowed down and then stopped. He passed away quietly and peacefully with dignity after putting up an incredible fight against cancer.
I will say that I am deeply moved by the sheer volume of people that have expressed their compassion towards me and my family. But even more so by all of the people that knew his work, and that were changed by it forever. Those that knew him personally could all agree that my father was a one of a kind individual, with an indomitable spirit and an endless capacity to never back down from what he believed in.
My father didn’t care much for funerals and didn’t appreciate the emotion that others brought to them. Because life is eternal, he could never quite get behind what all the fuss was about.
He requested to be cremated and when the time and money permits, Celesta, Zeke and Myself plan to scatter his ashes in Egypt where his heart, mind and life’s work took place.
Thank you everyone for all of your support through this incredibly difficult time. My father is well on his way to his next life. And his work in this life will never be forgotten.
Author, lecturer and guide.John Anthony West delivered a seismic shock to archaeology in the early 1990s when he and Boston University geologist Dr. Robert Schoch revealed that the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt, showed evidence of rainfall erosion. Such erosion could only mean that the Sphinx was carved during or before the rains that marked the transition of northern Africa from the last Ice Age to the present interglacial epoch, a transition that occurred in the millennia from 10,000 to 5,000 BC.
“Egyptian civilization was not a development, it was a legacy.”

1. John - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Amulrts kf amciebt egypt". The story was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters were poorly developed. It felt like the author was trying to cram too much information into a short book, which made it feel disjointed and rushed. The writing style was also not very engaging, and I found myself losing interest halfway through. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a good historical fiction read.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - While "Amulrts kf amciebt egypt" had an interesting premise, the execution fell flat for me. The pacing was uneven, with slow parts dragging on and action-packed moments feeling rushed. Additionally, the dialogue felt awkward and forced, making it difficult to connect with the characters. The historical accuracy also seemed questionable, as there were several instances where events or details contradicted what I knew about ancient Egypt. Overall, I found this book to be underwhelming and would not recommend it to others.
3. David - 2/5 stars - "Amulrts kf amciebt egypt" promised an intriguing blend of adventure and history, but it failed to deliver. The plot was predictable and lacked depth, making it difficult to become invested in the story. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked complexity, which made their actions and motivations hard to believe. Furthermore, the writing style was dry and lacked emotion, failing to create a sense of atmosphere or transport the reader to ancient Egypt. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied with this book and would not recommend it.
4. Emily - 1/5 stars - I found "Amulrts kf amciebt egypt" to be incredibly boring. The pacing was slow, and the descriptions were overly detailed to the point of being tedious. The author seemed more interested in sharing their knowledge of ancient Egypt than in telling an engaging story. The characters were forgettable, and the dialogue was stilted and unnatural. I struggled to finish this book and felt a sense of relief when I finally reached the last page. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an enjoyable reading experience.
