STATEMENT REGARDING DR. MARK LEHNER
FROM GRAHAM HANCOCK AND ROBERT G. BAUVAL
                                             19 July 1998
------------------------------------------------------------------
It is no secret that Dr. Mark Lehner and we have had much
difference of opinion over matters related to the Giza plateau.
With hindsight, these problems were inevitable. We would like now
to state publicly that since we have had the opportunity to meet
Dr. Lehner at Giza and further to exchanges of letters and
telephone conversations that subsequently followed, as well as
hearing the praise and testimonials from his many
friends and colleagues, we are now convinced that much of the
differences and problems were due to misunderstanding and mutual
misconceptions.
Dr. Mark Lehner has proven his dedication and love for the Giza
monuments through his many years of hard work and extensive
archaeological exploration and research on this very precious
site. We acknowledge and praise such achievement. Dr. Lehner,
being one of the world-wide recognised academic expert of the
Giza monuments in the
league of others such as Dr. Zahi Hawass, and the late Dr. I.E.S.
Edwards , has not had an easy task to perform. Dr. Lehner has
tried very hard to maintain both the strict rules of
archaeological ground research while, on the other hand,
remaining generously open minded about alternative views and
theories that conflict with the academic and archaeological
consensus.
He deserves respect and recognition for this.
Much has been said (especially by us!) on the relationship that
Dr. Lehner has had in the early 1970s with the Edgar Cayce
Foundation/ARE and its members. We do not anymore feel that there
is anything wrong or sinister
in this. We have had several meeting and encounters with senior
ARE member such as Dr. John Van Auken (Executive Director of the
ARE), Charles Thomas Cayce (President of the ARE) and senior
members such as
Dr. Joseph Schor, Dr. Joseph Jahoda, Richard Douglas, Rufus
Mosley and family members of the late Edgar Cayce. We are now
convinced that their intentions and objectives have always been
honest and genuine. We agree with a statement that Dr. Lehner
once made to us, that you will never meet nicer and better people
like the ARE people. Dr. Lehner has shown that it is possible on
the one hand be loyal and true to his own academic beliefs
and conviction while, on the other hand remaining a friend of the
ARE. This is commendable and very courageous of his part and we
invite all our readers and friends to condone this.
It is well-known that the main hope of many ARE members is that
one day, perhaps soon, the fabled `Hall Of Records' which is so
often mentioned in the Cayce `readings' will be found in Egypt
and, indeed, in other location of the world. But above all we
have come to learn that the ARE and its many friends and members
feel that love and goodwill among all the seekers come above
everything else. Indeed, this is a prerequisite if ever
such a discovery can be made, --either in the spiritual sense, as
Dr. Lehner and others believe, or in the concrete sense.
It is, therefore, in this spirit of love and goodwill that we
extend our good wishes and support to Dr. Lehner. We extend the
same to the ARE, its members and its friends. Let us wipe the
slate clean and all go forth in this
spirit. Naturally we do accept that although we still (and
probably always will) maintain our disagreements with Dr. Lehner
and his academic colleagues over interpretations of the Giza
monuments and the chronology and origins of the ancient Egyptian
civilisation, we now welcome a cordial
and amicable atmosphere that will allow us all to work,
separately and perhaps even together, toward the truth behind the
Giza plateau, no matter what this truth may eventually turn out
to be. We sincerely hope that Dr.
Lehner also feels the same.
We take this opportunity to wish Dr. Lehner good tiding in his
academic career and his quest at Giza.
