I smell tin foil hattery. "Independent scientist"... The article is clearly an ad for von Spaeth's work. He seems to have published that paper about the dating of that star map, but the journal appears to be relatively obscure. Nearly all links found by Google go to Danish pages; most of them seem to capitalize on this star map dating issue and copy from one another. I have not been able to find any outside verification whatsoever. In fact, his "dating" seems to be highly controversial, see e.g. the rebuttal by Leitz, Christian. (2002). "Remarks about the Appearance of Mars in the Tomb of Senemut in Western Thebes." (Centaurus, Volume 44, Pages 140-142), and apparently not taken seriously by established scholars, who—according to the extlink—claim von Spaeth just tried to doctor facts to make them fit into his very own version of the life of Moses. This encyclopedia can do well without this propaganda of some guy's personal fringe theories. Lupo 13:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have created a new bio on von Speath, I've met him a couple of occasions and found him quite interesting. Please look it through and help me maintain Wikipedia standards aza (talk) 16:29, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
