Exactly. So why believe what is claimed without checking?

I haven't made a claim about that. I only pointed out that Kara Cooney is a radical Leftist, feminist based on her bio, list of published titles, and academic CV. One of her big claims to fame--so-to-speak-- is she's supposedly an expert in ancient Egyptian coffins and their reuse. That's like being an expert in prehistoric trans-Siberian literature or having majored in bowling alley management...
 
I haven't read National Geographic since I was a grade schooler looking at the naked African women therein.
Memories.

No I mean the claim that she typed those words in her book. So far nobody proved it. So should we believe the claim without reading her book?

Because this is the very WOKE Disney, and because a lot of people believe/speak this particular lie.
 
What do you hope people take away from the book?

I wanted to give readers a playbook, in a sense, for what could come next from a historian’s perspective, and why the patriarchy is not the only way of running a system. The patriarchy is destroying itself. It’s happening. And we need to be there, anti-patriarchically, to rebuild something that better protects us all from the abuses of power.

You write that you see signs that the patriarchy is leading society toward a collapse, repeating a pattern that has occurred throughout history. But you also note that climate change will interrupt the cycle in a big way. What can we learn about what comes next by studying the rise and fall of ancient Egyptian regimes?

The patriarchy rises and falls in cycles, collapsing and rebuilding. But the thing that’s haunting authoritarian regimes now is that the Earth is not allowing that cycle anymore. The Earth is not allowing the ongoing extractive, consumptive, unequal hoarding that defines those regimes, because it’s unsustainable, and that unsustainability is now the undoing of the patriarchy.

We’ve had smaller-scale climate change for thousands of years; think of cities wiped away by deforestation that led to mudslides. The difference now is the scale. Now it’s global. The patriarchy sows the seeds for its own destruction again and again before coming back in a vicious cycle, but the difference this time is global climate change threatens to make this the final cycle.


I’m not a soothsayer, but from my 10,000-year view of history, I see two paths. It could be more patriarchy for another 500 years until the planet is truly dead, and then that’s it; that’s the end of the story. But I think we will flirt with patriarchy and mess with it for another 200-some years, and then we will find our way through to something sustainable and different.

It is highly likely that she was not honest about her motivation for the book in the intro, and that Disney was not honest about the book on the flaps. The WOKE are allergic to honesty.
