corrections; pyramidiot (1964)

[Stephen Goranson]

Plato dead?! Not the real Plato :-)

I misspelled the name of the distinguished Glasgow Prof., Michael K. C.
MacMahon.

I also never heard the "nine yards" phrase from my dear Dad, a career Navy
officer, USNA '40 (d. 1960).

According to a review in American Anthropologist 63 (1968) 837, Barbara Mertz,
Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs: The Story of Egyptology (1964)
used "Pyramidiots," so it looks increasingly unlikely, despite more than one
report, that Zahi Hawass (in 1964 a teenager) coined the term.

best,
Stephen Goranson
