[b]Can anyone tell us who the historical consultant, Jonathan Stamp, is? All I can determine is that he's co-authored some publications on the pyramids. In light of the fact that Britain and America are knee-deep in classicists--even ones who know how to speak before a camera--a consultant with such thin bona fides is a bit of a puzzle. I've also read that he appeared at an HBO press conference where he justified the use of "shocking" details (others would perhaps use different adjectives) and said that the team went "to enormous lengths to make those kind of details authentic.â€ÂÂ
