Cool stuff, Herefornow, and thank you!

Yes, the Atlantic Ocean was referred to by the Egyptians as the Western Ocean, they did know what direction they were talking about.  Another theorist here kept insisting that they mistook it for the Red Sea, not buying it.  Most of the non-Atlantic Ocean related theories depend on the ancients being ignorant of their local geograophy.
