Mushrooms and Lichtheim
The Lichtheim quote was from and was by our guidelines a copyright violation. The mushroom stuff though interesting was covered in too much detail. A couple of sentences would be enough unless anyone can find some reliable sources discussing Berlant's hypothesis. Berlant raised it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ancient Egypt and of course there is a COI problem, it shouldn't be here without discussion in the first place.

 * My personal question is: Does an exyclopedia really need such psychodelic drug-trash? Besides: Neither Lichtheim nor Lepper write anything about psychedelic drugs or even shrooms. --Nephiliskos (talk) 12:52, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Other than such speculation there seems to be no actual evidence that Egyptians used or wrote about mushrooms - I'm not convinced it does belong here at all. Dougweller (talk) 13:37, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
