Note that there is no reliable source for this. In an AfD on the English Wikipedia an editor who used this said "Delete My sincerest apologies to everyone. It seems this Mr. Preston Waters who I was contacted by to write up the paper on this scarab (and subsequent Q & A piece) last year may himself not be legitimate. Although I was not paid anything to write the paper, I was told if I wrote it, it would be published in the journal for their organization, of which I was free to join for free the first year and then $275 annually after that. Seemed like a good opportunity to connect with others in the field. I was sent a digital version of the journal (as it seems hyksosneter was too), but had not received anything in print nor access to the full research database he said they were building on the new website, "due to operational issues related to COVID this past year" I was told. That sounded like a valid reason. I've tried contacting this individual over the past few days, and have had no response. I now see their website is down too. Based on the conversations I've seen here and other places, I undertook an investigation into it myself, and as others have stated, also agree this may not be a legitimate journal as I have been led to believe. As such, even though I wrote it and agree with the archaeological findings, I also agree with the motion to delete this article entry for the time being. I would not want an unverified journal as a primary source, as it may not have actually been peer-reviewed like I was told it was. Again, please accept my apologies. I should have done a better job of vetting the journal and organization it seems. Now to make sure I can figure out how to cancel this "membership" so I don't end up getting charged $275. Good looking out Wiki team. Paleoarchaeo "
