Clesson Harvey, author, scientist, educator, and egyptologist[edit]

I need reliable sources for Clesson H. Harvey, author, scientist, educator, and egyptologist.

Translated the Pyramid Texts. Wrote a book entitled The Short Path.

I suspect that Harvey's qualifications as an Egyptologist might be open to dispute - he seems to have somewhat unorthodox views: [3] AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:07, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he was my Chem teacher for my senior year at Berkeley High School in the early 1970's Oh the stories I could tell. I know little to nothing about his Egyptology related activities, other than it was rumored at BHS that he could translate hieroglyphics.
