Hi there,

Don't quote me on this but I am quite sure the Egypt part comes from the
novel "The Captive Soul" by Josepha Sherman. It's been a long time since I
read it and I don't have it at hand at the moment but I do remember that it
mainly dealt with Methos in Ancient Egypt so that's most likely where that
part of the wiki entry is from.

If you like Methos (and I assume you do as you are on this list :-) it's
worth to check out this novel.

So long,
Arwen
