The book by D. Clarke is about influences of ancient Egyptian Culture upon symbols and hieroglyphs found on a Stone Egg discovered along the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee and to try to explain the time line and expressions on that egg of unknown origin what the symbols are in both native american and egyptian ancient understanding in New Hampshire. The name of essay as the Pharaohs Ostrikon is a clue that there is a similarity of both the living chief priest shaman king whether a native american influenced by trade with a Egyptian like culture as shown in some instances of Micmac hieroglyph writings or of the Abenaki Tribes. Clarke pin points the mostly likely reasons and timelines when this art form was conveyed from the Old World to the New World or in possible native american trade with Basques and Egyptians or Phoenician types. There is no book that best describes the enigma of this rare find or stone egg item made of brown stone quartz and sand stone. At the same time Clarke busts the lid on the possible egyptian influences that Barry Fells in the past only in a general way mentions. Clarke shows the place names as the side result Barry Fells never really knew about when he was living.
