(In early March of 2003 Mr. Temme's publicist faxed the following interview to ANG News in Pleasanton, its entirety was never released or published)...
First question to Mr. Temme: Why promote Pharaoh's Scribe in Egypt ? Mr. Temme: The answer is self-evident, the birth place of civilization took place in ancient Egypt, also the story's lead character "Ka" and the whole story unfold in Memphis, in Egypt. The story and book format are like no other, Egypt's gods and the history of the Nile, their importance are intergrated into the story as one. I believe it has never been done before, it's an epic story.
Second question: What about the mentioned lost "Book of Ra", in your book ? Mr. Temme: The Book of Ra may have actually have existed, and still may. Modern day Egyptologists are skeptic about the books legitimacy, seldom acknowledging its possible existence, because the Book of Ra was mostly myth... When King Tutankhamuns' tomb was discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, not all the artifacts were cataloged. A unique gold cartouche necklace in a cedar box with other artifacts, were found by one of the team cataloguers at the tomb, later were smuggled out of Egypt by the cataloguer, ending up in Berlin years later in a private collection, then vanished again during the bombing of Berlin in World War II. On the cartouche were hieroglyphs identifying the legendary lost " Book of Ra"...
Third question: Why have,nt you gave any interviews, or made any public appearances in over 24 years, to promote your books ? Mr. Temme: I'm a very private person, and i like it that way. But i did give one interview in the 1970's, i believe it was in the later part of 1978 or early part of 1979, on a morning television talk show out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on
(WTMJ-TV) for my book, "Searching For Truth". Since then I've kept a low profile, i write for my own pleasure... Fourth question: What about some past recent news stories in the press that have alluded to your friendship with Patricia Hearst during the time she was incarcerated in prison for her involvement with the SLA ?
Answer: As i mentioned earlier, i seldom discuss my private life, this includes friendships i have had in the past or the present. But i will say this, i have the highest respect for Ms. Hearst, she was a young woman put "unwillingly" into a horrible situation by the SLA in the 1970s'. She could have been easily been shot by them, and left in some ditch dead, a footnote in history. Ms. Hearst, was only guilty of wanting to survive and live, if that meant playing the enimies game, then so be it ... My friendship with Ms. Hearst during her incarceration in prison, was only a correspondence by letters, nothing more. Some rumors afloat, that i had "other connections" are absurd.
As with Dillinger, as with Bonnie and Clyde, its time for the news media to let go...its time to write the last page on the Symbionese Liberation Army...With the war in Iraq looming in the distance, we must not let fear cloud our thinking, like we did when our country engaged Vietnam in the 1960's, resulting in disasterous results and death. We must not let a McCarthyism mentality envelope our country again... end of interview.
