"Often the evidence for a 'race of invaders' consists of cultural changes - which, in prehistoric societies, means primarily new kinds of pots. I have a prejudice against this sort of argument. I get idiotic mental images of invading armies brandishing pots, which they thrust threateningly into the trembling hands of the conquered indigenes." -- Egyptologist Barbara Mertz (b. 1927-09-29), Temples, Tombs and Hieroglyphs, 1964 [thanks to katrinb for quoting this earlier]
