The Egyptologist widely mocked for getting the facts wrong on Kyle Rittenhouse also needs a history lesson on Rosa Parks

Last night we told you about Kara Cooney, an Egyptologist and author who was widely mocked after writing in her new book titled “The Good Kings” about ancient Egypt that Kyle Rittenhouse “killed two Black Men in Kenosha, Wisconsin while waging a glorious race war on behalf of his inherited White power.”

ICYMI, here is the passage from the book that the author now admits was wrong but just a “tiny detail“:

I’m literally wheezing this is so funny 😂🤣 this is the last chapter of “Good Kings” by Egyptologist Kara Cooney. I’ll say this delicately… she’s not the brightest and it shows. pic.twitter.com/YoI4sGGM49

Well, she got another “tiny detail” wrong. Here she is not understanding what happened with Rosa Parks:

Another error: Rosa Parks did not sit in white section of bus. She refused to give up seat to a white passenger when the white section filled up. You’d think @NatGeo would have better editors? https://t.co/jiVtgrvnQQ pic.twitter.com/39sEKWZknm

She could have, you know, just checked Wikipedia before writing the book:

On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake‘s order to vacate a row of four seats in the “colored” section in favor of a white passenger, once the “white” section was filled.^[2]
