In fact, they're probably older than his kid!

But he's probably tickled pinkish just to be able to fit into them again.

(So, you think he loves his own name so much he had to saddle the kid with it, too? Or was he hoping to start up one of those Suhthuhn dynasty thangs? )

No, I think we can safely say you'll never ever have to tell anyone with Web access again.

I'm planning to (re-?)read the books in chronological order but am not sure where to read Hadi Benotto's in-Duniverse book, The Dune Encyclopedia. The beginning of God Emperor of Dune starts with Hadi Benotto proclaiming the discovery of the Dar-es-Balat materials (which Teg possibly mentions in Heretics of Dune). Considering Hadi Benotto was the editor of the Dune Encyclopedia, should it be read before or after God Emperor of Dune?

FH in Heretics wrote: He found himself gripped by accounts from the archeological team that had found the Tyrant's primitive no-chamber on Rakis. Dar-es-Balat, the place was called. The reports by Archeologist Hadi Benotto were marked "Suppressed by orders of the Rakian Priesthood." The file number on the accounts from Bene Gesserit Archives was a long one and what Benotto revealed was fascinating.

"Let us not forget the Hadi Benotto translation of God's own holy words," another priest interrupted. "Shai-hulud referred many times to Siona."

. . . Teg guessed it to be much earlier than that of the Tyrant . .

Since there is a library in the chamber one would assume that they would have been able to discern pretty quickly when it dated from.

Is there anything else from that edition? The copy I have is pretty clear in the opinion of everyone involved where the date of the chamber's origin is concerned.

"I agree it's primitive but it's also fascinating." Teg lifted his gaze to the scrollwork on the nearby kitchen ceiling. The moment of decision had arrived. Lucilla could not be depended upon to remain distracted much longer. Teg shared her fascination, though. It was easy to lose yourself in these marvels. The whole no-globe complex, some two hundred meters in diameter, was a fossil preserved intact from the time of the Tyrant. It was remarkably primitive in all of its aspects, including the machinery and the nullentropy bins at the core. Teg guessed it to be much earlier than that of the Tyrant and, if the stories about Dar-es-Balat were to be trusted, this early technology represented a remarkable achievement.

Very cool!
