It's not like I'm just making this stuff up.

2065a. Behold N., his feet shall be kissed by the pure waters,
2065b. which come into being through Atum, which the phallus of Shu makes, which the vulva of Tefnut brings into being.
2066a. They have come to thee, they have brought to thee the pure waters which issue from their father;
2066b. they purify thee, they fumigate thee, N., with incense.

The foot of the pyramid is the feet of the dead king (N) and it is a water collection device. All the pyramids were built on a water collection device. Atum is the source of the "pure waters" where Shu's phallus is the column of standing water. Tefnut is the spray of falling water which surrounds this upward moving column.

Around the 2:12 mark you can see Tefnut gettin' it good.

The "fumigation is hydrogen sulphide (a deadly gas), carbon dioxide (a deadly gas) and copper sulphate (an emetic).

It's all there but modern language confuses everything and people can't see what they don't expect. We've been looking for superstitious bumpkins all these years and they can be seen in any mirror.

Me? Well, I rarely get personal but let me tell you about my day. I mentioned off hand that I had solved a major piece of the PT and gained a new insight into the way the Egyptians thought that might give me a lot more. (don't worry this really is on-topic ) Remember how objects have both masculine and feminine characteristics so pronouns can change in mid-sentence? A pipe is masculine but if you're talking about the inside then it's feminine and you use "her" instead of "his". Other concepts have the same treatment. The feminine of "height" is depth.

1660b. make this pyramid of N. endure, and this his temple, for ever and ever,
1660c. as the name of Atum, chief of the Great Ennead, endures.
1661a. As the name of Shu, lord of the upper mnś.t in Heliopolis, endures,
1661b. so may the name of N. endure,
1661c. so may this his pyramid endure, and this his temple, likewise, for ever and ever.
1662a. As the name of Tefnut, lady of the lower mnś.t in Heliopolis, is established,
1662b. so may the name of N. be established,

I finally figured out what "mns.t" is. I had thought it was critical to understanding but it's probably minor actually. Well here goes... "Shu" is the God of Upward and Tefnut the Goddess of Downward and were the twins born when Atum created himself through masturbation. "Mns" means "ejaculation" and all words are feminized by adding an ".t". It never occured to me that such a word could be feminized and I only recently learned this specific definition. I believe that "mns.t" is simply "ejaculate trajectory" since the feminine concept for ejaculation would be where it goes.

Of course everyone looked at me like I'm nuts but I'm used to it.

Atum's ka glistens in the sun and is adorned with a rainbow. It's not my fault no one believes what they actually said. It's not my fault that they said it. Nor is it my fault that they removed his ka and put it in a temple and then lifted it to heaven as the capstone for a pyramid.

I might not move very fast but I don't need to be dusted quite yet.

That was kind of sexy, clad. And the last bit was funny. haha I like you. You are a good sport.

Nothing wrong with being in the trajectory. One of my favorite things.

...Gotta love a woman who knows her own mind and what she likes.

489a. N. has looked to you, as Horus looked to Isis;
489b. N. has looked to you, as the Nḥb.w-kȝ.w (serpent) looked to Śrḳ.t-ḥtw;
489c. N. has looked to you, as Sebek looked to Neit;
489d. N. has looked to you, as Set looked to the two harmonius (goddesses).

I bet when they stuck the last brick on a pyramid a sigh of relief could be heard in India.

Ow! That hurts!

No doubt you are aware that not even Egyptologists believe that there were any slaves working on the pyramid. Personally, I believe working the quarry could have been a job for slaves but if so even they were taken well care of since it appears they ran some water out here presumably for dust suppression.

What gets things done today is putting a yoke on mother nature. Probably what has always been most effective for doing a great deal of work is harnessing the elements of nature. The Egyptians referred to these elements as "Neters" and they said that the Neters built the pyramids.

I've changed my tactics again and have gone on the offensive for the first time. I'm not sure how far I'll carry it but as long as they won't do the science and won't answer the argument it seems there's no choice but to ramp up the size of the fool I'm making of myself.

The following post is essentially designed to fire a shot over the bow of the believers and was posted this morning. The next few shots will go in below the water line.


The evidence against ramps is simply overwhelming but there has been no single piece of evidence that proves it. Certainly one can point at several things that individually weigh very heavily against the concept of men dragging stones like the utter lack of evidence for ramp builders or stone draggers in the face of the titles of the actual builders but people tend to want a single item that proves or disproves an idea and none of these rises to this level.

There is one piece of evidence that while not truly proof does constitute in itself sufficient evidence to deny ramps. This evidence has existed for decades and is misinterpreted. People see what they expect rather than what actually exists.

Take a new look at this;



People want to see a ramp here but there are no ramps. Yes, a couple of the lines could be interpreted to desiginate ramps but this is a trick of the mind much more what the eye sees.

This image clearly shows a five step pyramid. These same five steps are even visible from the outside on a few of the pyramids including both G1 and G2;



Look at the first picture again and you can see most of the first step especially on the west and south sides. The white stripe on the west side shows a half step so the east side is well defined by the half step there. The second step is visible on all sides. The third step also is defined on all sides. The 4^th step is very poorly defined except in some pictures but a small section of the top N Eastern side is visible.

Each of these steps is a little more than 81' (27.7 m) in height.

It is simply nonsensical to build a step pyramid with ramps. It is more nonsensical to build a series of five step pyramids using ramps and this is more true when the lifting required to build them increases more than 40 fold. Steps are necessarily extra work to build and show that whatever lifting method was employed could lift stones only 81' vertically at a time.

Ramps are out and we need to look for a means consistent with the rest of the evidence as well. How can anyone in good conscience teach children that ramps were used to build the Great Pyramid or say with a straight face that the only possible means to lift stones is a ramp? This nonsense has gone on too long and it's time to get out there and do science. It's time to cast aside the superstitions and praying for evidence of ramps.

What are we afraid of?

i expect you are celebrating Howard Carter's 138^th birthday today Clad.



Howard Carter (9 May 1874 – 2 March 1939) was an English archaeologist and Egyptologist known for having a primary role in the discovery of the tomb of 14^th-century BC pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Actually I have to confess I missed it altogether :wink:

There's a supposed curse associated with this and a bunch of people who were involved were dead in a few years. It's mostly fantasy but it makes good copy to sell papers.

I finally managed to get an image posted. This sucker essentially proves that ramps weren't used to build great pyramids. This shows a five step pyramid of 81' 3" steps under the Great Pyramid. They lifted stones 81' 3" at a time because they had only 100' ropes and that's how high you can lift stones using counterweights.

i emailed this to Clad, but wanted to post it also...

The man who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, Howard Carter, was inundated with sinister letters warning him of 'the curse of the pharaohs', his newly released archives have revealed.

The legend was fueled at the the time by newspaper reports and famous contemporaries like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes, who believed the 'curse' was to blame for a number of mysterious deaths of those on Howard's team.

Howard's descendents are now selling all his papers, photos, effects and other 'wonderful things' that have remained with the family.

Carter

hi Clad! cool!







A student has uncovered the 3,000-year-old secrets of seven Egyptian mummies - after scanning them at a Manchester hospital.

Abeer Helmi was stunned when curators at the British Museum in London agreed to loan out the priceless artefacts for her research project.

Curators even agreed to drive the mummies 200 miles north to be tested in a CT scanner, designed for examining hospital patients.

A lot of this stuff even from later times is really interesting. There were mummies with false toes and all sorts of oddities that are mostly inexplicable. One of these days I just might get to studying the later Egyptians. It's fascinating the way the ancient practices evolved over the centuries until their origins were simply forgotten yet the practice tended to stay true to the original. These were fascinating people before and after the language became confused.

A cool new archaeological find...well, I think so anyway.

Snip:
A 3,300-year-old Egyptian coffin from the time of the pharaohs has been discovered in the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday.

The cylindrical clay coffin from the Late Bronze Age, which was discovered with the skeleton of an adult inside, has a cover fashioned in the image of a person, called an anthropoidal lid.



It is the first anthropoidal coffin found in the country in 50 years.

A rare gold signet ring was discovered near the coffin, with the gold-encased scarab seal bearing the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I.



That Egyptian ruler is the father of Ramses II, identified by some scholars as the pharaoh mentioned in the biblical story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, which Jews around the world will be celebrating on Passover.

Those are cool.

There's never much gold found.

New rooms have been found in the pyramids. Maybe something will be found that was never known maybe nothing but I bet it takes years before anything is drilled into or moved.

Unless ISIS get's ahold of them.

The daesh do NOT want to piss off the Egyptians.
