I'm spoiling for a fight.

It's a shame some posts were lost here.

Here's some interesting stuff;

"In the Amduat, seventh hour, the extent of sandbanks in the netherworld is 440 = 11 x 40 cubits, the same measure as the base length of the Khufu pyramid: Ts nHA-Hr m dwA.t mH 440 pw m Aw.t=f “The sandbank of the ‘Horrible of face’ in the netherworld is 440 cubits in length”; (…) sDA.w mw rn n Ts pn mH 440 m Aw.t=f mH 440 m sx.w=f “(…) ‘Bringing water’ is the name of this sandbank, it is 440 cubits in length and 440 cubits in breadth“ (Warburton, 2007: 230-31)."

This is from later in Egyptian history and I usually avoid this crap since it can lead you far astray but Khufu's Pyramid is 440 cubits by 440 cubits. There's sand in the walls of the queens chamber which I believe is from the dissolution of egyptian red sandstone. The red siderite comes out and gets lots of mention in the ancient texts from the feast of the red clothes to the red beer that cause Hathor to stop her killing spree. The bottom of the heiroglyph for "pyramid" is even red because... ...well... ...the bottom of the pyramid was red.

The sand accumulated around the horrible face that brought water until they started building pyramids. It was the sand bank of horrible face bringing water.

I got your horrible face right here;
