Did the ancients know more than we do?

He also said this: "Now I’m pointing to the ‘gyptera’, which is a symbol of the ancient god – Osiris. A ‘gypt’ is the word we still use to address older people, like grandmother, grandfather – ‘gypt’. (This is used as decoration around the top of the wall.) "

Is that where Egypt gets its name?

I agree about the translation. I was reading something about the boats (w word, wasarat or something like that) and how translators think it means in the spiritual sense when they are probably really talking about a boat. Egyptologists seem to have made up half of it. It's a shame to change the author's original intent. I always hated deconstructing literature.

I've already forgotten a lot of what I know about Egypt and this especially applies to things that don't affect my theory or are not well understood and the origin of the word "Egypt" falls into this latter category. What is reasonably well known is the ancients referred to "Kmt" usually rendered "Kemet" which liuterally means "Black Land" after the color of the earth when high Nile receeds presumably. "Egypt" is a corruption of the Greek "Aegypta" if memory serves but how this word arose appears to be speculation. Some respected Egyptologists believe that the ancients typically referred to the country as "The Two Lands" which they believe are the united "Upper" and "Lower" Egypt but I suspect they might be wrong even on this. I can't seem to rule out the possibility that "Upper Egypt" is the high land up outside the Nile (Giza and the Land of Horus especially as well as the oases etc) and that lower Egypt is the Nile Valley itself. This is not so well established as they would have you believe. Certainly there have been political divisions between the delta and the rest of the Nile Valley in the past though. Simply stated many terms changed their meaning before our first attested and established finding of them. Nothing survives from the age of pyramid building and Egyptology mostly just forces later concepts and facts back into time to fill this void.

The most disturbing thing to me and what should be telling to all is that orthodoxy simply doesn't recognize anything about the great pyramid builders other than things related directly and specifically about religion. The answer to every single question one can imagine is "it was for unknown religious reasons". Of course they omit the word "unknown" and argue amongst themselves about the specific religious reasons. There is nothing in orthodox thought that explains how these people lived and ran an economy and no allowance for infrastructure to accomplish their sophisticated economy and tremendous lifting to build.

Orthodoxy will be proven wrong in time because it is inconsistent with reality and human nature.
