New thinking about Egypt

They are "ks'bt" trees. This is going to blow open another dozen lines in the PT because Sopdu is the "God" of this and there exists a feminine concept named "Khensut".

This should be easily soluble.

I really shouldn't say anything until I'm sure but this just jumped right out at me today. Consider this a work in progress.

I've never been comfortable with the concept of Wepwawet (opener of the way) as the God of the drill that made the geysers. It just doesn't exactly fit and when you have little info you need precise fits. I've already been coming to believe that Wepwawet is the God of the djed (aims the geyser). I think Sopdu may be the God of the drill. This will blow the PT wide open and give me thirty lines and solidify several others I think.

Curiously it's typical Egyptian thinking. So long as the "Tree of Life" lives Sopdu must live as well. So long as the tree of life lives the king will keep drilling the fountainof youth to maintain the harvest. Here's orthodoxy on the subject;

"(Sopd, Sopdu, Sopedu) Soped’s name apparently comes from an Egyptian word meaning, literally, ‘sharp’, but which also bore a similar range of metaphorical meanings to that which ‘sharp’ has in English, i.e., ‘skilled’ or ‘effective’. The literal ‘sharpness’ which is said of Soped is that of his beak (e.g., “sharp of teeth” in PT utterance 222), for he is depicted often as a hawk, especially with a headdress of two tall plumes (these plumes possibly an astral phenomenon of some kind, viz. CT spell 61, “you shine in the plumes of Soped”) and a flail perched at his shoulder."
