The last of the Pyramid Texts seems to be coming into focus.
I'm getting dozens of new lines with each reading now. The newest is that that "Thot" is not the God of sacred wisdom as Egyptology believes. He is a very difficult concept to translate but the closest I can come is "human advancement" or "human scientific and philosophical progress". "Thot" = thought. Funny how this stuff works.
What's much more interesting though is that many "utterances" are presented in the first person. "I" ascend to the imperishable stars. Egyptology calls the first person "the operator"; that it is some specific yet unnamed person. Actually it appears that the so called operator is actually "Thot" "God (the change in) Human Progress".
Disregarding a few dozen words that are as yet untranslated and utterances with excessive fragmentation I think I understand nearly 90% of the basic meaning. I can write this stuff now.
