And all this was figured out based on a spell book that is incomprehensible. No two Egptologists agree on the meaning or translation of a single word except that neters are imaginary consciousnesses. These imaginary consciousnesses appear in virtually every sentence like a subject or a verb so it follows they mustta been superstitious. How very fortuitous and certainly certainly coincidental that it was unnecessary to change opinions after this was discovered and "translated" in the 1880's.
How is it possible you don't see a problem with this methodology?!?
The true irony is the PT literally says the pyramids were not tombs but they are stilhl interpreted to mean they were tombs.
There is no cultural context for assuming these are tombs and the word "ramp" is unattested from the great pyramid building age. The conclusion was assumed and now Egyptology can't see that their is no evidence to support their beliefs. They've ordered everything they know and every single artefact to fit their narrative that these people were made strong through superstition so they didn't need any stinkin' knowledge or science. Of course you can't see this or the poor methodology because you view all the evidence and this post through the lenses of ramps and bumpkins.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
