The earliest titular artifact from there ttbomk is a door arch attested to Khasekhemwy ( the last King to NOT employ the cartouche, unless very late in his reign so no examples have been found. Also he was responsible for replacing the the Horus Falcon onto the serekh after Peribsen's homage to Set on his serekh.

I agree with your original post that the development of Royal titulary is well known

But as this site is restricted by the Military , no definitive work has been done there for Decades

The Sun Temple became more and more prominent within each King's Funerary complex throughout the 5th and 6th dynasties , yes.

The power concerned was the Divine. What else could inspire an entire Culture? There certainly isn't any evidence that they benefitted from Electric power, that I know of. Unless one supposes that they used the energy to build the structures that they needed to create the energy...Huh? What!


Regardless, you definitely present your case from a knowledge of the historical record. Chris Dunn's work is pretty damn good too. But it's a long way from possible to plausible and on.

Besides, I don't mind feeding you the questions that allow you to elaborate.
