I do not "question" the translation. I question the interpretation of its meaning.

Once you actually understand author intent then you can see some of the flaws. So long as you believe "neter" is an imaginary consciousness that affects mans' destiny then you can't see author intent. "Neter" didn't mean imaginary consciousness it meant natural phenomenon.
The grammar in ancient language required a natural process or phenomenon ion every sentence. Egyptology believes there was an imaginary consciousness in every sentence!!! No wonder they think the people were highly superstitious.

No! I meant word meaning must be determined by context. Egyptologists used the book of the dead to determine word meaning.
This is why they are wrong.

You believe that the ancient believed in life after death, a 6 1/2 million ton tombstone, and using a god in every sentence!!!! Call it by any name you choose but these people are being portrayed as ignoramuses on a biblical scale.

Nonsense. They have been translated into English. Just because Egyptology admits they can't understand it doesn't mean I can't.

I was told by a very wise man that I couldn't understand the pyramid builders until I understood the Pyramid Texts. I went into it looking for ramps or anything else and saw nothing the first few times I read it. After I read it thirty or forty times it started to make a little sense. After following every lead and leaning more science through google it started to make a lot of sense. Everytime I read it another thought, line, word, or sentence becomes clear. It's really not that complicated, it's just different.
