astounding! You obviously state that as an insult. Yet, I take it as one of the kindest compliments I have ever received

I don't think anyone but you took my "let's all have a go" as anything but an invitiation to free associate on the possibilities.

For what it's worth, I think I have demonstrated that I am far more qualified to speculate on the mind set of past civilisation than yourself....so what are you basing that 'Declaration from ON High' on?

Certainly Not any degree of familiarity with the Language, culture, beliefs, technology,infrastructure, and mechanisms of Kingship, of the Old Kingdom AE's, so how the hell do you get off saying that my take on their world view isn't feasible? Not actual...FEASIBLE.

You don't offer any contrary possibilities ..you are just plain CONTRARY


But again, thanks awfully for Compliment.
