I did. I gained a stronger impression of cherry-picking.
“We told this to the King Surid Ben Shaluk: he built the Pyramids for the safety of us, and also as tombs for himself and for his household. When Surid died, he was buried in the eastern Pyramid; his brother Haukith, in the western; and his nephew Karwars, in the smaller — the lower part of which is built with granite, but the upper with a stone called Kedan.”
Are you going to reject this cherry? No doubt you are, but I see no justification for your doing so: it’s attributed to a Coptic source (probably as reliably as any of this material) and related by Masoudi.
Seems to me that you’re not telling the truth even about your vaunted “Coptic-Egyptian tradition”.

Screaming’s coming mainly from you, Scott, fitting for someone scared to answer my posts.
