Every single thing I "made up" comes directly from the PT. I didn't solve the PT in terms of the "book of the dead" as Egyptologists did. I solved it in its own terms. I solved it by asking what every word had to mean for everything to make perfect sense. Only AFTER it had been solved did I start incorporating Egyptological beliefs and the beliefs in the "book of the dead'. I can easily show how each term was solved.
But it is far too complex and it required hundreds of thousands of google searches and references to wiki to be able to show all of it. I can show any individual term but showing how it all fits together is even more complex than Ancient Language itself since it must then be expressed in terms that can be parsed. It's impossible to translate Ancient Language but in order to show meaning it can only be done a single word at a time. The word (concepts) you are challenging here are best shown by the following:
1944a. + 2 (Nt. 777). The time of inundation comes, the wȝg-festival comes, to the uplands, it comes as Osiris.
When the water comes to Giza (the uplands) it comes at the geyser and it comes as "atum/ osiris". When it comes it "tosses violently" and stands:
1553b. They tremble who see the inundation (when) it tosses;
It even spreads over the graves in the cemeteries:
298c. and will let loose an inundation over the Ancients;
This is why they literally said atum/ osiris is a cool effervescent column of water that off-gasses ’Iḫ.t-wt.t (CO2).
2109. The sky trembles, the earth quakes before the god, before N.
2110a. N. [is not enveloped] by the earth;
2110b. ’Iḫ.t-wt.t, thou art not enveloped by the earth.
2110c. Thy fame is by day; thy fear is by night, as a god, lord of f ear.
2110d. Thou commandest the gods like the mighty one, chief of the mighty.
2111. [O] Osiris, the overflow comes, the inundation hastens, Geb groans.
When ’Iḫ.t-wt.t comes out of solution at night when the wind dies it can collect in low lying areas and kill all animals in that area. ’Iḫ.t-wt.t commands the gods by making shu lift nun as atum. CO2 drives the water that built the primeval mound and eventually the pyramid that replaced it. Building pyramids was an activity only of the gods (natural phenomena) and men mostly just watched.
This is the literal, coherent, and consistent meaning of the Pyramid Texts. this isn't a prayer book used by highly superstitious people. they had no superstition or words to frame superstition. It is merely a collection of the rituals that were read to say goodbye/ hello to the king when he was cremated on and became the pyramid.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
