Thank you but I don't see that this is relevant to how it is interpreted. I believe it was actually a literal "saw' and that "palace" meant a "place that a god works". Of course they knew the gods worked everywhere but a "palace" was a "man made' place that set gods to work to accomplish specific goals; in this case to cut stone using the weight of water to operate the saws.
