Oh and that all means what exactly and where is the hydraulic cycle?
Set; The water under and on the ground.
You have no meaning for Unas - so what is it?
You have no meaning for Isis in your lexicon but have '[]nw-boat: The counterweight which lifted the stones and in which Osiris became Seker'.
What does Serget mean is it serket?
This doesn't make any sense
Here is 308 again
489: Unas saw you, as Horus saw Isis.
Unas saw you as Neheb-kau saw Serqet.
Unas saw you as Sobek saw Neith.
Unas saw you as Seth saw the Two Harmonious Ones."
