Of course I could be the one engaging is circular reasoning.

But I've made plenty of solid arguments that Egyptology may be assuming the conclusion.

Most of my arguments are not being addressed and the physical evidence and logic still support my interpretation.

Why would they use ramps and build a stepped pyramid? How?

Why would they keep saying literally that the pyramid is not a tomb and is the ka of the king?

If I'm fooling myself it doesn't change the fact that there is no shortage of fools.
