I appreciate the interest and thanks for the links.

This is much of the trouble; in order to understand the PT you have to understand them all at once like directions for a computer. The people who write directions and PT never thought like you and I. People who can translate gobblety gook into English are few and far between, God knows I can't. Apparently Microsoft doesn't have even one English speaking employee as evidenced by the impossibility of using their products.

I've never tried this before but let me see if I can get it into a paragraph;

I believe it clearly states that the carbonated water named atum (osiris) sprayed out of the ben ben on the primeval mound through the eye of horus. When human knowledge (thot) became more advanced the ben ben was removed and the vent was drilled so that water could be caught higher in the sky with the mehet weret which contained the upper eye of horus. This upper eye was the origin of the winding watercourse that led the water (set) onto the pyramid top (81' 3") and into the counterweight (isis) on the west side. This lifted stone (horus the younger) on the east side of the stepped pyramid. These steps were the ladder or stairway of the king to heaven where he was cremated and became pyramid/ atum/ etc. The steps were required to build pyramids because they could lift stones only 81' 3" (or less depending on the specific pyramid).

It's pretty much just all mixed up because the PT is just ritual that was read to the crowds at various ascension ceremonies. There was no attempt to impart order to these because there was no natural order to most of these rituals. It's difficult to understand because the language expresses meaning in context and the context is garbled because translators don't understand the meaning in this work (they believe theses are "spells").

I've spent a lot of time working on the mechanism that brought water to this site. If I recall I had pretty much settled on CO2 geysers even before I found the meaning of "I[].t-wt.t" in the PT was CO2. This was the gas that fell from Atum onto the desert sands. There are several very attractive mechanisms for water to get to Giza but each has a fundamental problem thatleads me to suspect it is improbable. My first hypothesis was a very high flood in the Fayuum and my second was a conduit from Aswan. Over the years I cointinue to revisit this question and there are intriguing possibilities but at this point there's so much evidence for CO2 both on the ground (hot springs, a ben ben in the Sphinx Temple today, etc, etc) that I'm working on things that can be more easily solved.
