This utterance is an easier one and very telling.

2018a. To say: A Great One is fallen on his side; he is up like a god;
2018b. his śḫm-sceptre is with him; his white crown is upon him.

The "god" is "devine" when he stands. His crown is upon him when he is "seated" on his throne in the upper eye of horus. The shm-sceptres (power sceptres) deflect the water into the nurse canal on top of the pyramid.

2019a. N. is fallen on his side; N. is up like a god;
2019b. his śḫm-sceptre is with him; his white crown is upon him, like the white crown of Rē‘,

The water recovers from low pressure and again is in the upper eye.

2019c. when he ascends in the horizon, and when he is greeted by Horus in the horizon.
2020a. O N., raise thyself up;
2020b. receive thy dignity, which the Two Enneads made for thee (e.g. "conferred upon thee").

The earthly and heavenly enneads give osiris n his dignity by constructing the pyramid that he might live forever.

2021a. Thou art on the throne of Osiris, in the place of the First of the Westerners.
2021b. Thou hast taken his śḫm-sceptre; thou hast carried off his great white crown.

The sceptre is for the purpose of carrying off the crown (toward the counterweight).

2022a. O N., how beautiful is this, how great is this which thy father, Osiris, has, done for thee!

It is atum/ osiris who creates the pyramid...

2022b. He gave thee his throne,

...by first building the mehet weret cow that contains the upper eye of horus in which the water stands.

2023a. that thou mayest rule those of secret places, that thou mayest lead their venerable ones,
2023b. and that all the glorified ones may follow thee in this their name of "Secret places."

The builders (humans) respond to the water flow

2024a. O N., thou art happy; thou art proud;

2024b. thou art an Atum; thou wilt not depart from his destiny.

The dead king (N) becomes the water itself. He is "Osiris N". He is the water as well as the pyramid and is dignified.


The Pyramid Texts only appears to be goggledty gook because it is not understood. It is written in a metaphysical language which is completely ifferent from any known language today. Modern languages are not metaphysical. Modern languages mean what the listener believes they mean but metaphysical language has only the meaning intended by the speaker. If this meaning isn't understood then there is no meaning and it just sounds like gobbledty gook or word soup.
