This sort of knowledge shouldn't fall from the memory of man, it's just not natural for it to be forgotten. We're told that hundreds of thousands of men wasted their entire lives on giant flying ramps but there's no lore, no stories of lost loves, no gods and ramps and even the word "ramp" isn't even attested.
So the questiuon becomes how the hell can it be forgotten. The first question every tourist has is how was it built. Books and primary sources should have been copied and remembered. Instead there is a near total void with nothing but the PT to fill it.
It seems quite apparent that something very very very dramatic had to have happened to erase all memory of man's past. Whatever this event even removed all the books and all the writing leaving us nothing but gobbledty gook written by stumble footed bumpkins.
How can all these facts be reconciled? What possible force might account for these facts?

Egyptologists atually agree with you that the writers of the PT made numerous grammatical errors.
I believe there is a far simpler explanation for why they are so quick to change the writing to suit their beliefs and why it makes no sense. It also explains why no written record survives from the past.
The simple answer is that the writing is metaphysical in character and it is the answer right in front of our noses. People had to learn to walk again after the language changed but they couldn't translate the old books so they didn't survive. There was no ancient knowledge any longer because it couldn't be translated. Man lost science and history and gained a confused language. History restarted in 2000 BC as man was relearning to walk.

I think there are going to be a lot of surprises flowing in once we get the proper paradigm for understanding ancient people. There's some doubt in my mind that Khufu's pyramid is 12,000 years old BUT it is built over an older structure that may well be that old. Until science is done we just aren't going to know much of anything.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
