It seems that as time went by the Egyptians had an increasing
number of gods. The pyramid texts can be read as a sort of warn-
ing to the Gods in heaven that a new God is approaching (the king's
ka) and must be taken seriously. It even appears as though these
might have been written taylored to the life of the specific king.
This could account for the growing numbers of Gods over the dynasties.

Yes, there also appear to be fragments or incantations which are
not specific. Is it possible that a few high priests and successor
kings wrote these so some phaeroahs might have had multiple passages
and some but a single one?

I'm interested in the possibility that Min/ Den is the same.

I'm still looking for a source of water pressure and most everything
has been ruled out. But it is fascinating that Min stands on a block
raising a pyramid and fertile as all get-out. His plumes rise high in
the air and in one text Nut is impregnated with fury.

Min is one of the earliest and among the most important and powerful
of all the Gods.

This is right up most peoples' alley here, so what's wrong with this
new crackpot idea?
