I didn't say it was a source. I said it was a "quick synopsis of this "migration" of deities in that particular setup". If the text is easy to grab from Wiki, why bother rewriting it?

Never became "Atum-Re"?

I'm sure she does. Her book is an excellent collection of rational analysis of a plethora of evidence.

The fact that members of it did not have any prominence whatsoever in Egypt until Dynasty V is a pretty good start.
