Rarely have I followed such an interesting discussion about the AE, so I took the time reading "Letters to the Crocodile God", and had another brilliant idea, though less so than all the other well informed and thoroughly thought out evidence from more reliable sources than myself apropos the AE life and death style.

Many papyrus fragments were found at "the ancient oasis town of Tebtunis", where is " massive temple to the crocodile god Sobek", it says i the article. Apparently, for the "common people", Sobek was an oracle because he "could pick out the culprit" when something was stolen from them. "We didn't know this ritual before," said Professor Gallazzi, "So we think now that all over Egypt people used to write these cards when they couldn't find a thief or a killer." This might be the origin of the famous "post card" on which answers are given

"And when we find religoius documents, we can understand more about previously unrecognized religious-magic rituals [surrounding the crocodile god] pertinent to Egypt," said Gallazzi. This statement caused my brilliant idea, i.e., it was not the crocodiles of the Nile dragging the bodies of kings into their habitat, but the "crocodile god" did this by magical powers, and that's why nobody saw any earthly crocodiles making off with bodies or mummies of kings and queens. The puzzled AE also had a brilliant thought: We make statues of our beloved kings because they are hard and tasteless to crocodiles. This is the best and most logical explanation yet, no?
