Hello Anthony,
You write, ‘I've also considered that they were ancient energy plants and alien landing docks. However, without evidence, none of those idea stand up to logical scrutiny.’
Hmmm, interesting.
It had never occurred to me that I may be looking at something that actually had nothing at all to do with AE burial customs, religion, magic, science, etc.
I really must look into these “ancient energy plants and alien landing docks” ideas of yours…
You write, ‘The intent of the pyramid was to house the body of the king.’
And your
contemporary textual evidence for this being so with all (or some?) of the pyramids pre-Unas is what exactly?
You write, ‘You are glossing over this enormous distinction between intent and execution.
Not at all, Anthony.
I am addressing this issue and you are, or so it appears to me, avoiding it.
I wrote, ‘IIRC, Ritva has elsewhere pointed out how one mummy was found to be bundles of sticks.’
You reply, ‘The body of a king?’
I don’t know, but I think it unlikely to have been royalty.
But it is evidence all the same, but to what degree it is relevant to the Egyptians of the 4th and early 5th Dyn. remains to be seen.
I wrote, ‘So why should anybody baulk at the idea of the pyramid not being an actual tomb for the king in whose name it was built?’
You reply, predictably, ‘Because it's a false assertion, based on speculation, rather than fact or evidence. Can you think of any better reasons to reject it completely?’
Er, do you mean other than the fact that all evidence is open to different interpretations and contains the potential (usually realised) to create different conclusions?
Just like everybody else, Anthony, you have no proof of anything about the intended purpose
of these 4th and early 5th Dyn. pyramids, only hypotheses.
And once again I would remind you that your sense of logic may well be totally different to that of the AEs.
Now why don’t you stop waving your ‘logical conclusions’ in everybody’s face and provide us with hard details of the contemporary textual evidence that supports your opinions and to which so far only you appear to be privy.
MJ
