My sincere apologies, Scott, if you felt that the paper confused the issue in any way. (Although, as I consider that there is no persuasive evidence whatsoever for either the OCT or the GOCT, the distinction would seem to be rather academic ... )

No: merely a group of AE funerary monuments designed and constructed at different times in the OK.

“Visual”? But, unless you’re floating in the air somewhere above the Giza Plateau (and how many ancient Egyptians, or their remote ancestors, do we know who did that?), you couldn’t see the arrangement formed by the positions of the various pyramids anyway … How would the supposed designers of the alleged layout of the Giza Plateau have known that future generations would (a) ever see this design, and (b) (if they ever did succeed in seeing it) grasp its supposed significance? And “clue”? A clue is something that indicates the solution of a mystery. In order for this to take place, there has to be (a) a mystery, and (b) some indication in the first place of there being a mystery at all …

There’s a bit of a conceptual leap here, though, from the layout of a series of funerary monuments early in the historic era to a supposed warning (of a cyclical disaster speculatively connected with a theoretical cosmic event) presented by a supposed civilization that allegedly long pre-dated the AE …

Do we? How? If this had been the case, couldn't we have expected a few representations of cataclysms at various points within the Giza complex? Why, anyway, would the ancient designers have cared about the fate of remote posterity?

Probably because the translator of the text thought that “codex” was the most appropriate and accurate term for the context in question.
>Perhaps “model" would have been a better choice of word??
A codex is not the same thing as a model. If the translator had thought that “model” was the most accurate rendering of the significance of the hieroglyphs in question, one might wonder why he did not use the word “model”.
