Dave: "It also seems significant, to me, that during Sneferu's reign great leaps forward in building technilogy were made, while Sneferu's name had the glyph for cubit on it, in its role as signifying truth."
Not true - Snefru's name does not have the glyph for cubit in it as I explained last night here: [
www.hallofmaat.com]
Snefru's 'Two Ladies Lord of Maat' name, was written with the 'forearm' sign, D36 (a) - the 'a' in mAat.
The determinative for cubit (mH) is the 'forearm with palm of hand downwards' sign, D42 - a subtly different sign to D36.
Noticing these subtle distinctions is crucial to any serious study.
