Given you've never published any I would be willing to take the chance.

No Cladking this is your usual boring hand waving to try and make your opinions - sans evidence - fact. It fails each and every time you try it. Remember what Einstein said?

...and on the basis that this is your un-evidence opinion I reject it. Still waiting for your detailed study to support all this 'stuff' you've made up - its been 14 years - how's it going?

In your opinion - the AE were talking about the God Osiris

In your opinion

No its your opinion that this happened. There is zero evidence that boats could fly or a working funicular powered by geyser ever existed. Still waiting for your detailed engineering study with supporting computer simulation to support you contentions - are we ever going to see these?

Then provide your translation of the PT with a full glossary and lexicon of what every word means with documented support to show why it means what it says and why everyone else is wrong - I think that will take you about 1,500 pages - with footnotes.
