I wonder how many times I've told you that the PT is NOT a construction manual. It is obviously a list of the rituals read to the crowds and work gangs at the kings' ascension ceremonies. I don't know how Egyptology missed this and the other tell tale signs that point to its function and meaning. Then you always say I'm repeating myself and lying.

To the Egyptians, the journey began with the creation of the world and the universe out of darkness and swirling chaos. Once there was nothing but endless dark water without form or purpose. Existing within this void was Heka (god of magic) who awaited the moment of creation. Out of this watery silence (Nu) rose the primordial hill, known as the ben-ben, upon which stood the great god Atum (or, in some versions of the myth, Ptah). Atum looked upon the nothingness and recognized his aloneness and so, through the agency of magic, he mated with his own shadow to give birth to two children, Shu (god of air, whom Atum spat out) and Tefnut (goddess of moisture, whom Atum vomited out). Shu gave to the early world the principles of life while Tefnut contributed the principles of order.""

This does not exist in the Pyramid Texts. It is derived from the "book of the dead" and later writings from a thousand years after the great pyramids. It is apparently a corruption and confusion of earlier writing.

388a. It is N. who inundated the land after it had come out of the ocean; it is N. who pulled up the papyrus;

The only relevant point right here right now is that Gigal found a fossil at Giza which was almost certainly a repeat of what the great pyramid builders found. Gigal and Petrie have also reported canals that flowed AWAY from the pyramids. Numerous fossils have been reported and there are ancient stories as well as physical evidence that floods once lapped at the very base of the plateau. Ignoring physical evidence such as vaterite (calcium deposed by water) inside the pyramid and thermal anomalies where such water might have been introduced is simply making lines like this in the PT seem far more obscure than they need be,.

You obviously agree with my interpretation of the meaning. So how what do YOU propose was the author's understanding of HOW the dead king watered the land? Do you suppose that this refers only to the efflux of his rotting corpse in the "mortuary temple"? Was he able to create rain even after his death as in utterance #510?

1146a. N. is the pouring down of rain; he came forth as the coming into being of water;
1146b. for he is the Nehebkau-serpent with the many coils;
