Cladking makes believes that Egyptologists believe that magic (he includes belief in gods is also magic) is real because the AE thought it was. He is completely irrational on this point and refuses to understand or retract his belief

Yep but Cladking insists that Egyptologists believe these gods were real and helped the AE build the pyramid, he the hero, insists that the gods didn't exist and also that the AE didn't believe in them and has renamed all the Egyptian gods as various natural things or purposes. He declines to understand the motivation gain by those who believe in religion can aid them in doing something they feel will gain them 'merit'. Its just another of plethora of weird and wrong ideas you cannot shake from his brain.
