...and you again pretend your geyser fantasy is real...chuckle, sorry long ago rejected due to a lack of evidence. Cladking just because you believe in three legged unicorns doesn't mean you can use your belief as evidence to support the idea of unicorn 'horse' shoes.

Oh, sorry I don't believe you. Care to explain what you are basing this on? Any facts at all or just the continual use of your 16 year old failure of an idea. "what I say is fact". Why are their modern ventilation fans currently inside the pyramids? Please explain.

So they are the supreme being you portray them as huh? Did they have a word for 'it doesn't work'?

Yes what real people call - making stuff up. We already knew that. Here's a question after 16 years of no one believing you do you think it might be time to try a different approach?

Why would it be difficult to understand an English word? One of your most bone breakingly silly thing is you say you can understand a language you cannot read. That pretty much ended you credibility over 14 years ago. Especially after you also insisted over and over again that Egyptology and its translation were wholly wrong....talk about shooting yourself in the theory foot.

But you exclude there being human, their culture, religion and their actually reality - you basically make them into Cladking dolls.You've lied about them to make your fantasy real to you - but virtually no one else.
