Ah but Cladking will simply dismiss this because he has already stated that Merer wasn't writing in ancient language therefore it is not admissible for that and the 'opinion' of an Egyptologist to what is written about the akh is simply wrong - don't you know he's made it part of his manifest that anything he doesn't like written by an Egyptologist is by his definition wholy wrong....well except for the English translations of the PT those are okay...lol

There is simply nothing he won't dismiss or ignore.
