Yes he and I have discussed before that many of the Pyramid texts don't come from the site of Unas pyramids but our located all over Egypt and from different times. He simply refuses to accept any information he doesn't like.
When the entire utterance is read it sounds like and is an incantation and it probably rhymed and sounded quite stirring.
You can take separate lines from Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues under the sea and make it sounds like a naughty visit to a bordello
“We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.”
"We are interested in your opinion on this monster?"
“No sir, it is evidently a gigantic narwhal”
“What! You know German?”
“His countenance had resumed its habitual imperturbability.”
"Get your range and fire"
“God, if he believed in Him, and his conscience, if he had one, were the only judges to whom he was answerable.”
"She's showing us her heels, sir!"
"Well hit her in the heels then"
"You cannot do this! It is uncivilized"
"Do you know the meaning of love Professor"?
Etc.,etc
