I've been studying and researching for many years now.

It is entirely possible that rather than Egyptology being wrong it is I who is wrong.

What I mean is that there are no words that appear in the Pyramid Text translations on many pages of a regular paperback dictionary. There are so few different words in Ancient Language that many pages in the dictionary contain none of them. Of course this could in part be a vagary of the nature of the different 'alphabets" so I did check a few sections of the dictionary. This was back when I was trying to estimate the total number of words in their language based largely on deduction and the PT. I came up with a number of about 15,000 with most of them being nouns and adjectives. This is because of he way the language was structured, I believe. We have over 100,000 with most being abstractions and virtually all having some degree of abstraction and some abstract definitions.

It is abstractions missing from Ancient Language as well as words like 'think" and "believe". These words didn't arise until later.
