This is simply untrue. It's not even true that I based my interpretations of pyramid construction on a literal interpretation of the Pyramid texts but this would be far closer to the truth.

All of my interpretations of meaning in the Pyramid Texts were based principally on how each word was used in context. Once a word in used enough times in context it no longer matters what anyone thinks it means whether he authored it or parsed it. It comes to mean only what is implied by context.

There were very very very few words in Ancient Language so each word tended to be used a great many times. This facilitated the deduction of meaning from context. Rather than using later writing and later ideas to solve word meanings I used mostly the context of the PT itself. Obviously, I came to make assumptions about other things such as pyramid construction that tied in with the context of the writing. But bear in mind that my work was still constrained by the literal meaning of the writing. I'm not the one who said isis and nephthys used boats tied together to build the pyramid. It was the authors who literally said this.

Obviously we all engage in circular reasoning but the pyramid construction horse was not what I hitched before the literal cart. My horse was the assumption that all people always make perfect sense in terms of their premises. My cart is that the literal meaning of Ancient Language is the intended meaning.

Ofttimes the tail and dog are indistinguishable. Neither can wag without the other.
