Can you cite the evidence?

You might be led to that conclusion. I'm not.

We've had this conversation I don't how many times, and you've never yet produced any reasonable evidence for this.

It might show you that, because that's what you want to see. Does it show it to anyone else?

Can you cite this evidence, please ...

So whatever symbol you had in mind is triangular. But just because something is triangular in shape, it doesn't mean that it's necessarily anything to do with an AE pyramid.

Oh, for Heaven's sake, Oggy ... There is no evidence for a "non-earthly" culture, no evidence for an "ancient code". What the architects of the pyramids had in mind was designing a construction in accordance with their own cultural and ritual concerns.

Yes, a late feature of the myth, not found until the NK. The number of body parts varies in different versions of the legend, but the general idea seems to be that a body part should rest in each nome. (Hart, Dictionary, 166-167). The number of nomes changed during the course of AE history.
