Kindly don't lecture me on the English language. No, "could always do" does
not necessarily imply encouragement. It was merely a suggestion.

Actually, stifling several yawns: but I felt that it was only courteous to try and acknowledge the amount of work that had gone into the paper, even if the paper's findings were (IMO) a complete waste of time.

No: it wasn't. "Should" implies "ought". I did not think that you "ought" to publish your work on a website: I said that it was something that you "could always" do (if anyone wanted to read it), and then discuss it here, on Ma'at (if anyone wanted to discuss it).

Kindly refrain from telling me what I can and can't publish on this board. You seem to be trying to argue that polite acknowledgement of the
quantity of effort that had gone into your work is to be taken as endorsement of its
quality. For the record:
it isn't. What is more, I am now fast losing patience with this discussion, which seems to be drifting away from the subject of the Bent Pyramid and its (claimed) connection with precession.
So once again: there is no reliable evidence that the AE had any knowledge of the mechanism that causes this phenomenon; or that they had developed an early Zodiac; or that any such astronomical phenomena had anything whatsoever to do with the construction of the Bent Pyramid. If you know of any evidence to the contrary, then produce it. You might also want to answer Graham's post - [
