I believe this is the most disturbed site on the face of the planet and that disturbance didn't end until the beginning of the FIP. Not only was the primordial mound hauled away but even the soil was carted off eventually.

There are some long drill shafts that survive of sufficient size but I doubt they have a means to attach to another shaft in evidence.

Bronze was pretty valuable over several periods of human history and there's great question in my mind that such equipment would survive such periods as well as wars, floods, fires, and the numerous other calamities that befall all the things made by man.

I think most of it relates to building things with counterweights. From Osiris standing in a djed with an ankh (geyser) on his head to the bull of heaven with a djed under his chin. Even the duties of the earthly ennead are laid out to extend the primordial mound so the king can live forever.

I believe the water was caught by the Mehet Weret cow which channeled the celestial waters. Khenti irty was the God of this device and he had two eyes. The lower one was covered with a djed over which the Gods stood. The djed was aimed to hit the upper one.

I don't believe this idea was intended as part of the PT. There are very few elements of it in the PT though it is entirely impossible that this isn't overly far from their beliefs at that time. It's not superstition which I believe doesn't appear in the PT but metaphor. I believe they were just expressing the concepts in their own words. It appears like metaphor to modern people because we think differently and because the literal meanings are so hard to believe.

Almost any of this would almost constitute proof of the theory and the evidence they didn't exist would be proof the theory is wrong.
