I regret that I don't find these arguments very convincing.

Khufu's full cartouche name was Khnum-Khufu, "Khnum protect me." As we know, this refers to Khnum, god of creation and growth, a deity with whom Khufu was evidently keen on identifying himself.

But I don't know of any connection between Khnum and Saturn ...
