OF PROTECTING THE BOAT OF RA (From the Papyrus of Nu, British Museum, No. 10,477, sheet 97) The chapter of protecting the boat of Ra.

Apparently this module is no longer active but it was from this site. (Moderator's note: The article to which you refer - Colin Reader: Giza Before the Fourth Dynasty can be found at ) Of course I believe the more salient fact is that the wear can be consistent with water flow from above (the pyramid area). The fact that the causeway follows this general route implies thaby cladking - Ancient Egypt

We're talking about a completely different culture from 4600 years ago. The idea that work crew organization has some universality to it, like the law of gravity or friction, is patently absurd.

This is another area where orthodoxy runs into trouble. The workmen were divided up into five crews which were each named after the part of a boat. Within these crews were smaller gangs but little seems to be known about tby cladking - Ancient Egypt
The Palmero stone implies the Khufu built the Great Pyramid, and Menkaure might have built the small one. It is less definitive for Khafres pyramid.by cladking - Ancient Egypt

Of course I meant "who" in the "racial" sense. Obviously there is some legitimate interest in this as well as those who would use it as a weapon against other races today.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
Exactly. It's often a form of bigotry as well. The simple fact is that there are far more similarities between "races" than differences. You have nearly as much chance being similar to someone of another race as being similar to a cousin. Does it really matter who did what in antiquity. If it does matter to someone then I think he should ask himself why. The anby cladking - Ancient Egypt
I'm not familiar with "percolation" in this context. Even water rising through limestone into dry air I don't believe would tend to peel the surface. Some of the areas that appear worn are higher up in the chamber and should have only trace amount of water to conduct.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
Just kidding. I may or may not really understand the theory or fully support it but am sure I'll like it more than most of the stuff out there. There's no question in my mind that water in all its forms and sources was far more intertwined with the ancients than most peo- ple have imagined. I can't read any of the source material and not believe it.by cladking - Ancient Egypt

I'm in no hurry. I just hope I get due credit when it is published.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
This might be relevant and is, unsurprisingly, one of my favorite passages from Horapollo. I doubt many people pay this ancient priest much mind since he was so very wrong about heiroglypics.

The underground chamber appears to have heavy water erosion in many places. Whether or not this is "unquestionable" is open to some debate probably. Photos certainly show some kind of wear.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
The only rainfall that would normally be able to get into this shaft even with no protection at all would be the area that's the width of the shaft to the top of the pyramid. This is what, about 125 square feet? Even if it rained 5 inches per hour for 45 minutes (which would be a 2000 year rain probably) we're only talking about 1,200 gallons of water.

This accounts for the varying styles and antiquity of the writing for the various utterances. Some might have been older reworked "poems" but most appear to be in their original form. It's concie- vable that a single writer might use different styles but using dif- ferent references and temporal orientation would be most difficult. There would be no apparent point in diby cladking - Ancient Egypt
This thread really deserves more attention and I had intended to contribute to it. I've been caught up in a few other things which are more tangentally related to Isis recently. Here is A good version of the Isiris/ Isis story; I find the Tet to be quite interesting. This should be similar to the box in which Osiris reclined. The fourth version is especially interesting aby cladking - Ancient Egypt
It's interesting, though likely irrelevant, that secondary rainbows are formed around 52 degrees (depending on specific color). 52/ 40 should be around blue, I think.by cladking - Ancient Egypt

Most speculation has the slaves toiling on the two dams which contained water in Lake Moeris which was let out gradually to keep the Nile flowing all year. Where in most stories Moses parted the Red Sea for the slaves to escape there is new evidence which suggests this might be a mis- translation and it was actually "the Sea of Reeds" which was parted.

I believe there are also some copper smelters that are round and a few round tombs. There are numerous holes bored in rocks. Of course anything hinged at a point like the door of the Great pyramid describes a circle as it is operated.by cladking - Ancient Egypt

Here's another minor thing on the same general subject; # It won't allow copy and paste but the part in question is in the 6th through 8th paragraphs.

Fascinating stuff. I've been so busy with the Egyptians that I haven't been able to devote much time to the things I've run across. This is very high on the list of things to get to ASAP though.
