There are numerous instructions given to the individuals reading these rituals. One of the most common is "repeat three times" but far and away the most common is to "read aloud". Almost every ritual starts with the instruction, "read aloud".
Some of these rituals are very emotional so in a couple places there are even instruction to calm (quiet) the crowd. &quo

The FACT that every Egyptologist believes the PT are incantation and magic is the ONLY real issue. "Spells" have no tie to reality so their in no means to determine their meaning other than to use anachronistic sources.

I did not know Hawass returned to make a presentation. This makes him look a lot less bad.
The problem is always the same; we see what we expect. This means all evidence is interpreted in terms of the prevailing paradigm and obviously Bauval's and Hancock's theories are very weak in terms of the prevailing definitions and interpretations. If the pyramid builders really did use sav

Proof that Egyptology wants to control the narrative.
It's not sufficient that they only offer one version of ancient reality based on their own beliefs but they insist everyone must buy into it.
Meanwhile, they are mum on the many recent developments and new discoveries coming from outside Egyptology. We still haven't seen the publication of the infrared data from nearly a d

All known voids in the Great Pyramid still add up to less than 1% of the total volume.
the pyramid is very large and the chambers and passages very small.

All I do is cite evidence. Every single post is citation of evidence and you ignore it or gainsay it on the rare occasion you can see it at all. When I say the language breaks Zipf's law, there are no abstractions
