CT2010 Posted November 1, 2010 #126 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Pyramids, as I know were built by kings for their 'after life' . It took like almost 20 yrs to build one an dthey were well planned. Poepl of those days must have been physically bigger and stronger than us so moving a 100 KG stone by a single person must not have been a big deal. Also, the kings or their fmailes , after their death were buried and are considered to be spending their after life. Thats one reason why there was a lot of opposition by locals when westeners archaeologists tried to enter them. Drilling them is a stupid thing to do. I guess they do within certain well defined rules. They really cant break one to see what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniomancer Posted November 1, 2010 #127 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) But most of all Osiris' efflux is I[].t-wt.t. The only possible translation for this word is CO2 (yeast gas). What kind of God drips yeast gas. I think I see the connection. Bread puffs up with gas from the action of added yeast. Bodies puff up with gas from the action of bacteria. Some bright soul must've noted the similarity of the two occurrences and made the obvious descriptive association.

Doc Socks Junior Posted November 1, 2010 #128 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Perhaps my point got lost in the verbiage; Oh okay, I get it now. The point, was that since it's your theory, it won't be a bad thing which impedes progress like the current meanies in orthodoxy. And your theory will be impossible to fundamentally disprove either. Well, I guess that's not a bad point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess that's not a bad point. Where in the hell did I say that. Orthodoxy will be just as entrenched and just as resistant to progress when they believe in geysers as when they believed in ramps. If they accepted geysers with absolutely no evidence whatsoever as they accepted ramps then they could be equally likely to be wrong even on the fundamentals. I was merely assuming they wouldn't switch to geysers until the proof were rammed down their throat since they've already built a massive structure on the as- sumption of ramps.

What kind of God drips yeast gas. This lands you in as dubious territory as trying to see dwAt as "geyser." I've explained this before but it bears repeating, if but for the benefit of others reading your post. Indeed, "yeast gas" cannot be any sort of translation for the Egyptian word ixt wtt. Here again you're trying to take advantage of words Mercer didn't translate to try to pull a fast one on people who might not know the difference. I know the difference. You cannot invent translations unless you can prove on solid linguistic grounds that the hieroglyphs spelling ixt wtt somehow means "yeast gas." Anything short of succeeding in doing so on these grounds, simply cannot stand as a working argument. I remember showing this to you a long time ago in some other discussion, but for others reading this, please click on this page. I'm using Spell 436:791a as an example of the word ixt wtt. You will see ixt wtt in the box designated at the right as 791a. These are the glyphs as recorded by Kurt Sethe for Spell 436 as found in the Pyramid Texts of three different kings, whose initials appear along the left side of the box (P=Pepi I, M=Merenre, and N=Pepi II). This word ixt wtt is at the end of each line in box 791a and begins with the reed leaf (Pepi II's version of the spell omits the leaf glyph). Most important to note is the determinative at the end of each line: a cobra perched above a basket glyph. Determinatives were vital in hieroglyphs for helping to clarify the nature and meaning of a word, and they are vital to our understanding of translating such words correctly. They cannot be ignored or dismissed. The cobra and basket represent a strictly divine and royal nature to the word ixt wtt. The proper translation for ixt wtt is "Firstborn's Thing." It is well understood that this meant the designation of the king's crown as a goddess (Allen 2005: 430), in the manner that royal iconography often takes on the personifications of deities. It has nothing to do with yeast gas. Or CO2. To be perfectly honest I've never come across a word preserved in ancient Egyptian that can be translated as yeast gas. This is something else that you, cladking, would need to establish on purely linguistic grounds in the hieroglyphs. But in point of fact there were many words in Egyptian having to do with odors and emissions, and they were generally marked by a determinative shaped as a pustule. The word ixt wtt is not marked with a pustule hieroglyph, so we can dismiss the idea that it represents an odor or emission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not "promoting my theory". It doesn't matter one whit to me how they built the pyramids I merely want to know what that means was. I believe with about a 60% certainty that I have discovered that they pull- ed the stone straight up the side of the pyramid with counterweights and about 50% certain they used water from CO2 geysers as ballast. I can't prove this from this computer terminal and need someone who cares how they built the pyramid to actually look.

Anything short of succeeding in doing so on these grounds, simply cannot stand as a working argument. This is absolutely untrue (not to mention insulting). Communication is dependent on referents first and foremost. Modern people don't notice this because we all share the same referents. Translation means nothing unless the object or idea to which the English word applies is a known quantity. "Ixt wtt" is used several times in the PT and each of these usages provide a little more of the referent. There is only a single concept that fits all of the usages. It's certainly true that words take their meanings from context especially in modern languages so it is within the realm of reason that this word had a different meaning in each context. But if the meaning was the same then thaty meaning was CO2. I remember showing this to you a long time ago in some other discussion, but for others reading this, please click on this page.

It is well understood that this meant the designation of the king's crown as a goddess (Allen 2005: 430), in the manner that royal iconography often takes on the personifications of deities. "Firstborn's thing" works in only one single context. You'll have to change the definition of the word for other usages. For those seeing this for the first time I'll list one of the usages for an example; 2110b. ’I [];.t-wt.t, thou art not enveloped by the earth. 2110c. Thy fame is by day; thy fear is by night, as a god, lord of fear. 2113. O N., [the inundation comes 1, [the overflow hastens], Geb [groans]. 2114a. Exult in the divine efflux which is in thee; let thy heart live; Here they are talking about an eruption and saying that CO2 is no longer eveloped by the earth. This gas is a topic of learned discussion by day and at night when the wind slows it is feared. If you walk into a low lying area at night it would be fatal. This is Osiris' divine efflux. It is driven off by the natron in the Upper Eye of Horus. Natron is the same word as God. Natron made the Gods divine because carbonatyed water erupts with the addition of natron. "His name lives on on account of natron offerings". You can't just substitute any word you want in the text. To be perfectly honest I've never come across a word preserved in ancient Egyptian that can be translated as yeast gas. This is something else that you, cladking, would need to establish on purely linguistic grounds in the hieroglyphs. But in point of fact there were many words in Egyptian having to do with odors and emissions, and they were generally marked by a determinative shaped as a pustule. The word ixt wtt is not marked with a pustule hieroglyph, so we can dismiss the idea that it represents an odor or emission. They would have been familiar with CO2. This is why I too looked up carbon dioxide in the Egyptian grammar before I ever proposed that it meant yeast gas. It would be an error to have two words for CO2 just as it would be an error to have no words for CO2. Obviously it would be possible for this word not to have survived but I have excellent reason to believe it did survive as I[].t-wt.t Most people can't smell CO2 but it has a metallic odor to those who can. The geyser would have a very distinctive odor especially after the addition of a mixture of mus- ilagenous myhrr, grease, and natron that was applied to it.

The water collection device that surrounds the pyramid and funneled water to the cliff face counterweights to be reused was called the "apron of Horus". The vertical lines are where the ascenders and counterweights rode. The dm- sceptre was the pulley and I still need to get around to writing that post.

The whole thing is clearly coached in birth and creation terminology, Nun in particular being the primordial source from which all things came and must ultimately return. (compare to the biblical Face Of The Waters) In your insistence on literalism, you're continually attempting to divorce it entirely from it's visible religious context, and you simply cannot do that. That context and thus it's interpretation is there and nothing you can say will change that. It does no good to deny it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladking Posted November 1, 2010 #146 Share Posted November 1, 2010 BS. The only reason it doesn't make sense any other way to you is because you don't want it to. This is the PT. I didn't write it. I didn't translate it. It says what it says and it's up to the reader to make sense of it. You can't possibly believe that "thing" works in the place of "’iȝ.t;". Do you really believe the writers of this work thought "thing" made the life of the king?!? Of course not. It's ab- surd. But this is what Allen is proposing. "Firstborn's thing" doesn't work. It doesn't work because it's probably the wrong translation. It's probably the wrong translation because they are effectively turning the PT into the earliest version of the book of the dead. Go back and look at the old translations. They all agreed. There'd be little differences but the meaning of each line was nearly identical. Then Faulkner started changing it and now Allen has made it unrecognizable. When you compare translations you can't even tell where you're at because they don't agree. Maybe tomorrow I'll show you just how funny Allen's translation is for this word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well understood that this meant the designation of the king's crown as a goddess (Allen 2005: 430), in the manner that royal iconography often takes on the personifications of deities. Meaning, in essence that the king ruled by virtue of wearing the crown and therefore having the approval of the gods and goddesses. In this case the crown took on the aspect of a goddess in that, just as it was the goddess who would nurture the King, it was the King's duty to do much the same for his subjects. This, again, has absolutely nothing to do with geysers. Of course, I expect you to ignore or reinterpret this too. cormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you claim that this isn't speculation, it most certainly appears to be. I don't knock the effort, but when the flaws in your opinionated conviction are brought to your attention as kmt_sesh has generously proffered, is it not prudent to reconsider some of the assumptions you've made and return to the drawing board?

ShadowSot Posted November 1, 2010 #150 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Pyramids, as I know were built by kings for their 'after life' . It took like almost 20 yrs to build one an dthey were well planned. Poepl of those days must have been physically bigger and stronger than us so moving a 100 KG stone by a single person must not have been a big deal. Not really, they were mostly shorter than us, and not really any stronger. They had teams set up to move the stones. Also, the kings or their fmailes , after their death were buried and are considered to be spending their after life. Thats one reason why there was a lot of opposition by locals when westeners archaeologists tried to enter them. Drilling them is a stupid thing to do. I guess they do within certain well defined rules. They really cant break one to see what it is. That I recall, there wasn't a lot of opposition, the Egyptians themselves had been looting the tombs since antiquity, as well as various other groups over the years. The Chinese however do practice this, for example the first emperors tomb has still not been opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
