I've been watching the videos of This guy.  Super interesting analysis of various Egyptian pyramids.

Well, we don't know the pronouncement of it. We don't even know where the vowels go.

The LDS church is very interested! It could be a followup to the Book of Abraham!

No wonder contemporary religion is failing. When was it decided to stop advertising free hummers from topless hot chicks in the afterlife?

Real Egyptian joke, poorly remembered from a translation:

A minister at the palace asked another minister for some advice.

"The pharaoh is depressed. How can I cheer him up?" the first minister asked.

"It is easy, my friend."  the second minister answered. "Just gather a bunch of topless maidens and ask them to float down the Nile on a pleasure barge and then encourage the pharaoh to go and catch some fish!"

You joke but that's not a terrible interpretation and ancient people were less hung up on that sort of thing.

Ya know what... pharket - why not.  This time line sucks, we could use some plagues and mummies to spice things up.

At least it would be something new and different.

The worst part about being in the worst timeline is just how repetitive this all is.

There might be some people in Chicago who can help. Something something coptic feel.
