Duat do what

Agriculture is key here. Tithe is tenth which has been custom for a very long time. (wiki isn't working for that) The percent taken by state or given to god/church does cause it to become a shared experience between what is taken and given of whatever the exchange is. What holds these things together? A tenth, lol
Could think about energy exchange and telluric etc, =P

On page 120 of his book Voyage d’Egypte et de Nubie (Travels in Egypt and Nubia) Norden describes the mysterious Pyramid:

“The principal pyramids are at the east, south-east of Gize …..There are four of them; that deserve the greatest attention of the curious,; for tho we see seven or eight others in the neighborhood, they are nothing in comparison to the former. ……. ……..The two most northerly pyramids are the greatest and have five hundred feet perpendicular height. The two others are much less, but have some particularities, which occasion their being examined and admired.”

It is s without coating, closed and resembles the others, but without any temple like the first. It has however, one particular deserving remark; which is, that its summit is terminated by a single great stone, which seems to have served as a pedestal…the fourth pyramid has been made, upwards above the middle, of a stone more black than the common granite, and at least as hard. Its summit is of a yellowish stone. I shall speak elsewhere of its top, which terminates in a cube. It is, moreover, situated out of the line of the others, being more to the west…it makes a series with the three others.”

It's interesting that Herodotus mentioned a pyramid (supposedly the Third) of Menkaure but he describes it as, Ethiopian/Black stone up to the half way point and square,

"This king also left behind him a pyramid, much smaller than that of his father, of a square shape and measuring on each side three hundred feet lacking twenty, built moreover of Ethiopian stone up to half the height. This pyramid some of the Hellenes say was built by the courtesan Rhodopis, not therein speaking rightly: and besides this it is evident to me that they who speak thus do not even know who Rhodopis was, for otherwise they would not have attributed to her the building of a pyramid like this, on which have been spent (so to speak) innumerable thousands of talents: moreover they do not know that Rhodopis flourished in the reign of Amasis, and not in this king's reign; for Rhodopis lived very many years later than the kings who left behind them these pyramids."





Was he talking bout the third or the fourth?

Interesting that there is some controversy having to do with a female for whom the third was built for... seems some of the best mysteries are linked to Women.



"Egyptian variations on a theme: a courtesan, a princess, a queen"

"We are still left, however, with a big problem here: how do we reconcile (1) the Egyptian story, as reported by Manetho, about the building of the third pyramid as a tomb for Nitokris the queen and (2) the Egyptian story, as reported by Hecataeus by way of Diodorus, about the building of this same pyramid as a tomb for the courtesan Rhodopis? In the case of Rhodopis, the actual builders are the nomarchs of Egypt, who are the lovers of the courtesan: so, the courtesan herself is not the builder. In the case of Nitokris, by contrast, she herself undertakes the project of building the pyramid."

But what was the Egyptian name of this Rhodopis? Here I focus on ancient reports about a queen named Nitokris who ruled toward the end of the 6th Dynasty, in the late third millennium BCE. The dating and the naming originate from the Egyptian historian Manetho, who lived in the third century BCE. In a surviving paraphrase from the work of Manetho, who composed in Greek, we read these further details about Nitokris the queen:

Nitokris was the most noble and beautiful of all the women of her generation. She was fair [xantha] in complexion [khroia]. It was she who erected the third pyramid. She ruled for twelve years.

Manetho FGrH 609 F 2 (p. 26) lines 18–21[31]

I translate xantha for the moment here as ‘fair’, as in the English expression ‘fair-skinned’, but we are about see that the translation ‘blonde’ is likewise valid. According to the relevant paraphrase of Manetho by Eusebius in this context, the description of Nitōkris in the surviving Armenian translation of Eusebius’s original Greek wording is rendered in Latin as flava rubris genis ‘blonde with blushing cheeks’. These descriptions of Nitokris correspond closely to the meaning of the Greek name Rhodopis, ‘the one with the rosy face’—or ‘the lady with the rosy face’.

Heya Fancy.

Have you seen all of this fourth pyramid stuff?

Thread: Ancient book contains detailed drawings of a fourth pyramid in Giza

Star knowledge says that the seven stars in the dipper are known as the seven stages of lifeway.

In the mans(slightly different from womans) pathway, Tokahe is the first star whom was a leader and tricked by Iktomi into bringing the people up onto the surface which was the transition of rock into fire age. The seven stages was a representation of the evolution of consciousness of the 4 ages.

4 was seen as a sacred significant number as each lesson has four understandings.
