Egyptian funerary texts

[Minimalist]

I wonder what the hieroglyphs are for "medium rare, with onions, tomato, lettuce, bacon and cheddar cheese?"

Syncretism, be our savior!
Conflation our king!
You are using Plutarch as a source for myth-blending?

You have no respect for the work of the others, my friend!

Anyhow, Plutarch was in Egypt and what information he conveys he did not imagine.
The specific passage I use because it is the best there is to show that Typhon, Bebon and Set is one and the same person.

You are a well educated man and I had expected some serious comments from you that would help me to find flaws in my analysis of that text.
Well, never mind! Καλά να είσαι!

[Epimethean]

No, the passage is there to help you get your point that Typhon and Set are one and the same, which is unlikely save by use of conflation. Plutarch is notorious for bending or breaking truths to connect things which he wanted to connect. He was also a mystery religion lover, so he shared your passion for connecting such things.

As were the priests of Egypt before him. If we trudge along with the same line of reasoning any information they conveyed must not have been imagined. One bit of information being a belief in the afterlife. Your theory is DOA (according to yourself no less).

Wait, wait, I forgot, we must accept certain assumptions and give special treatment to your theory.

My…precious friends,
you read my post up to where Plutarch’s passage is quoted, you found the excuse you were looking for, you did not bother to read any further and thus you missed all the fun!

The information that the Egyptian passage conveys is that the primitive men who took millions of years to be created by bibi/Bebon were transformed into proper men by means of the phallus of the gods.

Who cares whether the name given to the creator of the savages is Bibi, Bebon, tbn, Typhon, Set or Suty?
I was expecting you to cry out loud that the translation of your academic translators is the correct one and that I have manufactured mine.

Or maybe I am mistaken and eventually you recognized Academia’s incredible blunder on the specific subject. hock:

[Epimethean]

You are always expecting, my dear, sweet friend. I think that is your main issue, and so you see what you want to see-and tell the rest that they are the ones cherry picking for excuses. Missing the fun? You mean the contrived justifications? Oh dear me.

[The Grand Nudger]

Now he's just starting to sound like the phallus finder.....

Honestly Tango, when you go looking for something, really searching for it, you'll usually find what you're looking for regardless of whether or not it's actually there. That's why I've encouraged you to submit your ideas to academia (which you seem to have a such a baseless loathing for) as a sort of "canary in the mine".

But academe is the source της μεγάλης συνωμοσίας!!!

But academe is the source της μεγάλης συνωμοσίας (of the great conspiracy)!!!

Not necessarily, I always supply a way out: της μεγάλης αδιαφορίας που αγγίζει τα όρια της ανοησίας (your turn to translate )

[Epimethean]

Αδιαφορία από ανοησία.
