You have a right to your wrong opinion, but you and "the necro squad" are not egyptologists nor have ever made any public claims to understanding Eastern Thought and Eastern Thought came from the Yoruba to the Meroe to the Ancient Egyptians and then directly to Sumer & China......What Moulee & I have plotted out is absolutely correct.Noctifera wrote:I am quite aware he was referring to this (although the multiple books of the dead were not addressed, from what I can see..)kenpodragon wrote:I think Caiyros was trying to state that there is a misconception about the "books of the dead" being related to a necronomicon or grimoire, rather than a book of spiritual wisdom.
However, the manner in which he does so I find to be misleading - which is why I sought to clarify the facts for others who may be reading;
the rest of what he has stated in regards to the book is more along the lines of one interpretation on the contents therein. The funerary rites can be understood as a source of death/afterlife magick. One versed in the death arts would be more attuned to that significance.
So contrary to what a scholarly notion may depict, I do not feel there is a wrong or right way to look at it.. beyond the very nature of the subject matter.
