Agreed. I have copies of the Corpus Hermeticum, the Kybalion, and the Hermetica.
Also, there's a very good chance that my research includes the core that ties Egypt to both chemistry and alchemy. I am pretty sure I've figured out the science and legitimate origin of the baptism ritual. I shared this research on Once Bitten episode 562. TLDR the Egyptians were capable of synthesizing various chemicals using their buildings, including hydrochloric and sulfuric acids which are what would be necessary to convert basalt into magnesium sulfate used in sensory deprivation. Sarcophagi were sensory deprivation tanks. Sensory deprivation induces theta neural oscillations which are key to multiple altered states of consciousness including kundalini awakenings up to and including full enlightenment.
