βPhysical evidence of the deliberate use of psychotropic substances in ceremonial practiceβ
Interesting. I thought this was verified a long time ago. How little or almost nothing one knows.

I only read Muraresku this year. Had no idea about any of this before that.
I have been very curious since I was little. There was a time when I wanted to be an Egyptologist and I read everything I could get my hands on about it.
I see that curiosity in your posts. I get that curiosity about Egypt too. Ancient Egyptians feel somehow alien. Itβs like their lineage went full Ozymandias a la Shelly and didnβt really carry forward but instead died out leaving only monuments.

I just finished reading Ozymandias. I like the way you see it. I think that ancient Egypt is much more than just monuments. The looting and theft of its legacy has left us little. Yet it still manages to fascinate us in a way that few cultures have achieved throughout history.
One day I'll finish the reading of the fascinating The Temple in Man: A Treasury of Feasts and Festivals: Sacred Architecture and the Perfect Man, by Schwaller de Lubicz. I had to give up reading for multiple reasons.π₯²
Did you like what you did read?
Yea, a lot. The book it's a very intriguing study. But it was not easy for me. π He(Lubicz)explores the ancient Egyptian culture, relating philosophy, architectural symbolism of temples,cosmology,math and a lot of other things from his years of empirical studies of the Temple of Luxor.
Oh! I've a copy of physical book already. But thanx u nontheless βΊοΈ
Iβm going to check it out.
