Do you find any justification for this whatsoever in Egyptian

Rolf Krauss, a renonwed Egyptologist, and one
of the integer figures in that sometimes dubious
field, identified Osiris with Orion in his great book
on early Egyptian astronomy (very expensive,
I have it at home, one of the hundred books
I would not give away).

Your definition of "writing" is the correct one, but "A" never
"became" an [ideo]gram, and you have still not defined "hieroglyph" or
"glyp[h]."

Yes, I did. A hieroglyph is a pictogram with
a phonetic value, for example the lying H on
several pillars at Göbekli Tepe, which I read
as earth (lower horizontal bar) and sky (upper
horizontal bar), AC CA (as explained several
times). The abstract idea of heaven and earth
and the exchanges in between is a pictogram,
and the phonetic value makes it a hieroglyph.
Klaus Schmidt doesn't ponder this difference
in his book, he just speaks of pictograms and
Neolithic hieroglyphs. It's me who makes it
explicit and proposes a phonetic value to
the pictogram of the lying H.

Sending off this much, in the hope to come
through, continuation follows.
