and you are sure of this?....how...
I am sure of nothing.
I know as simple fact that they had no words or synonyms of "belief", "thought", nor taxonomic words. Vast categories of modern vocabulary are not represented in Ancient Language and it breaks Zipf's Law. Apparently this is because they didn't think like Egyptologists think. Ancient Language is just like the computer code that drives the program we are using in that very very few words are needed. As such most of the language was nouns and this is why it breaks Zipf's Law. Egyptologists never noticed any of this because we all see what we expect to see. We see our beliefs preferentially to reality itself.
I believe that animals and ancient man survive by means of consciousness largely because this would explain vast swathes of observation and experiment.
ancient people did not know the word.... belief
but they understood theory?
Yes and no. Mostly "yes" but it should be remembered that a tool defines what job it can do and animal science (ancient science) is distinct from modern science. Our's works on observation > experiment and their's was observation > logic and it only works because the digital animal mind is perfectly logical. The animal brain reflects its wiring which was created by the same natural logic as reality itself. For practical purposes it can be said ancient people modeled reality itself and we model our beliefs.
and we could include a classic scenario.....
eat of the fruit.....and you will not die
even though you have been told that you will
Oddly enough all of Genesis appears to be from the exact same source; ancient science. Eat the fig and you will not die from the perspective of people but you will from the perspective of the serpent.
The primary means by which Ancient Language became confused to modern language speakers is that it had a "floating perspective". Perspective could be redefined with almost every sentence and you must know the grammatical rules to keep up with it. You must know that the language can't be parsed or deconstructed because every word had one fixed concrete meaning and represented its referent in a sentence. A "serpent" was the colloquial word for a flow of fluid and defined the action and perspective of the sentence. Every thing had three words and one defined the subject, one the action, and one the meaning. "Iuasas" was the scientific term for "fluid flow" so defined the subject.
It's hard for people now to even imagine a language that can't be parsed because that's how we communicate. Every word you see here must be defined on a real time basis as you read it or the meaning of this sentence will escape you. This is how modern language works and our brains are programmed by it. Hence we must think in one dimension. Ancient people thought differently and from their perspective they didn't even experience "thought" at all. For most practical purposes "thought" is the process of comparing sensory input to our models and beliefs. They had no models and no beliefs. Their language was a manifestation of reality itself as they understood it based on a few simple axioms and 40,000 years of "animal science".
Language became increasingly complex because it was metaphysical and fewer and fewer people could understand it until about 2000 BC when the official language was changed to its pidgin form in an event we know only as the "tower of babel".
Reality (amun) has always been hidden from us and only science (real science) can provide glimpses of it.
